More Bothell....

We came across this tiny little BBQ place on our way to get our hair cut and nails done. The girl at the salon said it was really good so we stopped there to eat supper. MAN was it good!! I made the mistake of sharing with Lily, she ate like she had never had meat before!! LOL She actually wanted to go back and eat there again the next day, which she did.

This is an actual skin of a croc!

This is her help me I can't stop look;)

Sorry Lily LOve Ya:)

Just keepin it real, right?

They used unused toilet plungers for paper towel holders!

Such a cool place
and

Yummy!!

Where the Heck Is Bothell?

And what the heck were we doing there? lol Going to the spa of course...ahhh the spa, the spa, the spa...enough said.

Nice fizzy foot soak

Glorious hour long massage

ahhhh so awesome!

We are super excited!!

Of course we had to keep our room well stocked. Diet coke a must. Water well you know:)

Kamdyn's Favorite Plaything

He absolutely LOVES the vacuum! Anytime its out of the closet he is crawling as quickly as he can to get over to try to take it down:) He especially loves when its in use, he likes to chase it around. The other kids are totally scared of it (I don't think Shane is actually scared) he just does it to keep the others scared...he thinks its really funny...BOYS what ya goona do right? lol

Kamdyn pretty much always has a froish (is that a word?) kind of mohawk! so cute

Even as I post he is crawling on it, over it, around it- so is Max actually! Well now he has crawled up to my knees and is demanding attention so I'll go before this play by play gets too drawn out!! lol

Quick Update...

So...;) I'm back! lol Here is a month (or so) all in one post!

Katiera had her spring concert at school. She looked so cute:)
They are dressed as bees:)

My sister Janel with her baby Jacob

These boys crack me up! They are all born within monthes of each other Logan in Sept., Max in Oct., and Joshua in March. They are always getting into something when they are together! Here they found a broken fence piece and i'm imagining they are discussing wether they should move it and break free to expierence the big wide world of our sleepy little subdivision or if they should be good little boys and stay on this side and keep thier mommies happy? Hmmm....lets break out!!!

This is at Joshua's birthday party.

oooo presents!

The guys did one of the Sat. night dinners. Actually Jimmy came up with the whole thing and Bruce and TJ just followed direction:) Really yummy salad the Olive Garden recipe, and something like a pizza roll and an alfredo and marinara sauce for dipping.

I had to include this one:)

Look at these cuties!

Shane finally filled his chore chart and he got to go to the store to pick out a toy:) Yay! This really inspired Katiera to fill up hers too:)

I'm still here!! :)

Well I have decided that I am a inconsistant blogger! It really depends on when I upload all my pictures...which I have a ton of right now! I'll post pictures of all our adventures soon:) I have a busy week doing the wedding flowers for my friend Sonya. So maybe I'll be able to get those on later too! Have a great week everyone!

Cupcake Craze

Lately I have been feeling very inventive and cupcakes for some reason are my expierement! These ones are what I'm calling Maple Brown Sugar Cupcakes:)

Maple Brown Sugar Cupcakes

Here's the recipe...Crust: 1c. oatmeal, 1/4c. butter, 1/4c. brown sugar, 1/2c. flour, dash of each: salt and baking soda, 2T. chopped pecans.

Mix together and press 1T. of crust into bottom of greased cupcake tin.

Cupcake mix: White cake mix,1/2t. vanilla, 1t. maple extract, 1/2c. cinnamon chips

Mix according to box directions, using butter in place of oil.

Frosting: 1/2c. butter, 1c. dark brown sugar, 1/3c. heavy cream, 1t. vanilla, 1t. maple extract,2 1/2c. powdered sugar.

In saucepan melt butter and mix in the brown sugar and heavy cream. Bring to a boil, remove from heat and add the extracts and powdered sugar, using a hand mixer. Place into a large storage bag, snip corner and pipe onto cooled cupcakes.

My taste testers!

Shane the picky one gave them 4 thumbs up!

I also tried these with yellow cake mix but everyone agreed that the white was the best:)

Funny Face;)

I took the night off to go to a movie with Lily and this is what entertained Bruce! lol He said that Kamdyn seemed to think this was great fun, when he saw the teeth coming toward him he would open wide! So cute even with those wacked up teeth!LOL

Katiera had to try them out too!! Funny girl:)
