Fourth of July Pops

Happy Independence Day everyone!!!
I hope everyone else can enjoy fireworks for us here in Colorado, as we have bans due to such hot and dry weather. Spending time with family and eating are more important than fireworks anyways. :)
Hope you enjoy my festive cake pop pics!




I used a small star cookie cutter to mold the pops!




I then had way too much fun decorating them in fun colors, sprinkles, and sparkles!




Crappy iPhone pic, I apologize.

They were so cute that I didn't want to eat them! But they definitely went faaassssttt!

Cupcake Cake Ball Bites

So, I caved and bought Bakerella's book Cake Pops for some fun ideas. I found the cupcake cake pops and reaaallllyyy wanted to try them. They looked so stinkin adorable. I already had some frozen {cake} balls leftover from my niece's birthday party. So I thought, what the heck, they need to be eaten. Here is how they ended up looking.

Monkey Birthday Party

Oh how the time has flown by. My niece turned two this May. It seems like yesterday when we were planning her bumblebee first birthday party! Sheesh!!

This year we did a pink, green, and yellow monkey theme. It definitely took less time {and money} than the bumblebee theme. It turned out pretty darn cute if I might say so myself! Here are a few pics/ideas from the party!

Spring Has Arrived!

Well, with the weather we've been having for the past month or more, it's been spring since the end of March or beginning of April. This last weekend was dedicated to working in the yard and planting flowers. I just love it when everything starts turning green and the flowers start blooming.
Here are a few pictures of the yard and also some projects that I worked on this weekend.


I love the orange poppies!!! I wish they would bloom a lot longer. From far away they look like orange tissue paper flowers.



Lots and lots of planting flowers. I'm excited to see what all the pots look like once the flowers are lush and full and blooming.




Pots and flowers, pots and flowers, pots and flowers. :) :)
Happy Springtime everyone!
