And Again Cupcakes

 Malt cupcake with raspberry buttercream and raspberry candy.

 Dr. Pepper cupcakes with cherry buttercream with cola candy.

We got more of the dance solar flower and bugs. The lady bug is for Emma, a butterfly is for Wyatt. They picked them by themselves. I like a bee, I think that it's cute and fit it to a flower next to it. I want them on kitchen counter so the kids won't break them. I hate when the kids break the toys. I noticed I threw away their toys because they are broke and it could harm them. Also reduced a huge pile of the toys, we used to have 2 big baskets. Now it is one basket. It is almost 1/2 full. Yay.

We went to Derek's parents' house for a mother's day. The kids were have fun time to play with their cousin and they went in a hot tub with their daddy and uncle. It's was nice to have a break from them.

Emma's Summer Crocheted Top

 Ha ha, she has a funny face. She was whine. I don't remember why she was whine.  This top is 4 size. It's almost perfect fit. Wyatt was playing Wii game. Wii motion.

Wyatt was modeling it for me while Emma was napping. Yes, she still takes her nap time. This top is perfect fit him. Of course he is 4. I like the way Wyatt's hands point out like a model on running table. He loves to do that when I need his model for the kids' clothes.

Cupcakes

 Red Velvet

 Cinnamon Swirl

Classic Vanilla




I was experimenting for 2 weeks. I am trying (am still trying) to find the perfect flavor cake for us. I don't like the store's cake. I don't like standard cake. I like many different kind of flavors. I added my bookmark of 'your cup of cupcake' It is www.yourcupofcake.com. I addicted her. I will make the cake from her time to time. :) Temptation Cupcake on 1000 north on main street is freaky delicious. I couldn't stop it.

Too Busy Days

 We bought a new storm door from Lowe's. At first, I hate that because I grew up with it at my parent's house. I changed from my hard heart to soft heart about this door. Because my living room's window doesn't have a screen window to open to let the fresh breezy cool air in the house. Exchange the window is cost more money than the door. I am happy with a door. I got it for $114 with 10% off coupon from $119, it was regular price: $140. Good sale day shopping. :) I like this kind of a door because it's good for the kids. The screen is on top of door. I can change it onto the bottom of a door. I prefer a screen on top to prevent the kids from pushing the screen off from a door. Plus it has a key to unlock/lock door. Nice. It's fit good. White color match our house styled. My friend, Lisa helped with us. Derek had to go to his work, he was working double shifts that day. Sometimes I hate him do that, the kids are grumpy, and out of control. It was messy our routine schedule. Not easy, most overwhelmed for me. Whew. Bed time is my best quiet and rest time.  

 Ha ha. Guess who was behind the camera? Yeah, it was Wyatt! But it was a good shot of Emma. I was behind of Derek.

Yay! We finally got the bikes for the kids. I was extremely nervous about buying the bikes because they are growing up so fast and the bikes someday will wont be fit for them. Also I hate to train them to learn how to do. I hate to see them fall off many times. We bikes inside of the garage door because it was so bad raining like the wild cat and dog outside. Dear rain, thank you for water my grass and flowers. Save my money for water bill. I always love rain in the spring to save some of my money and time.

Outside Of Our House

 Aww, She was tired. She was sleeping while we were working on our backyard.

 Wyatt love to hold the worms. Yikes.

 Mommy and Wyatt. I was cleaning the bad grass on our left side of house.

 Wyatt, Emma and Natalie from neighbor.

 I finally planted my flowers on my front pouch by the stairs. I like the red pots to match our house color.

 I bought the new water hose and new hose basket. I bought an extra water hose because we need a long hose.

We decided to buy the swing sets for our backyard. The kids are happy. I am grateful that afternoon is cooler because my backyard is facing east and the sun is facing west.

We cleaned the lawn and front/back yards. A lot of works. The kids wanted to play with the water, so they went and got wet. I was pulled the devil weeds. Derek was trimmer and mowing the grass. It is so wonderful outside. 80 degree. Perfect. Exhausted now, but we are happy now.

Diane's Baby Blanket

 This is Vikna motif. I want something is quickly and easy to remember.

 I love the visual crochet draw. I can read it instead in the words. I understand the words perfect well, sometimes I am tired or not in a mood to read the words. I love it.

 This is Cluster Picot Edging. I wanted the looking lace and match the blanket motif. The edging is excellent choice.

 I was using this book to make a baby blanket. I was not in a mood to crochet a long slow blanket. The motifs are quickly. I love it.

Done. I finished it at park today while the kids were playing, so I can focus on it. I like the look. So pretty lace blanket. I am happy with my choice of the motifs. It was difficult for me to decided which one of these motif in a book. I crocheted 5 square motifs one row and 5 square motifs one row down. So it is 5x5 motifs. I used baby yarn #3 and hook #9US 5.5mm.

Now I need to go back and work on my another knitting a baby blanket. I need to get it done soon because I realized that May is coming. I feel like I am in February. Also I was realizing that Derek's birthday is next month too. I was planning to buy him a huge box full of the tools. I was like there is plenty of time to do that and I was wrong. It's already April. Oh my. Time is went too fast than I blink.

Vanilla Bean Cupcakes

I wanted to make homemade cupcakes than bought from the stores. I don't really like the store's cupcake because it is different way to make than at home make. Next time, I will use a whole egg instead a white egg. It's taste almost like an angel cake because it is fluffy. But it's good thorough. The kids love to eat the buttercream frosting. I also homemade buttercream. I used a ziploc bag to frost the cakes.

Wii

When I saw this at Walmart. I want instantly it when I was in Walmart. Wyatt and Emma have been playing wii game. Wyatt know how to play the games on wii. Emma was just including with Wyatt. I have been exchanging the batteries for every 2 weeks. I hate to spend so much money for batteries. This is charger for wii remote with wireless battery inside that came with the charger box. I was relieved. I don't have to worry about the battery. Isn't that nice thing to have it? Also we are member of Netflix and HuluPlus on wii too. It's nice that the remote rest and charger during all night then they will be ready to play in the morning.

Today, we bought a playground outside for our backyard so the kids can play. We got it from Walmart. I looked at KSL classified, DI, and garage yard sale. No luck. So we decided go ahead and get it. We are thinking about to keep it so my grand kids can play in someday. We can put down and storage in my basement when the kids are older. We will see about it later. It has slide, 2 swings, and seesaw swing. We want to buy patio deck table with an umbrella and comfortable chairs. Some day we will.

Snowflake Motif for Bowl

I wanted to made this, because my kitchen's counter has been scratch from the bottom of a bowl. So I made a snowflake motif to protect my counter from scratching. It made me felt better than being worry about it. Yes, I made a bowl back in high school. I took a clay class. It was fun. I used a bowl for my master bedroom's knob key, coins, candy, and Derek's wallet.
