key lime cupcakes

Experimented this weekend - made these key lime coconut cupcakes with key lime frosting. I wish I wrote it down. mmmm mmmm tasty delicious....I had two - um, Saturday, and one Sunday. I won't tell how many R had...

Here's the frosting recipe, though. I did write that down once I got what I liked. And then I rolled the tops in more coconut. They were very tropical. Kind of like we were on vacation. sort of.

1/2 c butter
4 c confec sugar
2 T key lime juice
2 T milk
2 t grated key lime peel

spring wall art

Quick and easy project I did recently. The paper I had been saving for a long time, b/c I thought was way too pretty to cut up. Perfect for a little girl's nursery! (hahhahahaha! - we all know very well we will never have any little girls around here. just boys. lots of loud, smelly boys. :)

hello, spring.

Last year we - and I mean me - totally redid our backyard. Got rid of the desert landscaping and planted a ton of new plants. Well, I wanted to grow my own lavender for sachets and lavender cupcakes, so I planted a little bitty plant and thought it was dead most of the year. A few days ago, I went outside and saw these lavender blossoms. It's huge!

Love Machine

Such a loving boy. We are so lucky. He is pretty rough, though- lately he's been pulling on the back of our heads and mashing his lips into ours. You have to watch out if you're watching TV or something - he'll love attack you. Seriously.

Vintage Baseball

Robert's vintage baseball league. They wear the uniforms and play the rules of the game from the 1800-somethings. It's actually a pretty cool thing he does. He gets exercise and H gets to watch Daddy play ball. I'm sure he really appreciates this photo from the last time he played. (No, neither of the guys in the top photo are Robert.)

What to do when your show is preemted for the Oscars?

I made this little album last night because Desperate Housewives wasn't on! Yes, the show is getting a little boring - but now that we know Edie is getting killed off, you know you have to watch it! (and we all know it's her crazy husband) Hmmm...and I make fun of my mom for her crazy-plot Lifetime movies.

It took me about an hour to do, just found some super old scraps at the waaaay bottom of my needs-to-be-cleaned-out scrap box. Used some leftover chipboard circles and found a chain on the tag of some Victoria Secret yoga pants Robert got me.
