Using Daddy's knee.
Over and under.
We're you guessed it.....a party of five. There's DH, myself and 3 beautiful and a little bit crazy children. Hey no one said they don't come by it honestly.
Using Daddy's knee.
Over and under.
I bet J is happy he got his wish and she came on the weekend. Unfortunally not soon enough so he wouldn't have to miss work tomorrow. OPPS.
Here are the proud parents! (Sorry pics are from a cell phone and I'm still waiting on the nice cleaned up cute ones LOL)
Although he acted like a typical old man in the water. He wouldn't go any farther then here. Molly, the golden lab friend he made, was 9 (63) as well and she out swam him like crazy. Guess he didn't want to get his tail wet. Vain boy.
After the tire swing fun the kids were thirsty.
While Little Man and Chef fished Monkey and Princess played in the water and sand (read mud).
Dinner guests are welcome as well. Only I wish this one had used his silverware instead of is hands. Oh well I guess it's okay we're camping you know.
Our casa is your casa!
or were we. While I put together a snack for the kiddos (and me I was famished) and Chef ran down to grab some wood for the fire later on I had a couple vistor's. They said the campsite was thiers and they had already set up thier tent. (Did you see a tent in that first pic? Well of course not cause there isn't one....oh wait it's WAY up in the rocks off to the left of that pic. I had no idea it was with this site - there are sites all over) So they rush down to meet Chef at the reservation office. Nope sorry the site is ours.
See this couple failed to place thier permit in the handy dandy little site marker and the Ranger assumed it was available and gave it to us. Well so now it's ours (good thing since we were ALL set up by this time - we had been there 2 hours) but they were nice and found another location for the other couple. (btw - our site was better - they had no rocks or tree's on thier new site - shhh)
Shift all of the dry ingrediants together. Stir in the oil and adding one egg at a time mix well. Add in the carrots, nuts and vanilla and mix. Here it is....doesn't it look yummy. Well it obviously can't cook in this so...
"Hello lover. What do you have for me today?" I like to use this naughty little bunt pan for my carrot cake. It makes it look pretty and all fancy like. LOL We're all about fancy around here.
Much better. Now we can get cooking. At 350 degrees for about 60mins folks.
Oh man the poor bowl is feeling lonely now. Good thing I can resue her for the frosting later today.
Toss them together and mix well. (I use a glove to sqwish it all together cause a spoon ain't cutting it) Here you have it. Makes a lot I tell you.
Slap that sucker on top of the cool carrot cake (I have done it while still warm before - it just makes the frosting nice and runny - which is all good too) Chef and I don't do sweets all that much so thats why there doesn't seem to be a ton of frosting on the cake - there isn't and it's okay if you're into that you can add more. Sprinkled some of the extra carrots on top.
Look at that baby. YUM!
Well off to celebrate Chef's bday with him. Have a great Friday y'all.
