Carpinteria

This Saturday I drove up to Carpinteria for a much needed visit with my favorite family. We had so much fun together, just relaxing and touring the town. Nina and I found this great flea market with all these neat vintage items and trendy accessories. The girls were so excited and couldnt wait to put their costumes on that evening. Nevaeh was a beautiful Tinker Bell and Char was an adorable Minnie Mouse. I love you guys! Thanks for letting me spend the day with you! Can't wait until next time :)

Bike rides and sea food!

He fights me for a serious/candid picture every time. 
Yes I can ride my bike and take a picture at the same time. 

 We went to Joe's Crab Shack [my first time there..quite the experience] and practically found ourselves in heaven. The food was delicious.

"Hello, there delicious crab!" 

The next morning Josh made us mickey mouse pancakes! what a great husband :)

Caramel Apples

My "thursday night family" and i have been on a creative streak when it comes to deserts! this past week we decided to make caramel apples. they turned out really well! We had a variety of toppings and everyone's turned out unique. who knew oreos could taste SO yummy on a caramel apple!




Also!! there is a GINORMOUS bee hive outside of our door! we live on the second story so if you look up just as your about to go down the stairs there are hundreds of bees making hunny. Doesn't it look like the perfect "Pooh Bear honey comb"? 

Colorful Cupcakes

Remember a few blogs ago i said i wanted to try one of ColorMeKatie's creative ideas? Well last night before Josh's study, the girls and i made our colorful cupcakes! they turned out really well, i must say. As always i can never pick just one picture to show you, so i will do a series of pictures documenting the entire event. :)

We dyed the cake mix different colors and poured a little bit in each cupcake. im pretty proud of our work actually. 8)
