Playing Outside

We've been having some really nice days here. I took the kids outside a couple times last week. I got a few pictures of them.



















Chris loves to sit on our back steps.































Rick found that hard hat in Huntington Park. Someone lost it off of a ship. It has the name of the ship scraped into it. Rick thought it was cool, so we brought it home. The kids love to play with it.

I put Chris in the little bear harness(it's like a backpack with a leash), and we took a walk. Chris stopped every few seconds to exclaim over birds and the sky and everything else he could see. It was so cute.

Rick had duty this weekend, so we didn't get to go to church. When Rick got home, we went over to Boardman's house. We had church and a snack afterwards. We really appreciate the fellowship we have. I don't know what we'd do without them.

Summer is right around the corner. I plan to enjoy it with my family. There will be plenty of pictures. I'll try to post more often.

Cakes

Last Saturday, I made a marble cake and decorated it. This is only the second one I've really decorated. It was a "Happy Spring" cake. I just bought a decorators bag and tips and wanted to try them out. I used shortening icing to decorate with. I enjoyed every minute of it.

Here's what it looked like.
