Cake in a Cup
I found this recipe on Pinterest and tried it.  You take an angel food cake mix and any other flavor cake mix and dump them into a plastic bag and combine the two.  Then you take 3 Tbsps of cake mix and 2 Tbsps of water and combine them in a coffee cup and microwave for 1 minute.  Not good, unless you enjoy eating a sponge.  My eight year old boy who usually eats anything, politely put it down and said he was full after one bite.

Candy and her baby
One of our favorite times of the year is when the heifers are calving.  Although it takes a lot of around the clock work, we love to have those babies around.  This is one of Charlie's 4H heifers from last year.  It is quite the thing to watch this pair as this heifer truly loves her baby.  You can hear it in the way she talks to her.

4H Geology


We have been growing crystals for a lesson in 4H geology.  The top one is a "snow flake crystal" made from borax.  The second one is a geode crystal in an egg shell made from salt.  This was a fun activity.

If you are viewing my blog, please don't be shy.  I love to hear feedback!
