Mackaila's Birthday

Picture post!

Attempt #???

So not gonna happen!

Happy Birthday Girl!!!

Sunday at the Falls

What a fun and relaxing way to spend a Sunday afternoon! Decided to check out some of the local sights on Sundays for a little family time. Molten Falls...sooo pretty this time of year, I've never actually done the trails, but I have been just to pull off and get out so it was really cool.

Goofy boy;)

This is pretty much where Kamdyn "walked" the trail:)

An attempt at a Christmas picture!

Some of the trails were really steep and Tiera didn't really like the idea of slip sliding down:) There was a rope tied to something to help people get the rest of the way down.

Believe me we needed it! lol

There's the rope in the lower left of the above picture.

I was standing near the top when I took this one so you can kinda see how steep it was.

This kid is in constant motion so its hard to get a clear picture;)

It was kinda nerve racking having the little ones getting down and checking

the place out, with the ground being uneven and water running by!
They did pretty good though.

Max only went in once! {a puddle}

Little Girl With A Plan

The kids were playing outside on Sat. when Tiera came rushing in to tell us "the neighbors are selling kettle corn for only 5$ a bag!!!" LOL Then she said " I wish I could sell something" weell I did just bake a bunch of cupcakes the other day....so i told her "you could sell cupcakes if ya want" and she went for it! She set the table up and made a sign while I got the cupcakes ready.

The sign she made was soo cute!

Chatting with the neighbor boy whose mom was her 1st customer:)

Here it is sooo cute!

I added what the flavors were.

Chocolate w/pumpkin cream cheese frosting
and

Pumpkin Gooey w/ brown sugar frosting.

Here she is set up in front of our house, not quite opposite of the little girls selling the kettle corn. I tried to get her to set up next to them but guess she didn't want to. There was a garage sale down at the end of our block, so she ended up moving her little cupcake stand down across from it. She actually sold 9$ worth! WooWhoo:)

This kinda took over my day! I don't know about you all but I hate having my kids play out in the front! {even in our sleepy little town} It just makes me nervous I've heard soo many stories that I can hardly let them. My hubby just smiles and shakes his head but I was raised in the country- no one was ever around! lol You just never know! I'm trying tho...

She had a great time and learned some good lessons too!

Chocolate Pumpkin Cupcakes

Might sound weird but it was actually pretty yummy:) And they look pretty too! Recipes for these and the Gingerbread Cupcakes coming soon...So these have an Oreo cookie crust, chocolate cake, pumpkin cream cheese frosting, and finally the part that makes the cupcake delish, chocolate glaze!!

Enjoy! :)

Have a great weekend!

The Tack Shop

Mmmm...can you smell the leather?? My Grandpa runs this tack shop out of his basement, it now takes up the whole thing, used to have a guest bedroom and an extra living room.They pretty much have people coming and going all the time-especially at dinner time {right Grandma} but it keeps my gramps exercising! All the running up and down the stairs:)

We used to spend alot of time down here, trying out all the saddles!

It was cool to get pictures of kamdyn doing what we did!

Kamdyn loved the saddles and was always going over by the stairs

and babbling away:)

Happy Birthday!!

Happy Birthday to my A*ma*zing hubby!!

Hope you have a great day!!!

I love you;)

Gingerbread Cupcakes

There is just something about cold rainy days that make me feel like doing some baking. So yesterday I set out to make something fallish {that's a word right?} and came up with the gingerbread cupcake. Now after I made them I was thinking gingerbread is kind of a Christmas thing but Whatever it felt fallish at the time! Haha:) Okay hears the scoop on these babies: gingersnap crust, gingerbread cake, spicy white frosting with a sprinkle of nutmeg on top.

Mmmm...yummy!

Here are the little boys coming up for a "look";)

One of the cupcakes had fallen off onto the counter, Max nicely put it back

for me and they went to work on the frosting that was left behind!

Their favorite part:)
