A birthday celebration of Cupcake Challenges, ATVing and Bowling..with a little quilting in the mix!

A fun party for Seanie last night with friends and family.  Kevin and Amanda created scruptious cupcakes from scratch and Sean gave them a run for their money in our "BIRTHDAY CUPCAKE CHALLENGE".  Fun fun.  Amanda and I sat near the pond under the stars holding babies and chatting, so nice!

Saw an emu on the way to our ATV trail running down the road but no ducks until Sean got creative...

The boys at bowling night before.  Something very fun about glow in the dark bowling and Big Hair 80's bands serenading us.


10 minutes from our home and we found a secret... ATV trail up into the refreshing mountains that would lead us to believe that we do not live in a hot desert.  So gorgeous and lovely picnic spot!  Kids of all ages and pups had so much fun in the stream.

Color color color.  When I saw these 2 photos next to one another I noticed they both have movement in their coloring...

Off to the lake and then a sad good-bye as Seanie venture home up north...

I love the dog in the back of the ATV.

I rediscovered a cool, soothing place near my home this weekend, too. Took the dog for a walk there twice in 3 days. It's great to find places to love close to home.
