Ben's Birthday Cake




My friend Lori always does fun cakes for her families birthday's and she know how much I enjoy it too, so when I am at her house she shows me some ideas she gets out of a magazine she receives. She had this one (not knowing just how much Ben and I love sushi) and it was perfect! Ben really liked it and thought I put way too much effort into it as usual. It was so fun to make and way easy too! I thought it was a perfect amount of cake for just the two of us. Usually birthday cake ends up in the garbage because we can't eat it all. If you wanted it to feed more people, I am sure you could make the plate out of cake as well.

Gone Fishin"

Johnny came to stay with us over at the Aeby's and we went fishing both days. Here he is reeling in a big one!
Ben taught he what he knows and Johnny was all ears. Every time he would start to real one in he would start yelling, "get the net!! Get the net!!" he also kept us entertained by singing, " you get a line, I'll get a pole, we'll go fishin in the crocadole (craw fish hole). He was a lot of fun.
He went shopping with Ben before fishing to get a new hat and you can't see the front but it says Fish R Die. You can kind of see it better in the nest picture.
Of course we had to start the day off with a big breakfast! It didn't stop Johnny from being "so hungry he could eat the whole outer space" though later on the boat.

Wow!!! This is one of Johnny's BIG catches. He caught two of the largest fish, one for each day.

Ory going down the big slide



This is for Kenna and her family that came to visit. We went to the park with her little niece and Kenna pushed Ory down the small slide and we have since upgraded to the big one. She loves it! Thanks guys, we have fun :)

Ory

We started out with all the intentions of having some fun in the back yard. Our tiny rectangle of grass can seem like an oasis in comparison to the dry landscape that surrounds us.

But all to soon Ory wears herself out and can't help but dose off to sleep. She is so sweet.

Tiny Jimmy

It's a tiny Jimmy Buffett! He came to California and we got to go to his concert. It was out doors and awesome. As you can see we didn't have the best seats, but we had a grand time anyways!

School




I know, I know, I am tooting my own horn here, but this class was probably the hardest I have had thus far and I managed with all my very hard work (which Ben can attest to) to get a 102.5 out of a 100 on my final. (there were three extra credit questions) I think this teacher couldn't bare to give anyone a perfect score but I will take my 102.5! I still have a 4.0 and hope to keep it there. I am taking a much needed summer off so we can travel up to Oregon and Utah for the family reunion. Ok ok enough with that. Thanks for listening :)
