The Kitchen Aid
In the new year Lola and I started baking. We love it and the more and more we do it, the more tools I decide that we need. I have a list and have been slowly purchasing the baking equipment necessities. By the time I manage to amass all of these items we are going to have to build a bigger kitchen. The one piece of baking equipment that I was determined would greatly and irrefutably transform our baking experience was the Kitchen Aid. And it arrived on my birthday!
Lola is very excited about it and has named it Madagascar.
It is unbelievable how great it is, I really can't explain it.
Lola and I cranked out a few treats this weekend and are looking forward to having the most popular cookies at the upcoming daycare bake sale.
Thanks Darcy, I (we) love it!

Gardening
The sunshine has finally arrived and we were so excited to get back into our garden. The monsoon like weather that we have been experiencing was great for our gardens, everything is green and lush and completely over grown.
This weekend we managed to pull two yard waste bags of weeds.
Lola is by far the cutest gardener in the family!

Happy Birthday Mom - Part 2
We first celebrated Mom's birthday at the May Babies birthday party. But, this year Mom said that she wasn't going to be happy with just one birthday celebration. So, Dad invited a few friends over for dinner to fete her a second time.
Beej was, of course, one of the guests. We got to have our own table in the back so that we could watch a movie and eat dinner without being disturbed by all the adults talking.
Beej with the help of Katie and Mark was in charge of picking out the birthday cake. The final cake choice was kept a secret until the candles were lit and the singing began.
He decided on this amazing train ice cream cake. He thought that mom would love it because it involved trains and well, what else do you need?
Mom and Neven were very excited by the cake when it was finally revealed.
Beej and I doing a really good job at helping Mom blow out the candles.
After blowing out the candles, Beej and I helped Mom take them out and lick them off.
Beej and I were both very excited by the prospect of ice cream cake, it was too delicious for words.
I wanted to eat the face, which involved a lot of blue icing. I may have gotten some on my hands.
Happy Birthday Mom!
