School Starts!

We have been so busy around here. School started last week and here is their 1st day of school picture.
2nd grade,4th grade, 6th grade and a freshman! who would have thought.

4 Kids on 5 soccer teams, that keeps us really busy too.



I got this baby together and pinned and 1/3 quilted. Its a good thing too because I entered it into the quilt show mid Sept. Along with this one and this one.

Not Pretty

Not Pretty but certainly Yummy! This cake is the first thing I made from a new cook book that a friend gave me. Gluten Free baking classics by Annalise G. Roberts

This is a lemon Layer cake with butter cream frosting. I love to bake but the problem is that I won't let it go to waste and I eat it all. I will leave it out today while I am at work and maybe the kids will eat it. DH can look at it all day and not even be tempted. Hummm something I aspire to.


Here are those pointy Geese. I am liking them better and better. I think I am going for shock factor in the quilt show. The application deadline is the end of the month so I better get going.

Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk

This week we took a little trip to Santa Cruz. Fun was had by all. Just a little nippy on the beach.


The rides are always a good time.
These boys think they are cool. Well I guess they are.

Healthy Cupcakes?

I made these grain free, sugar free coconut cupcakes. They are surprisingly delicious. I found the recipe here at a great blog.
