Rainbow Cakes Take 1 (Part 2)

Here we go! We made 1 pan of good, ole' fashioned vanilla cupcakes. Our second batch was a bit more creative and a lot more fun.

Plain Jane cupcakes...very yummy though!

First pick your colors and stir

Then stir a bit more...make sure you stir and taste each color.

We made 3 colors. I was a tad short on colors since Aiden and Daddy used up my food coloring supply in the bathtub. 3 colors is plenty for a 2 year old anyway. Trust me.

Layer up the colors in cupcake liners. Tip: I made one batch with liners and one without. There was no difference in the finished product and my pan was lots easier to clean when I used cupcake paper. :)

Yum...who doesn't love a little Yellow #5 and Red #3? I never said these were healthy cupcakes, people!

They looked pretty when the colors melted together in the oven.

More is on the way....

Apple Creek

A new year, a new orchard. This year we tried out Apple Creek Orchard and it was a really pretty place. We picked apples, took a hay ride, and the boys had fun with the apple slinger. We were joined by Tom's parents and it feels so good to have them now living close by instead of far away.

Almost to the finish line.

It's hard to believe that Aiden turns 18 in one week and walks through graduation in just one month. After more than a decade of homeschooling, 2 years of PSEO, and no less than one million moments that I'll treasure forever, my oldest will be an adult and graduated. Great things are ahead for my boy!

Happy Birthday, Cade!

My littlest is seven and it's hard not to be sad. We couldn't be without him, and we're so glad he's ours. At seven years old Cade loves to do what everyone else is doing. He will NOT play by himself, and maybe it's because he's used to having someone to entertain him all the time. He loves legos and soccer. He also loves to read. I am ALWAYS finding Cade trying to tackle reading a book he probably isn't quite ready for. Lately he's been trying to read The Hobbit. While he's able to read all the words, he just doesn't have the depth of understanding to read it independently quite yet. He LOVES Tom Sawyer so he was delighted to find an abridged version to read. Cade makes up his own mind about things. He will NOT be bossed around. He holds his own, so I don't worry about his brothers pushing him over. Cade also won't be pushed over physically. He is one tough kid. If Cade is crying, I know he is actually hurt because he never cries ove...
