Tie Dye cupcakes

Bella and I made tie dye cupcakes tonight. They were super easy and cheap fun!

You use regular cake mix and separate into separate bowls and add dye. 

Bella stirring the separate colors.

You use a spoon to spoon in each color and then swirl with a tooth pick.

Mine and Bella's swirled creations.

The final result cut in half.

Bella's First Lemonade Stand

Bella has been begging me for months to open a lemonade stand. I avoided it as long as possible but she's out there right now selling lemonade. 

1st Summer Project Complete

Here's my first completed summer project. I have several others but with summer school and our vacation I haven't had time. Tackling the backyard crab grass, taking down the last wall paper in the house and painting Bella's furniture are still going to happen at some point!

Colorado

On Friday the 6th we went hiking on the Rattle Snake Trial in El Dorado Park. Everyone started out happy...

And the about half way you can tell that Bella was feeling over it. 

The continental divide. 

We're still happy

She definitely was not

Justin Bieber

I told Bella to Google what we were going to do on October 29th.
This is how she responded. I planned on videoing more, but she cut me off.

Take 2

Ok I'm going to try this again. I have a lot of summer projects so I'll document them as I do them this summer. I have several Pinterst projects that I want to complete too.
Here's my summer list:
1. Get rid of all crab grass in the yard (pic below)
2. Paint Bella's furniture
3. Pain the guest room
4. Remove the wall paper from Bella's bathroom
5.  Tile the bathroom mirror
6. Paint all of the gold door fixtures


Here was my first project for the summer. Anthony had a junk yard on the side of the shed in the backyard. We cleaned it out and now I get to decide what I want it to be.
