Happy 35th........yes I am a WoW widow

Chris turned 35 on Friday...yep he is older than me and I rub in it every chance I get. We went out to dinner with his family and back to our house for cake, well cupcakes actually. Since he is a huge World of Warcraft fan, I tried my hand at making cupcakes of his favorite thing. They didn't turn out to bad and he really enjoyed it. WoW is his hobby of choice, he spends all his free time on the computer playing his game as his alter ego, Jedander. So I am what they call a Wow widow of sorts. More of that in another post.

Here is Chris opening his presents from the kids and I....World of Warcraft figures, and comic books. Yep he is a geek. Just don't tell him. Kimy and Joey were trying to help.
Here are the cupcakes I made. All the pieces on top are made of chocolate. I traced them from various parts of the game. He really liked them and said I did a good job.
Meghan presenting the cupcakes with candles for Dad to blow out. All in all we had a nice evening sand Dad had a great birthday.

Cupcakes!!!!

So lately I have been trying my hand at some cake decorating.

Okay it is cupcakes, but I love it and so do the kids. I found

this great book called Hello, Cupcake!

Here where the first cupcakes I made. They are popcorn cupcakes.

I made these for Kassidy's birthday in May.

On Monday I made these with neighbor for one of her daycare kids. The cats were fun to make and the kids had fun eating them.
All the cats we made.
Here are the pirates we made for we had a pirate party we had for the kids.
These were not in the book, but we didn't do to bad.

Kassidy Jo..............

Kassidy is the middle kiddo. She is my little mom. She loves kids, especially babies. If there is a baby around she is there entertaining them. She is also funny and loves to talk. She can make friends with everyone. She also loves to read and learn. She amazes me with all the new facts she comes home with from school. It will be interesting to she what the future has in store for her.

Our Newest Addition

So while we were at the farm today Kimy feel in love with the kittens. How could you not. I also feel in love with them also. Especially this little guy.

He has no name as of yet and the two older girls have not seen him yet. I know that he will be well loved and cared for.
We will keep you all posted as to his name. Hopefully he gets one soon.

A Trip to the Farm.....

Today we went to Duyck's Peachy Pig Farm as a field trip with our other daycare friends. We all had so much fun. Espically the kids, okay us Mom's had a blast also.

Sam is feeding the pigs. They had some really big ones, and even had some babies. They were all cute to look at and feed.
Kimy and Joey feeding one of the pigs. Their hair is very coarse when you pet them.
Here is Sam feeding the cow. Sam was so excited about getting to pet the cow. The cow shares his pasture with a little goat. They were quite the pair.
Here is Dylan and Persephone taking their turn petting and feeding the cow.
Here is Joey and Dylan feeding the ducks, Chicken and other various farm birds. I think the kids all enjoyed checking out the diffent types of birds. They also liked throwing the bread for them to eat.
Kimy, Sam, and Persephone feeding Aurora the horse. They all loved getting a chance to pet the horse on the head.
Here is Persephone and Joey feeding Trigger. He lives seperate from the girls because he likes to hog all the food.
Kimy feel in love with the baby kitten's She snuggled up to all of them. More to come about the kittens......
Joey is holding a baby chick. He was not to sure about it at first but he decided he like it. All in all we had a blast. It is someplace that Vanessa, Mandie and I are going to take the kids again.

First Day of School......

Today was the first day of school for the two oldest girls. They were both excited to get started on the new school year. I made scrambled eggs for breakfast, made lunches for school, did their hair and sent them on their way. Here is Meghan all ready to start the 7th grade. I can't believe how big she has gotten. She was very excited to get back to school and see her friends.
Kassidy is in the 3rd grade this year. She was also excited to get back to school. Her school has been under construction this summer and she wanted to see all the new stuff.
Kimy and Joey are not ready for school until next September, but wanted in on the picture taking. I know they miss having the girls home. I miss them while they are at school also. I can't wait for them to get home and hear all about their day.
