Happy Father's Day!!!!

 Mackenzie wanted to make her dad cupcakes for Father's Day...so she was up early to get it done

      She even made buttercream frosting and put it in a zip bag to frost the cupcakes.

                    She decided to call them spaghetti cupcakes because of the way the frosting looked.

                                 We are spending the WHOLE day outside in the pool and later Mitch is going to grill steaks and we will have salad and baked beans and of course, Mackenzie's cupcakes!

      Snuggles may have a new home, but her love for hanging out in the bathroom sink hasn't changed!  We didn't see her for nearly a whole day after we moved.  She was hiding up in Mackenzie's closet on a shelf...she is anything but snuggly!

                                                        My little fishy's......

                               A nice shot of the waterfall......
                                     
                                                  It's been a great Father's Day!

Swimming in our new pool

                             Since we got the keys, we just had to take a dip :)

                                 The kids showed off their swim skills...they know we have strict swim rules NO ONE IN THE POOL WITHOUT AN ADULT OUTSIDE.  We have rented a uhaul for this weekend...

Karate and friends

 Mackenzie and Corie have been friends since kindergarten.  We are good friends with Corie's parents.  Corie will also be going to a new school next year.  Tomorrow is the last day of school and I know they are both sad and excited at the same time.

        Tonight was awards night in karate and also a chance for the students to show their parents all they have been taught by their Sensi. 

                              He is listening to every word Sensi says...he never listens like that at home :)

    Sensi Sean is great!  He truly has a passion for what he does and loves the kids...Marcus will actually get to continue with Sensi Sean.  He offers classes close to where we are moving.

                   Marcus received his Blue Belt and a patch for his extra hard work!  Way to go Marcus!

                              Mackenzie and Corie were looking through their yearbook...

                            This is our new home...we will close on the house June 4th.

                      Hope we can keep the backyard this pretty!

     Marcus had his Cub Scout banquet last weekend...sorry I am behind on posting...it's been a crazy week.

                  He will now begin working on becoming a Bear Cub..

                               And he just completed being a Wolf Cub.......

                             We are so proud of our little Scout :)

Can't we just all get along?

             It would be so nice if our pets could live in harmony all the time..

                       I made some salsa...today I think we are going to snack on chips and salsa and have a couple margarita's :)

More Easter pics

                          The Easter bunny dropped by and left baskets for the kids...do you see the chicken?  Remember how they drop the eggs out....I loved that one when I was a kid!

                                                The Easter Feast!

                            A perfectly smoked ham by Mitch :)

                        Marcus couldn't wait for the hunt!  All the eggs were full of money...mostly coins, but some $1 bills and $5 bills....it would have been a fight to the death over the cash, but I marked those so it would stay even...

                              Even Copper helped look for hidden eggs!

                       He seems rather serious in this shot, but the sun was bright..as you can see he is still sporting the goatee...for me :)

                                                 It was a nice Easter day!  :)
