Easter Egg Hunt 2010

At church this morning we had an Easter Program and Easter Egg Hunt.  The program was great and reminded us of the meaning of Easter.  The Easter egg hunt was entertaining.  They had all the kids 5 and under hunt in the grassy area in front of the church and we just had to laugh at how they actually had to hunt for eggs that were in plain site.  Dawson filled his bucket but still tried to get more eggs.  He was actually successful in getting more, only because as he ran he'd loose eggs and that made more room for the new ones.

Strawberries

What do you do with 12 lbs of Strawberries?

You make jam, strawberry shortcake, cut them up for cereal, eat a lot of them, and freeze some for smoothies.  Yum, spring is here and so are the strawberries!

Binky Patrol Blankets

David and I made blankets for http://www.binkypatrol.org" .  Binky Patrol makes and collects homemade blankets to give away to children in need of comfort.  It was a fun little project that even Dawson helped with.

Mayfield Dairy Tour

Don't you just LOVE hairnets?!

We had a great time in Tennessee last Friday.  We got to tour the Mayfield dairy and even met Scottie Mayfield, the President of the company.  Funny thing (as if the hairnets weren't enough) they never mentioned that milk comes from cows and we didn't see any cows.  We kind of expected to see the whole process from cow to final product.  Oh well, it was still a fun family outing.  We enjoyed yummy ice cream (Dawson had chocolate chip mint, Julie had Strawberry Cheesecake & David had Candy Bar), and chocolate milk.

New Family Pictures

Dawson was extra silly on picture day so it made for some fun shots.

February Ride

David's brother came into town for a long, fun weekend of dirt bike riding.  This is just 1 of almost 200 pictures.  They always play hard and have lots of laughs.

Wilton Course II Final Cake

I've always wanted to take cake decorating classes and have just finished my second course and this is my final cake.  We learned to make all those flowers, the birds (colorflow), the rope boarder and basket weave you see pictured.  Yellow cake with french vanilla mousse filling.  I can't wait to take the next class.

I made this tiered cake for a baby shower.  It was my first tiered cake and first time working with marshmallow fondant.  Chocolate and white cake with french vanilla mousse filling.

Snow In Atlanta

Snow doesn't happen very often in the south but it has snowed about 5-6 inches twice in the last 2 weeks and we love it!  We were all so excited to play in the snow and make a snowman.  Dawson learned to pick up the snow and make a snowball without any help...I guess it's a natural thing to want to throw the snow.  We even sledded down the hill in our backyard.  We love the snow!
