Smore Cupcakes





One of our favorite desserts around the Fruia house is Smores. So anytime I get a chance to try out a new smore recipe I do. The kids and I made this recipe for Smore Cupcakes. I highly recommend these. They are very tasty and yummy. Tell me if you like them.

Children's Museum So much fun













Yesterday we went to the Children's Museum in Fort Worth with my mom. We had so much fun and can't wait to go back.

AHH my Bookshelf


When we were moving all of the kids room we decided that we wanted Hayden to have a bookshelf. I love bookshelf's especially in boy rooms. So we started looking for Navy ones. Let me tell you that was a hard hard find. I was so frustrated because the ones I liked were around $500.00. I can tell you I was not paying that. My dad and I were talking the other day and I was telling him how upset about the shelves I was and he said ask me to go them. Duh I thought he made us gorgeous built in in our family room of course he could make the bookshelf and for a fraction of the cost. So off he set and it took him no time. I love the way they look. They turned out excellent. Hayden decorated them the way he wanted (not mom's way). They are great new assets to his room.

Bug is getting so Big!


We moved Sadie Bug to her crib right after we got back from our vacation on the 4th. Here she is the first morning. How is my baby getting so big so fast?

4th Of July












For the 4th of July this year we had big big plans. We were headed to Gulf Shores, AL with my whole family. And I mean whole family. We were going to have 24 of us. Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, Grandma, Grandpa's you name it we were going to have it. But as you all know by now unless you have been under a rock there was a huge oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico (thank you BP). We were hanging in there until the last minute possible to make the decision. As the days approached Gulf Shores got hit horribly from the oil and the property manager of the house recommended we cancel. So we canceled and started to scramble to come up with someplace all the Texas folk could go to get away. After many many hours on the phone Betsy and I came up with the Hyatt Hill Country Resort in San Antonio. If you haven't been there I highly recommend it. The hotel was a wonderful atmosphere great family fun. My kids loved it and we didn't even have to drive all the way to Alabama. They had tons of activities for the kids such as making smores by a campfire at night, wagon rides, zoo animals, pools and the best a lazy river. Here are some pics hope you enjoy.
