What We've Been Up To.....

It's been a busy week. Thursday my mom and step-dad came down to spend the weekend with us to help celebrate Colton's birthday and Easter. Since Colton didn't have school on Friday, I took the day off to be with him. He wanted to go mini-golfing, so that morning we dropped of his little brother at daycare and we were off to the MOA for 18 holes. We all had a great time. I think our scores were 56, 57, 58, and 60 - it was a close one!
Once we got home, I worked on Colton's cake. Since he requested a Star Wars cake for his kid party, I was able to talk him into letting me do what ever I wanted for his family party. I made a big old birthday cake and for the first time used fondant. Whew. It looks a lot easier than it really is. I had a heck of time rolling it out into a circle shape. I got it a little thin in parts so it did tear a bit when I put it on the cake. I tried my best to cover my errors with the circles.

We had all the family over for dinner. It was a great time. Colton received so many wonderful gifts!

Saturday was our 2nd annual neighborhood egg hunt. Here is Colton with a couple of his best buds before we let them loose.And they're off....
Once all the eggs are found, it gets serious. They wheelin and dealin - trading this for that.

Here are the boys with their loot from the Easter Bunny. Brett got busted a few times throughout the day sneaking candy. We knew what he was up to every time it got quiet!

Very professional. I am very impressed! Not to mention I dig the color scheme--not traditional, but fun & colorful! KUDOS!
