Shane and the boys climbing the water tower.
Posing on a cedar bench.
Look close. Nate had to climb to the top to see the "waterfall."
Quincy and Nate pause on the path.
The boys reluctantly pose in front of one of the gardens. They had the sun in their eyes. They were not happy this day as we went to the Austin Wine Festival after we left the gardens.

Quincy's Birthday

Quincy blows out all seven of his candles on his speed racer cake! (I do feed him.)

School Reading Awards

Shane's block leave was during the last week of school. The boys missed the big award ceremony (Quincy won an award for his grade in reading) but they were here for the school reading program awards.
Win recieves his award while I give him his medal.
Nate helps to cheer on the PreK students.
Quincy gets his award while I give him his medal.

Win's school field trip.

Win's class took a trip to a nearby berry farm to pick strawberries. Here he gets to know one of the goats.

Recent Cakes

Ok. My family has informed me that I am VERY far behind on our family webpage. Things have been really busy. The doctor cleared me after my back surgery and I have been outside working in the yard every nice moment I can. Shane's first surgery on his kidney stones was not successful so he had to have another. (Taking care of a husband in pain is not really fun!) I will try to catch up.

Dora birthday cake for my niece Lauryn.
Baby shower cake for my sister, Jamie. She has a frog theme and had twin baby girls.
