I just found some pictures of this awesome cake I made a few months ago with the kids. The colors are weird, I know, but we only had 2 old things of food coloring to work with and they were mostly gone. It is the only fondant cake I’ve ever attempted, and I’ll probably never do it again. It took way too long. I prefer to slap on the already prepared stuff and some sprinkles. But anyway, this cake was from scratch with raspberry filling, and it was MMMMM good!!! Now I’m hungry…

About a month ago Asiel and I rode in the Tour de Cure, which raises funds for diabetes research. This year’s 65 mile ride was a more difficult route than last years, and the weather was TERRIBLE. It was freezing cold and the wind blew up to 50 miles per hour all day long (and no matter which direction we were going it was blowing us backwards…
). It took us 7 hours to complete, but we finished and we will do it again next year I’m sure.
Aren’t we stylish in our biking attire?

Here we are with our friend Josh. He helped me keep going when Asiel left me in the dust. Thanks Josh!

Lady DaDa (aka Darcy) often makes up new songs for us. This morning as I was doing her hair she was singing one that I think could be a real hit. And since I inspired the lyrics, I think I should get a cut of the profits…

We get solicitors at our house WAY too often. This morning our doorbell rang while I was still in my pjs. As my kids made a mad dash to answer it I tackled them to the ground and told them we were going to hide really quietly and pretend no one was home. After 5 minutes of trying to keep them hushed and contained my sister called. “Whatcha doin?” she asked. “We are hiding.” I answered. “Oh. Well I’m at your front door. Come let me in.”

Dax, harassing his brother and sister until they screamed:
Mom: “Dax, are you being naughty?”
Dax: “Nope. I’m being funny. There’s a difference.”
