A beer cake

I commissioned a beer cake for Brock's birthday made by his sister, Tiffany (she made our wedding cake as well). I was so pleased by how it turned out! After we got back from Deadwood, we had a birthday get-to-gether with our friends and family. We had a blast eating pizza and playing games!























The final product!




Us girls modeling the cake....we're contemplating becoming professionals.




He was very surprised and loved it!








It was delicious!

Brock's Birthday in Deadwood

I know this was almost a month ago, but I've been terribly busy with school and have zero time to keep up on this thing! Well, enjoy photos from a month ago :-)



Spent the night in Sundance Friday, then headed to Deadwood, S.D. Saturday. Joe took us out to the bars at 12:01 so Brock could enjoy his first drink.




Playing some pool and enjoying some popcorn.




Taking the trolly into the heart of Deadwood!




Our trolly companion :-)




Where most of our time was spent....




Erica and I enjoying the nightlife.




Where Brock and Joe spent most of their time....and money!




Singing some karaoke!




"I've got friends in low places!"








Friends!









Trevor keeping the birthday boy company.




Some yummy cupcakes from Erica....a great 3:00 am snack :-)

"Where's dad?"





"This way?"





"Maybe he's over here?"





"Oh I give up!"

The Adventures of Fixing a Windmill...Step by Step by Step...

First the cow gets thirsty

This one was very impressed by me







From the cows perspective








Then you notice that there's not enough water coming out of the ol' pipe there







Yep, definetly no water being pumped







The hubby calling for backup because he broke something off of the certain doo hicky that connects to the pump thingy

The only part I remember from this phone conversation was that he needed a "male part"

Then I was explained the birds and the bees of windmills :-)







Busy pulling the long part of the windmill out of the ground to investigate what ranchers call "leathers"

This ended up being the culprit of today's adventure







And there they are......worn out leathers







Overview of the problem







New leathers are like brand spanking new shoes to girls

Although leathers can last up to a year and I don't know about you girls but I sure can't go that long without buying a new pair of shoes??????







I decided I should make an appearance on this blog every once in awhile

Hi family!!!!!!

(Yeah, that's me in the lens. Just in case. I worry people don't "get" me sometimes)







Looks like I need to do a little patch work on those jeans hmm Brock??







And help arrives with the "male part"

Yeah, I don't understand it either








And because I can

Here's a picture of our adorable dog

He's at the stage now where he does nothing but sleep all day

LOVE IT!
