Beach Day Cupcakes!

Today we are having a bbq down at Dohini beach in San Clemente with all of Glenns family and like usual I was asked to bring a dessert! I never mind because I LOVE to bake. I figured I would make cupcakes since they are the easiest dessert to eat at the beach since you don't have to cut them or use a plate... I wanted to go with the beach theme and I had seen a picture on the internet a couple weeks ago of similar cupcakes...
I made some chocolate cupcakes and some white cupcakes and I frosted the chocolate cupcakes and then covered the frosting in graham cracker crumbs to make it look like sand and then I just stuck a little umbrella in each one! They turned out way cuter than I thought!
The white cupcakes I frosted with blue icing and then cut out a bunch or "shark fins" on blue cardstock and stuck them in the frosting... it looks like a shark in the water!

They turned out so cute... if anyone needs little umbrellas let me know because I have a box of 150!

POO POO ON DORA?!

YOU KNOW IT'S TIME TO BE POTTY TRAINED WHEN THEY OPEN UP THE CLOSET, BUST OUT THE CHANGING PAD, LAY IT ON THE COUCH, LAY ON TOP OF IT, AND THEN YELL "MOMMY I POOOOED!" KAILE IS IN THE MIDST OF GETTING POTTY TRAINED AND SHE USUALLY IS PRETTY GOOD ABOUT IT BUT I WAS ON THE PHONE AND IGNORED HER TELLING ME THAT SHE NEEDED TO "POO POO ON DORA AND BOOTS" (SHE HAS A DORA POTTY) SO SHE WENT IN HER DIAPER... SHE IS SOOOOO FUNNY! SHE WAS ALL SMILES AFTER GETTING A FRESH DIAPER ON!

The Perfect Double Stroller...

So I have been looking and looking for the "perfect" double stroller and I think I have finally found it! Before I had Koa I went and tried out a million different strollers and I HATED them all! The side by sides are way too wide and the other ones that are one in front of the other are way too long and I felt like I was pushing a train! I am so glad that I waited and kept researching because I think this is the best double stroller EVER! I didn't get to push one because I couldn't find a store around here that carries them, but I read a ton of reviews and everyone who has one loves it! I had been bidding on them on ebay and finally "won" one it yesterday (Glenn says its not "winning" if you have to pay for it... but we got our government stimulus check so I don't have to feel bad...) I can't wait to get it!! I surprised myself and went with the green... I usually would go for black but I loved this green! The great thing about this stroller is that you can take the back seat off easily if you just want a single stroller and it has many different positions for babies and toddlers! Hopefully it's all that it's cracked up to be!

I LOVE MY BABIES!

Kaile is 20 months old and she totally KILLS me with all of the funny things she says... the other day I told her that if she didn't stop jumping on the bed she was going to get a "spankin..." and she sat down real quick and said "OHHHH my butt cheek!" (I don't know how she even knows what a butt cheek or a spanking is because I am not one to spank... EVER!) Today we were getting ready for church and she kept running away from me when I was trying to get her dressed and she said "mommys mean face" and made that face pictured... I guess I look like that when I am mad!
With my two babies! They are SO sweet!

4th of July

So we were suppose to start off the 4th early by meeting all of Glenns family for breakfast in HB and then going to watch the parade on Main St.... but instead we spent most of the morning looking for my dang car keys (I think it's time to get a spare or 2 made)! OOps! We found them around noon and then decided to go to lunch together... here is the kids making silly faces as we looked for our keys.
We ended up just relaxing all day and then headed down to the beach to watch the fireworks that they did off of the pier. Glenns family had set up a spot right next to the pier and right on the water so we had a GREAT view for the fireworks!
It was quite a hassel to get to the beach because PCH was closed down and the beach was SOOOO packed! Luckily glenns friend lives right on the beach so we got to park in his driveway... otherwise we definately wouldn't have been able to find anywhere to park. My pictures kinda suck of the fireworks but they were so pretty!
Koa LOVED the fireworks... he was so amazed and just stared at them. It was so cute and I was so glad that he wasn't scared!
Kaile on the other hand was a bit freaked out. She was okay as long as daddy held her tight.
Kaile refused to take her glasses off at lunch... she is SO funny!

HOPE EVERYONE HAD A GREAT 4TH OF JULY!!

2 MONTHS OLD!

I can't believe that Koa is already 2 months old! I really wish that I could freeze him at this age! I absolutely love this stage where he sleeps through the night... he smiles and giggles and it totally melts my heart... he can't tell me "no" or "stop it mommy"... and he can't run away from me! He is PERFECT right now!

ICE CREAM CONE CUPCAKES!

We made these Ice Cream Cone Cupcakes for Leis (my sister in law) birthday! They were a lot of fun to make and are so cute!

My lovely cousin Heather took the pictures for me!
