Little Rylin

My best friend had her little boy! YAY!
Congratulations & much love to them!

Baking with BOYS.....

heathen boys at that! Just kidding.

But it was a fun experience... for them.

We decided to make cupcakes! And after getting all the ingredients out & ready.... i realized i had no cupcake pans! Big Ooops! Oh well... we gave it a shot and lined a 13 x 9 pan with the little cupcake holders. And we found out when you dont have the lil' cupcake wrappers in the right pan, you end up with HUGE cupcakes! haha. Anyway... Dylan was a big helper & Ethan on the other hand was a mess. But what do you expect from a 2 1/2 year old version of your husband, right?! haha

taste testing.... Dylan & Ethan approved!

Oooops! (one of many messes)

Choco faced Ethan!

Beatin' the peanut butter filling... still havin' fun!

Ethan sampling the icing.... he likes.

Should I buy some actual mixing bowls. I mean for real! lol
The only real bowl is my sister's.

Apparently the cupcake was too big.
Seriously?! My kid must be crazy.

Dylan's so happy because that is cupcake numero dos for him. Lucky!

So proud to have helped!

And little do they know, that much more of this kind of torturing will go on until I have my little girl to bake with. That goes for shopping too.... poor boys! haha!

Mister Aiden.....

smilin' for Mama

slim shady

just chillin'... and apparently too cool for his clothes.

Dear Stephanie,

I am so thankful that you are off to a speedy recovery. I also know it will take some time to heal, but you have great people surrounding you.... most of them would do anything in the world for you. That also includes me. I know I may not have shown it in the past as well as I should have. I promise to be there for you... for anything you may need. I love you... so much. And you guys have been on my mind & in my prayers daily. Love ya & I'll be in touch soon. XOXO's

I typed this up because I thought it was prettier... and that you deserved something better than just plain jane ole typin'. I think this poem is beautiful & fitting... especially for you. You are a strong woman. Nothing can change that. Not even this trial. If God brings you to it, he will bring you through it...
