Soooo I keep saying I’ve been busy moving and now here are some photos of our first home!

We are so excited to be in our very own home and all the animals are slowly settling in. We are still working on fixing things and getting furniture, as can be expected, but we decided to have a few friends over for a cookout on the Fourth of July.
I decided I wanted to make some festive cupcakes from scratch in my new kitchen. I used the vanilla cake recipe from Better Homes and Gardens Everyone can Bake cookbook as well as the cream cheese frosting recipe.

I used blue and red food dye to dye the cupcake dough and frosting red white and blue.

Then I attempted to use tips to frost them, a first for me and very messy.
Then we had a few friends over for a BBQ.

Behr didn’t want to stay in the group photo…
He’d rather run around and be a goof ball…
And at the end of the night we all ate cupcakes.
