Season of Showers

It's that time in life when friends are expecting babies, and the rest (like us) are just now getting married. My mom & I threw a shower for a dear friend that I've know for 23 years, and I just wanted to share my cupcake creations from the shower which matched the invitations:




Fourth of July

We spent the fourth of July with the Kainers in Houston and had an exciting time. For the evening of the third we visited Pappasito's to celebrate Patrick's dad's birthday. I took the liberty to teach the nieces how to make masks out of tortillas, and I do have to say they were naturals....For the fourth, we spent the day relaxing and selecting fireworks that wouldn't scare the 9 kids we were going to have at the house that evening. We spent $35 and made the fireworks last a little over an hour, and like a typical boy Patrick taught the boys how to stain the concrete with a smoke bomb. However, Patrick's Roman Candle shooting ability definitely needs improvement. Here's a picture showing the stains Patrick created on his mom's street paired with an attempt to make his Roman Candle shoot higher than mine. What can I say.... all I can say is that I think I won our competition by a unanimous vote.
