Orangie Cream Cuppy Cakes

I bake so seldom I thought this batch of cupcakes deserved a post. This cupcake recipe has been rolling around in my head for awhile and I couldn't resist it any  longer.

While mixing up the batter, I substituted orange soda for the water and oil the box called for.

Then I frosted them with cream cheese frosting.

I think this recipe is a win!

Buried Treasure

I'm sure most of you know (because I've complained to every single person I talk to lately) about the GREAT AND TERRIBLE PICTURE PROJECT that is going on at our house. The attempt to rescue 15 years of pictures that where languishing in Rubbermaid in the garage is taking a very long time to complete.

But it is not with out it's moments of surprised and joy as I come across forgotten but love pictures from the past. Here are a few of my favorites.

First, there are pictures from our trip out the the Sun Tunnels.

This is one of my all time favorite family adventures.

Here are my all time favorite pictures of my boys.

Perrin at Randy and Laura's wedding.

And my favorite pictures of the Jeep, for which this blog was once named.

Here are some shots of our build.

This is my Auntie K, who loves me enough to drive in from California and spend 5 sweltering days wiring my house.

This is the crane lifting our trusses onto our walls

Building garage shelves

And some of the strange and amazing places life with Shane has taken me.
