Crank It Up!!

We recently got back from a trip in Lubbock where we went to a Transformation Conference at Church on the Rock. This was good stuff people...if you haven't already done Transformation...GET YOUR HANDS ON IT....it's really, really gonna change your life!!

Anyway, at this conference I got the privilege to work with the COTR sound/media team. They were a TOTALLY awesome group to work with! Anyway, back on topic...the sound guy, Robby, is always on the look out for new bands, bands not so widely known etc etc. Robby introduced us to the Parachute Band....THEY ROCK GUYS!! If you look it up on youtube, google etc...there are 2 Parachute Bands...one was the original band...the newer band is younger with a more "rock" type style, but very very good!!

Their lyrics are so pure and so true...just what I want to hear and CRANK IT UP! Take a listen to their song, Come to the River! It's such a catchy song with GREAT lyrics. I'm sure you will enjoy it as much as I did. Travis and I will be putting these songs on our playlist...how about you???









Have a fantastic day in the river!!

New Adventures

Don't you love when you take on new adventures in life??!! I've always wanted to decorate cakes...not just throw some icing on them...I'm talking really decorate some cakes. The other day I found the Wilton Course handbooks ON CLEARANCE!! Clearance...my absolute FAVORITE!! Anyway, I took some time and read through the books, started practicing and tonight made my first offical cake using real decorating methods!

My niece turns four on Mother's Day...so her party is gonna be tomorrow. She asked for a Strawberry Shortcake party and I just so happened to have a Strawberry Shortcake pan from when I was little, so I volunteered to make the cake. It took a long time, but here's the final product!





I hope to make many more cakes in the future and get better and better!!

Well, I was sent the following cartoon and it's soooooo true! Hope you enjoy it!!

A mom's life....new method to work out!








Have a happy day!!
