Camping at Mackay Reservoir

We had so much fun camping up in Mackay! It was a drive but so worth it! Thanks Buffats for inviting us along and showing us the beauty of this place!

We went swimming in the reservoir and we each kept our shoes on...Steve forgot to put sunscreen on his feet underneath the crocs he was wearing...this was the result...polka dot feet :)

Our little visitor...Nathaniel was yelling "Theres a skunk...theres a skunk..." We didn't think he was serious! Then we saw it...What an adventure! Steve went down the bank to warn the older men that were fishing just down from us that a skunk was on its way...the one guy had a brace on his leg...and he told Steve that a skunk had snuck up behind him the other day on a dock while he was fishing and he jumped in the lake to get away and broke his leg in the process...he was needless to say a little jumpy about another skunk heading his way.





We have had a lot of thunderstorms pass us by in the past few days and I happened to look out and see the amazing sky!









Baby shower gifts

I went to a double baby shower the other day...I was trying to come up with a simple yet fun gift...I decided on sewing some blankets. You can never have enough blankets with a baby! I found the cutest fabric and in my opinion...that made the blankets that much cuter! I love sewing and love getting better as I do it! It is a joy to make things for others!





Pudding filled cupcakes!

SO YUMMY!!!
I got this cupcake tin that comes with an attachment that leaves a hole in the cupcakes while they bake...makes filling them a snap! These were my first attempt...turned out oh so good!
