Flip Flop Birthday Cupcakes!

Sapphire: For Goosie Girl's birthday, we had a Flip-Flop, Beach, theme. For little treats we got the idea of using Nutty Butters as little flip-flop cookies from Pintrest. Hair Stylist piped some frosting on them and decorated it with fun sprinkles.

For the cupcakes, I made a classic Chocolate Cupcake using the best recipe that I have ever found for chocolate cupcakes. It is actually from a vegan blog, but they are awesome. Moist, rich, and flavorful, I topped these off with a fresh strawberry jam frosting. ( Here is the link to the cupcake recipe- http://chefchloe.com/sweets/chocolate-strawberry-shortcake-cupcakes.html

Tapper helped dip the frosted cupcakes in crushed up graham crackers( to make it look like a beach on the top) And then we stuck in these little umbrellas. You know when you go to the beach, there's lots of umbrella's!!!!

Here's a picture of what my frosting looked like. As you can see in the corner, I have my graham cracker crumbs all ready to go. I'll post some more pictures of her birthday, so stay tuned!!!!!

Presenting The Beautiful Miss. Goosie Girl!

Sapphire: Little Goosie Girl and I were playing when I thought that it would be fun to do a photo-shoot of her.  Here are some of my favorites from that afternoon.

 I thought she looked like a little Spanish girl with the flowers in her hair like that( by the way her hair style is the compliments of Hair Stylist)

Weekly Random Pictures.

 Here are some pictures of some of the things we were up to this past week. Tapper was doing a painting project with the little ones, and decided to do some face painting.

 The Cherry Cheek.....

 and this Watermelon were some of the many things that Tapper painted on them.

 We are all enjoying strawberry season. We picked 50 pounds and enjoyed chocolate covered strawberries,  freezing berries for later jam purposes,and strawberry short-cake.

 MMMMmmmmmmm.......

I was inside cleaning when I looked out and saw all of the kids dressed up and playing. I don't recall what they were playing but they all looked great.

Oh yeah.... Hair Stylist and I want to also wish you all a Happy 4th of July! We hope you all enjoyed a fun filled summer day!
