Birthday Party Weekend!


The kids had their birthday party this weekend! We had it at a local rec center's pool that can be rented out for parties. I would totally recommend it for a stress free party that the kids will love! Here are a few pictures...













The cakes...Christian airbrushed the side of this one for me (with food color, of course!) The design idea for this one came from a washcloth that Dylan had. He brought it to me and asked me to make his cake look like that! Hmmm...I tried my best!

And Trinity is all about the peace signs these days so her request was peace signs and smiley faces!

We had so much fun! I am now going to lay out by the pool all day...enjoy your holiday!

Busy Brays


I am not doing very well at this blogging thing am I?
hmmmm....
I have several blogs that I have started sitting in the draft pile waiting to be finished and just haven't had the time to do it.
So here is some of what we have been up to recently..
Trinity and Dylan had a Race For Education day at their school. Some of you got letters in the mail from them about this fundraiser for their school. It was a huge success and raised a lot of money that goes directly into the school. The weather was perfect!


Trinity even got Daddy out there for a lap or two...
Then they got to play!

Eva and I worked on another cake together. This one for her husband, Abe. We were celebrating his 31st birthday!
An I phone cake with a few specialized apps....the third row is a Cigar App, a Nascar app, a Beer App and a Holy Bible App. We thought the combination of these apps was pretty funny....
Birthday boy didnt want to cut the cake, which means he liked it!
We all headed over to the brand NEW theater in town!! So exciting! It is soooo nice and less expensive than the others around us. We saw Star Trek, everyone else loved it! I liked it...but I have never actually seen the show so it wasn't as cool to me I suppose. I feel asleep a few times ;)
Saturday morning I made this cake for Michael's baby bro Lance's 30th bday. It was a surprise party and a Luau theme. Mom had her house decorated very nicely, felt like we were in Hawaii!

London likes my cupcakes!
So, what are the kids up to?
Well, Christian just bought an air compressor. I really have no idea what exactly that is but I know he uses it for tools that he has for his car. He was smart and patient and found this one for a great price on Craigs list...still includes a warranty even.
What he has been using the most is the airbrush set...just practicing on stuff.

Dylan has been consumed by a book report for the last few weeks. He read To Kill A Mockingbird and had to do a 10 minute presentation along with a 3 page summary, historical content paper and timeline with pictures. He loved the book! And we had to condense his presentation because the first time through he took 22 minutes!!
Thank goodness that is over and now the fun begins (Field Day, Awards Ceremony, end of the Year parties and Summer!! Yea!)
Also, his assignment for guitar this week is to write a song. Pretty cool, huh? His teacher is the coolest.

And Trinity...is just being Trinity :)
Our little social butterfly. She is getting ready for her upcoming dance recital on June 14th. 

I am busy getting ready for the kids birthday parties this weekend..pictures of that soon!

When life hands you a rainy day(week), kick off your shoes and dance in it!

Dylan, Trinity and Cali at Grammy and Pop's house yesterday.
I absolutely love this picture that Pop's took. The kids said it was sooooo fun!

Family

Let the fun begin.....

Oh Happy Day!

So many things to be thankful for this Monday morning...my sister and her kids are coming today for the week. I am really far behind on housework, but sisters dont care!
Yesterday was Easter and we had the most amazing church service. After a few long and tiring weeks, it was so refreshing and uplifting. Bought the new worship CD the team just released and it is awesome. New music always makes me happy!
Spring is in the air! I love this weather! Cool in the mornings and warm*ish* during the day. And our yard is covered in blue bonnets! Everything is blooming...ahhhh, I love it!
And I now am the mother to two awesome teenage boys! Dylan had a birthday on Saturday!
Here are some recent pics...here is to a wonderful week for everyone!

Christian and Cali...I think Cali is getting ready to throw up some gang signs?
Dylan's cake. He was pretty specific about what he wanted. I think he was afraid that I would make it flowery? It couldnt have the number 13, just the roman numeral for 13. And he wanted as much chocolate as I could make. It has three layers, two chocolate and one cherry...and then chocolate cherry frosting, chocolate fondant and white chocolate decorations on the top and sides! Pretty chocolatey!! 
Singing Happy Birthday at Grammy's house! We are doing a party in May for both Trinity and Dylan's birthdays. They both wanted it at the same place (Its an indoor pool with a waterslide!) but that was the earliest they had open for us to rent the place. 
Easter Egg Hunt at Grammy and Pops. She hides money in those eggs as well as candy! I may need to join the hunt next year...
Look at what Cali found!
And look who we saw on our way home! One of my favorite little boys, Timothy! Riding along our road with Daddy. We raced him home, and he won...
I havent posted any cake stuff recently that I have done for other people so here are some of them....cupcakes for a wedding shower
Cupcakes for a little baseball playing Rangers fan...his cupcake is the one in the bottom left corner!
And cupcakes for one of the cutest four year olds I know!

10 minutes of your life I wont give you back

You will have to turn your speakers up. Sorry about the sound and the wind.  I am not sorry about anything else.

Georgia trip-We ♡ cousins

By Dylan
We left really early on Sunday morning. It took us about 14 hours to get there.
Kaden played basketball on Pops Iphone and kept trying to get away from me taking a picture of him.





PaPaw

Green Way Park (It was St Patricks Day so we all wore green)


The Varsity


Jumping on the Trampoline (this was our favorite part of the whole trip)
We always dress up crazy. Kaden didnt want to do it for some reason. Hazel has underwear on her face and I am wearing stretchy pants... just for fun.
Sleeping
Some Lake. It was freezing, like below 20 degrees.

Stone Mountain



Talking to our parents on Skype
Funny faces
