Trooper Cake






The older Maebelle gets, the more pictures there are of me. : )

We were gifted some cake mix by Zac's grandma Trefz.






The kids wanted to make the cake fun. So we decided to do half chocolate frosting and half funfetti frosting! Chocolate for dirt (or maybe mud, I can't remember) and the orangish color for sand.






Then Orion wanted to add Legos.






So he made a kammatrooper scene for us to enjoy before we enjoyed the cake and they took pictures. They had so much fun with it! So thankful for the easy things that please them!












I don't seem to get my camera out enough these days. So dinner on a random evening sounds like a good time. We changed the lights in our dining room and they have almost a spotlight feel to them. 


















Then a few day later I was able to get the camera out for an evening of fun. These next few are from the beginning of that evening.






This puppy is getting so big! And this was even a few weeks ago on September 4, I think he's grown since then!






For perspective, Here he is on June 27 in a very similar pose and place:






So at the beginning of September, his head is about up to the tabletop when sitting down. At the end of June, his head was about to the seat of the chair. And I'm pretty sure that, at 5 months old, he's not even close to done growing yet.

My three sweeties:












Orion doing his bow staff again, and always.






I love this family!

Flowers, Puppy and Bow Staff






I love these hibiscus. Zac bought them on super sale a while back and they have produced many blooms. I think all the rain we have had lately is keeping them going strong.









Look how much he's grown!






Unfortunately, I didn't take many pictures in the month of July. And it shows. Cedar really grew in that month!









I absolutely love the fluff behind his ears. It's so soft. It blows in the wind on our walks and just looks so beautiful!









Orion needed pictures for school of Cedar and that's what got my camera out on this evening.






I am glad I did. Not only because it got a few pictures of Cedar, but also these gems of Orion. He has really been enjoying bow staff tricks lately.






He's getting really good. This evening, he was working with a broom stick, but we have since found a bamboo staff for him to practice with.









More to come, as always. Thanks for looking!
