Sugar's!

This is what my sister and I have been up too all summer! Decorating fancy sugar cookies. I spent about a month blog hopping, watching videos, and learning about all of the best recommended products. I went out, bought everything I needed and got straight to work. We have had a blast! From start to finish it takes at least a full day to make these beauties, and that does not including drying time, before bagging them up individually! If we don't screw anything up too bad, they are well worth the time! :)

We didn't know we would be so into it, or we would have been taking better pics along the way.

Our first! Bridal Shower Cookies

Fathers Day Grandpas!

Bridal Shower

Can you really get much cutter than this?

Monogram Baby Shower Cookies.

(We now have baby cookie cutters!!)

I'm a cheat!

I haven't blogged all summer, but I have been catching up! So read on, there are lots of new post. (I change the dates, so they are all in order!)

Visit to Omaha!

Since Chad has spent most (all of) the summer out of town working, I thought now would be a great time to attempt a road trip to Omaha to visit the Uncks! I knew I wouldn't be able to do it on my own, so I took my little brother Mark along for some extra help!

The drive out went great! The kids watched a few shows, colored a ton, and ate plenty of junk food. Mapquest said 10 hours...and we made it there in 10 hours. How great is that? We stopped 3-4 times, only for potty breaks and gas. I had planned on stopping and letting the kids play at a play place, but we passed one and never found another. They were sad for a minute!

We had plenty to keep us busy for the week (if 6 kids wasn't busy enough). Here are a few pictures.

Pizza Machine!

Rides, tokens, tickets, prizes, pizza, slurpees, ice cream, nachos, & tacos! How fun is that for 6 kids? They loved it!!

The Slide!

2 Big slides in downtown Omaha. Not sure how many times they went down, but they all loved it. Wax paper made you go faster!!

The Zoo!

Our favorite part of the trip. First was the butterfly garden. Carli thought she was living a "Fancy Nancy" dream.

My kids could have spent hours in the aquarium! Amazing.

Gorillas! This was fabulous. As we were getting ready to move onto the next animals, the gorillas and orangoutangs starting 'singing' a little song to us. We all loved watching them puff up their necks! Very entertaining! :) (too bad we dont have pictures of the actual animal.)

Thanks Uncks for a great week we will never forget!
