It's Been A While



my sisters birthday cupcakes

(cycle 10, day 24, 7 dpo)

i'm getting terrible at updating, lol.

not much has gone on, well actually that's a lie, its been very busy lately, lol.



first we had my sister's bday supper, just the 4 of us and my mom. i made cupcakes with my cousin Hanna that weekend and got to try out fondant. i mostly did it so i could try it out for when i do my mom's cake this week. that stuff is awesome! it tastes so yummy, just a very thick version of buttercream icing. but i think when i do my moms cake, i might need to make it a bit thicker cuz it was pretty flimsy on my first attempt.

canada day weekend we went to my aunt and uncles cabin on Jackfish Lake, Sask. it was nice to get away for the weekend and do some "camping" (we slept in our tent and brought some of our own food, but still had the comforts of home because of their cabin, hehe) with HayHay for the first time. i felt bad for our pup because she was 'locked up' in her pen most of the weekend or on a leash, but she's never had so many walks in a 3 day period, lol. hubby did some fishing and got an awesome pic with my cousins after he caught it. the boys went out sunday morning for some fishing and came back with 3 fish for lunch. i wasn't a very big fish person bef ore because my mom hates the smell and i've never really  been around it, but this fish was great! we also did  some tubing on the seadoo which was fun even though i was only in the tube once. otherwise i was a spotter for my uncle which is still fun to do but man were my arms sore from holding on for those two days, haha. we headed home on the sunday around supper time after a full day and we were exhausted, especially HayHay. she slept the entire way home and pretty much until we got home from work the next day.

since that weekend, its been a little less busy, not much, but a little. now we're in full planning/prep mode for my moms bday party this weekend. we've got most the supplies except the buns for burgers/hotdogs and cheese. i'll be glad with this over because a certain family member has kind of ruined it for me and my sister. i'm not planning another family bday again that's for sure. only for sean and my future kids. this week i still have to bake and decorate the cake (which i can't wait to do) and then help my aunt set up saturday morning. i'm looking forward to next week when we won't be so busy....
