Happy 40th Anniversary! ~ Cake and Cupcakes

Happy 40th Anniversary to Mike's Mom and Dad, wishing them many more happy years.  Their party was a picnic theme everything was decorated in red, white, and red and white checkered pattern.  The cake had two ants on top made out of modeling chocolate.  The cakes where white wedding cake and the lemon cake with blueberry filling all covered in buttercream.  The ants on the cupcakes were made out of the brown M&Ms and frosting.

Tough Mudder 2013

Proud of my husband he is one "Tuff Mudder"  He started the course at 8:20 am and completed it 2 hrs later.  Not bad as a rookie and not bad compared to his other team mates one that finished at 2 hrs 20 min and 2 that finished at 3 hrs!  They all did good it was pretty muddy but couldn't have asked for a better day to be running through the mud and falling into the ice cold waters!
 
 
The guys before the race


 
I finally caught up to my hubby on obstacle 16. I totally missed him at the beginning! I guess he was like a bolt of lightening and sped right on past!

 
The Ladder to Hell


 
Jumping 15 feet down into a muddy pond of cold water that was 14 feet deep...I caught him with the camera as he was going in.


 
Finally at the finish getting zapped with the electro shock therapy.

 
A cold beer and a head band and a T-Shirt to make it all worth it!

 
The guys after the race

 
Our truck got decorated while we were at the race.

Ready for nicer weather!

It was a long week, everyone in the house came down with the dreaded stomach bug and we couldn't enjoy the nice weather at the beginning of the week.  So what better way to celebrate recovery than to eat pizza and make smores inside on the "smore maker"  Summer cant get here fast enough!

Happy Easter (or is it Eastermas??)

It was a busy Easter but we wouldn't (or couldn't) have had it any other way!  It was a cold windy rainy day but you cant expect too much out of Ohio weather.
We started our day with Church then lunch at Aunt Annie's and Uncle Greg's.  The kids had to find their hidden baskets there and Easter Eggs and they had a pinata too.  Then off to have supper at Mom and Pop's with a few Easter gifts and then off to Ma and Pa's for Easter Baskets and a little egg hunt.  Boy were we tired by the end of the day.  And we had a lot to do when we got home....some where I lost my memo that Easter has turned into Easter and Christmas combined.....hmmm somethings wrong with that picture (see the end of this post....)
 
 
 
Got the girls to stand outside for 5 minutes for Easter pictures even though we were freezing and the wind was giving them new hair dues!


 
"K" can always throw on a smile and bust a move (and boy does that girl have some moves!)

 
We did an egg hunt at Aunt Annie's and Uncle Greg's.  Each kid had to find the color of eggs to match their baskets.  That way everyone had the same amount of treasures and it made it a little tougher.  A great idea found on Pinterest by my sister in law.


 
Everyone gets a chance at the Easter egg pinata.......who will be the lucky one?????

 
Cousin "R" gets the best hit and he shares the treasures with his little sister and girl cousins.

 
Getting their Easter Baskets at Ma and Pa's


 
Yeah!!!  A hidden egg found!


 
All the bags were unloaded from our Uhal (I mean vehicle)

 
Then everything was removed and sorted and there sure was a lot of sorting and unloading to do!

 
All in all we had a great time but wow next year maybe we could take it down a notch or two or three!
Being the nice person that I am and the fact that I didn't want to fill the dentists pockets anymore I sent quite an over flowing Easter basket to work with my husband so that they could all enjoy the cavities I mean goodies!  Don't worry the girls had plenty left here to enjoy too I didnt send it all away!

My Future Cake Decorators

Every once in awhile the girls like to get in on the decorating too.  So I made them mini easter cakes to decorate and eat!
