It smells so good while it's cooking, I think this is my favorite thing about baking!
It makes such a pretty cake too, you can see all the fresh chunks of strawberries.

STRAWBERRY GLAZE FROSTING
2 cups of confectioners sugar
1/2 stick of softened butter
The 6 T. of strawberry juice
Mix in saucepan and boil for 2-3 minutes.
Remove from heat and add;
2-3 drops red food coloring,
Now drizzle over cooled cake.
I like to use more strawberries and cover the
cake with them as the frosting sets up and all is cool.
This is so good, a special Spring time treat, enjoy!

It's a new swimming and sports complex in their city.
This is a winding current of water that carries them around,
kind of like the steams of water I floated on a tube as a kid.

Little Ella...she was so brave! Anything she saw the
older kids around her doing, she had to do it too.

I thought this was so cute...Sophia was with her older boy cousins and
she had them all charmed! Look how sweet she is holding on to his neck!

Sophia's daddy is a championship trials bike rider. This was the first
time she had seen him doing it and wearing a helmet etc. She thought
that was all so exciting hearing the sounds of the motorcycles and seeing
dad ride by and wave at her.

I love playing on the floor with my grands...I love how she is looking right into my soul in this picture. That is what grands do, and thats what grandma's do too, thats why we love each other so much! I also show you this to show my hair...I liked it but was in a bit of a FUNK...so I did this...
And I am loving it! It is so easy to do...I just get up and run my fingers through water and then through my hair, shaping it as I go, and I'm done! It is so fast and so easy...I am out of the FUNK and ready for Spring! It was a fun change... and change is good. Now I am a sassy grandma! ;D
It must be Spring, we keep getting little dusting of snow but for the most part it gets more and more sunny and the temps. get a bit warmer everyday. I am loving walking outside again, I was getting so tired of the dreadmill. I take my dogs each day and go for about 4 miles, they love it.
Have a good week my friends and THANK YOU for all your kindness to me, I love every
one of you so much...you make me laugh and shed tears...you are my sisters and my friends.

Strawberry cake, my favorite and so spring-y! Those grandkids are cutie pies, what a great place to go and enjoy the day.

Well, I think your hair is absolutely adorable! What a great cut. Makes me wish I had cut mine shorter (I just got a cut yesterday). It really does look sassy and fun!
And your family is beautiful. I loved all the pics. Thanks for sharing with us.
XO,
Sheila :-)
Your hair is so cute and stylish, I love it.
I love babies in swim suits.
"I love it that they love each other, that is what makes my heart happy".
You did a good job mom. I think this quote says it all!
Blessings, Debbie
It looks like you have had fun with those grandkids. They are as sweet lookin as that cake, which I think I can smell from here. And your cut looks good on you, enjoy it.
Julie this new hair is just adorable. Honestly, you really and truly have it all. I am glad we share so many fun things in common and especially our beliefs!
Hugs, B
I thought your hair looked shorter in the photo with the kids, but I figured you had it pulled up. It looks so cute cut short!! That strawberry cake sounds delicious too. I love strawberry anything.
Thank you so much for keeping up with Jordan and praying for him. The facebook page was set up by my niece (Jordan's sister) so that everyone could keep up with how Jordan is doing. I'm not sure how it works(the friending part)as I'm not on facebook, yet :-) My kids pull up the updates for me or my brother emails them to me. My brother's children and their families all live in Arizona so facebook has helped everyone stay in touch.
Blessings,
Marcia
Your hair cut is super cute!
Yummy looking recipe too! Maybe I'll have to dig out my bundt pan to make this one :)
So happy for you that you got to spend such a fun day with your grands .
Have a great weekend.
