We're in FULL SWING!

The kids have each had 3 practices now and are LOVING it!!!

Games start last week of April!

Fried Ice Cream

6 C. Corn flakes
3 C. Wheaties
1 C. pecans, chopped
1 C. unsalted butter
1 1/2 C. packed brown sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 gal. vanilla ice cream

Mix Corn flakes, Wheaties and pecans in a large bowl, breaking the cereal
into smaller pieces.

                                

                                 

(i put the mix in a large baggie and crushed them with a rolling pin, put back in bowl)

In a large saucepan, bring butter, brown sugar
and cinnamon to a boil. Remove from heat and stir into cereal mixture.
Spray nonstick cooking spray in a 9x13 pan.
Add half of the cereal mixture to the pan,
patting down cereal to form a crust.
(i like to use a sheet of wax paper and press with my hand)

Slice vanilla ice cream about 1 inch thick,
and place over crust.

Top with remaining cereal mixture and freeze until firm.
Serve with whipped topping, honey, chocolate sauce or just as it is!!

My little helper!









SOOOO GOOD AND SOOOO EASY!

Easter Picture Post

Easter Egg Hunt at Creekside Park!

Egg Dying at Grandma Deb's

Visiting the Easter Bunny!!

We watched the Bunny parade around the square....FROM THE VAN!!

Bowen just couldn't take it, he wanted the play on the park equipment, but the

equipment his size was marked off for the egg hunt.

He threw a COMPLETE fit, so we BAILED!!

The older two were completely fine with that, cause as we were sitting

in the van looking at the GINORMOUS line of kids

campaired to the amount of eggs laid out in the park.....it

really wasn't worth the wait, besides they

had already been to one!!

So, we decided to go to another playground instead!

They got so EXCITED when they realized which one we were going to

the one in Little Amana!!

(Bowen and I hung out in the van, he was gettin' sleepy.)

Notice the puddle of water under them....Ayden just couldn't

seem to keep his feet out of it!!!!!!

Easter Morning

Bowen ditched his basket and went straight for the chocolate!!

Olivia was the only one who posed for me.

Learning how to do "witches ladder" from Aunt Dee.

Playin' Ball

My kids look up to their OLDER cousins, they think they are AWSOME!

They love it when any of them play ball with them!

Bowen: "Wait up! What about ME?!"

Chillin'

Bowen chillin' with Kaylee and Cole!

These kids are soooo good with the little ones! :)

Blog to Book, Anyone?

This image is from The Cutest Blog on the Block.

Has anyone out there done this?

Just curious, cause I am thinking about doing it.

You can select which post you want to add.

I kind of want a book with post that

I have done that are about the kids.

I have made print outs of my blog to put in

a 3-ring binder, but I think

I am liking this idea?!

What's the secret....

.....to getting your cake to bake evenly?

OBVIOUSLY....I don't know!!!

Looks pretty sad doesn't it?!

I love to bake and usually everything turns out, but, with

cakes....not so much!

They always taste good though!

But, with the help of whipped frosting (love it, and I'm really not

a frosting fan), and my mad decorating skillz (ha!),

I can at least make it look good!

(or so I think)

Some colored frosting piped through some baggies in the

form of SqUigGlEs

makes a cute lookin' cake!
