{Baking, Family, Friends and Fun}

Oh my! It's been a month since I have blogged. I honestly have found it hard to keep up but I am blaming on family time! What better explanation could I have huh? Well, maybe BAKING ! Vanilla cake with chocolate sauce filling and cool whip with powdered sugar icing topped with sprinkles.  Chocolate with fresh strawberry filling with buttercream frosting and a touch of candy pearls.

FOTO FRIDAY

Well it is time to share some of my favorite pictures. My oldest two grandchildren spent a week vacation at the lake and my granddaughter learned to ski and barefoot. My grandson had a good time cheering on his sister and friends to new endeavors at the lake. He wasn't much on trying out new things on the water. Though he does love to get on that big old tube behind the boat and go for miles! Hope you enjoy my grands.  My granddaughter is on the right. Her best friend on the left. They are 6 years old.  My grandson is on the right and his friend on the left. My grandson is 4.   My granddaughter doing her thing! The kids are having a ball! This last picture I love!
