Adventures In Cake Decorating

Josh had his Eagle Court of Honor this past weekend and I am going to post all the pictures once I have them all, but for now, these are the cakes I made and decorated for the other 5 boys who also got their Eagles that night. I let each boy choose what flavor cake he wanted and how he wanted it decorated. MaryAnn made Josh's cake. Vance's sister helped me. I made all the cakes at home in Taylor and froze them. Then took them down to Gilbert where I had one day to frost and decorate them. I couldn't have done it without Monica's help!

Roosevelt Lake Tubing with Friends

Early in the summer we took the boat to Roosevelt Lake and let the boys invite friends to come with us. Josh brought his friend, Brian Hanlin and Layton brought Coy Owens. I took the picture below because I thought it was funny they both had the same swim suit. Totally unplanned.

My boys are very tall for their age. Both their friends are shorter than they are but both their friends are also older than they are. I don't know how my kids got to be so big!

 

I don't know what it is about the water, but I can't get enough of it. Any time Vance has had a day off or the kids have a school break, my instant thought is, "Let's go to the lake!" This trip to Roosevelt is the only time we went all summer. We tried to make time to go more but life was crazy busy this summer. We got to do other fun things that kept us closer to home, but all I wanted was to be near the water! I have dreams all the time about being in Rocky Point and about floating down the Salt River. I even dream about swimming in our old pool. I think I'm definitely a water girl!
