First Kill!

I loved receiving this picture yesterday!

Andrew is in Arkansas duck hunting with my dad.

1) first time to hunt

2) first time to use his new shotgun on a real living animal (no clay disks this go around)

3) first trip with my dad (including like 5 of his friends)--hoping he still has all 4 appendages when he comes back today

=)

He has had a lot of fun and cant wait to go back!

I got this one today...guess he is learning quickly!

quality is not so great (blackberry pics) but you get the point. he loves it!

Engagement!!!

So my sister-in-law Katie got engaged! We are all so exited and so happy for her!

It was her birthday wednesday and the day she got engaged (well was suppose to be the day but it actually ended up happening tuesday!), could you ask for a better bday present?

Well for a little fun birthday cake I started off my Tuesday night like this...

(pictures tell the story)

1) purchase ingredients and wedding magazines for the soon-to-be-bride!

2) bake red velvet (band part of ring made of Sprinkles Cupcake Mix-YUM) and yellow cakes (yellow cake mix is diamond park of ring)

3) Get red velvet cake out of mold without a disaster and let cakes cool

4) Cut cake in diamond shape and transfer to cookie sheet

5) Re-energize!

6) ice cakes!!! i used a little sugar shimmer for the diamond! turned out pretty good, i was happy with it!

7) eat. enjoy.

Andrew and I are so happy for Katie and Drew. We cant wait for all the festivities to start taking place!!
