I made these rainbow cupcakes. They are nothing special, just white cake mix tinted 6 different colors and then layered in cupcake cups. The marshmallow cream frosting was sort of a flop. (Note to self: Don't take untried recipes to get togethers!) The taste was good, but once the frosting got a little warm, it stuck to the waxed paper I had put on top of them during travel. It did make for some cheap entertainment though, as my sister in law attempted to help me loosen the waxed paper by using the blow dryer to try and release the frosting with heat. (Note to self: That didn't work real well.) Just very thankful that I didn't go with my first inclination which was to pipe "40" on the top of each of them in a contrasting color. :)

Anniversary Cupcakes
On July 3rd my parents celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary. As they always have the whole family over for the 4th each year, we decided that would be a good time to celebrate.

15 Years
Tim and I celebrated 15 years of marriage on Sept. 2. We took this picture last weekend. I wonder which one of us is giving the other one gray hair?!Wednesday, September 02, 2009

The Past Weekend In Pictures
A little grape snatcher.
Playing in the overgrown garden. I was preparing an area for one more round of radishes. I only paid 10 cents, so I figure I don't have much too lose.
On Sunday we went and spent the day at Todd and Charity's house. We just called them up and said "hey, we'll be down in a few hours". They were very gracious hosts! It was a great way to spend our anniversary!
Todd and Tim were in charge of grilling the steaks. I think Tim had a supervisory role!
The t-bones for the kids... 
and plate sized Porterhouses for the adults! I think it was the first time in my life I ever ate all the steak that I wanted to. We also had potato salad, tortilla chips with fresh salsa, and french bread with chive butter.
Sliding down the steps.
