Weekend with Grandma, Papa, and Cousins

Grandma & Papa with all the kiddos

We had a fun weekend, it went by so fast. My parents came over to spend sometime with my brother and sister-in-laws kids, while they spent a fun weekend down in Vegas. We had a full house for a couple of days, but it was so much fun. Started the weekend watching Ratatouille (which I think is so cute), good thing I have already seen the movie as I, yes, fell asleep only after 5 minutes into the movie. Ya I know I am such a great host. Saturday was spent going on Geo-caches, playing at the park, making cupcakes, and enjoying the great weather. Karlee had so much fun. She loves to play with all her cousins, she just looks at them with such excitement in her eyes. Her cousins (Abbey, Austin, and Taylor) all had fun carrying her up and down the hallway. Karlee thought this was just great - she seemed to have a smile on her face the whole day.

One thing about my mom is that she loves books, she bought a fun book a couple of weeks ago called. Hello, Cupcake! - What a fun book to look through. This weekend we decided to make cupcakes and decorate them like in the book. We did pretty darn good, if you ask me. We made 2 different kinds - Owls and Penguins. I took pictures of the penguin, but apparently didn't take one of the owls, so I found a replica. Now aren't these just the cutest. So so fun.
