Oh my gosh, look who is 6 years old!!

I can't believe it! My baby girl is 6 years old today! Happy and proud of course but missing those baby days:)
Here is a shot of her at school. The class had just returned from recess, can you tell by the hair? LOL. Isabel wanted to take cupcakes on her birthday. I have a love/hate relationship with cupcakes, lol.
I am determined to master this thing, even if it makes me crazy!
I made them for my son's birthday and followed a completely homemade recipe from Martha Stewart, well they tasted awesome but looked like he!!.
My bug decorated cupcakes looked nothing like hers. I was so mad.
So this time, for Isabel's birthday I decided to make a recipe for iciing and use those fancy decorating tips, well that would have been great if the iciing would have actually been thick.
It almost drained right through the decorating bag, lol. Not the thickness that I had hoped for at all but at least it stayed on the cupcake.
So I will be making alot of cupcakes, trying to get the consistency of the iciing right. Crazed and determined, lol. I mean come on, these tiny things can't be that difficult, right?? :)
We will be going somewhere super fun this weekend to celebrate her birthday more. She is not sure where she wants to go yet so I will let you know soon:)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ISABEL!

Oh boy, I don't know if I can think of 7 interesting things about me. lol. I will give it a shot though!

1. DH and I lived in a motorhome/travel trailer for several years in our early 20's before kiddos. We mainly worked on the beach in Seaside and Grayton Beach, Florida, waiting tables. We would work from Memorial Day to Labor Day and then vacation the rest of the year. It was so free and such a blast:)
2. Waited to start attempting to have kids until I was 30.
3. Am a reality show junkie! Big Brother, Survivor, Project Runway, Flavor Flav (lol), Amazing Race, Rock of Love, you name it, I most of the time am recording it for late evening viewing. :)
4. Chocoholic! Anything chocolate, must have chocolate something at least once a day!
5. Was a medical transcriptionist until I had Jack, who is now 8 years old.
6. Grew up in the country in Illinois, my dad raised English setters and still does, we had horses and pigeons, the town was a population of 500 at the time! My high school was in the middle of a cornfield! Made for easy escapes when bored! lol.
7. Secret crushes include: Joaquin Phoenix, wildman Dave Navarro and my doctor! LOL.
