Cupcake Saturday and A Hootenanny

It was a busy, hot afternoon of baking and frosting. It started with
good old game of hide and seek for our friends to find us... sorry
about the tour you had to take to find the kitchen!
Saucy
walked us through how to make Camo-Cupcakes and
Red Velvet Elvis Cupcakes for Father's Day.
Thank you Saucy for ALL your planning, prepping, and
hosting this great event for us!

Look how great they turned out!

CJ was thrilled to give them to Dad!

Look at the sweet card from Karen. She must have designed it to look great
with the Red Velvet Elvis cupcakes!
She is one crafty lady!!
Thank you!
(Leave me a comment so I can link back to you!)

I must admit that I was running things a little Commando there for a bit,
trying to hurry us along. Sorry ladies! You did a great job and it was nice to meet you!

I had to run off to take CJ to her final guitar lesson... a Hootenanny!
CJ's instructor Duane and his family hosted a campfire sing-a-long for all this year's students and their families. The girls had so much fun and CJ is planning what we'll be singing when we go camping! (Yes, camping Saucy!!)

It was a fun, busy, good day!!

Little Guitar

Yay! It finally worked out! We have been trying since July to get CJ started in her Little Guitar class. We found a great teacher (Duane) who with the help of his daughter teach little kids how to play the "little guitar". They start on the ukelele which is a perfect size for their little hands and bodies. CJ picked out a cute sparkly purple ukelele to start on because Hannah Montana has a purple one! Of course!! After her first class she got in the van and said, "I love it! I could stay all day and do that!" SUCCESS! I'm so glad that her first music lessons were such a fun, positive experience and something she wants to continue!
