Hey guys I made a little video of Jack while trying to catch him practicing his crawling.
Kind of fun and you can see how big he's getting!
And, to head off any comments on the subject,
I don't know when I'll be seeing you all next but we think about you all the time!
Love you all!

Lake pics

As you probably gathered from the last post it was lake weekend last week. And everyone but my camera had a great time! I have a few good shots, but mostly it was so hot that anytime I tried to pullout my camera to take pictures my lens would fog over
Phoeb's havin' a good time!
The girls tried laying out a few times of course they decided you couldn't do that without a stack of magazines. Here's Liv enjoying her Midwest Living or some other magazine not geared for teenager's or girls laying out :) I guess I should be genuinely happy but I can't help but laugh a little!
Here's Ally being taught by Anna how to hold her sparklers :) We've never been as careful with the fireworks as we probably should!
We of course had tons of fun in the water! This is Alex, Jack, Layna, & Livvy enjoying some float time :) They all came back crispy!
Surprise, surprise, this is where Layna spent most of her time!
Here's my boys wishing you a happy summer!

Happy 25th Anniversary at the lake!!

This is the cake I made for the 25th anniversary of lake house ownership for the Malter/Sperry/Blackburn Clan
We celebrated with chocolate cake and marble cake both filled with rich chocolate ganache and topped with a layer of the same yummy stuff!
It was wreathed in fondant leaves
I thought it looked pretty cool! The chocolate stripes remind me of a hat box :)

Oh do you know the muffin man?

This face is not unusual at our house... I decided to pull out the muffin tins today... Now I'm seeing faces like this....
He particularly likes it when there's food in the muffin tins :) ....
I might actually be able to make dinner now!
Thank goodness! We've finally met the muffin man!
