I probably should of had this published yesterday, but we had a nice long weekend of just hanging out at the lake and spending time together. My husband took off a couple of extra days which gave us a long weekend.
We started out by celebrating Jadyn’s 11th birthday. Her, Brooklyn, and I went to a Jamie Grace concert about a week ago–her favorite Christian artist.
If you have a daughter who needs a good role model as far as music goes….look her up. She shares about being single and waiting for God to bring her a husband. I like that she takes the time to see each and every one of her fans afterwards.
Then for her birthday dinner we celebrated it on the weekend when everyone could be together. Now for myself, I like to cook and bake. I might just be the only person who doesn’t mind making her own birthday dessert—because I know how I like it. Jadyn is the same way:) She made herself a chocolate sheet cake with homemade fudgy frosting. 
We also knew we were going to have a few extra’s for the day so we decided to make up a batch of vanilla cupcakes. We had a cake mix and just used that for the cupcakes but for the frosting we wanted something homemade. We decided to make a mock whipped cream type frosting.
She wanted to do some piping, but right now the temperature in North Carolina is close to 100 and we have a little bit of humidity which does not make it good for piping. But she tried:)
We spent much of our time this weekend at the Lake swimming. We BBQ I think almost every dinner. We went and saw fireworks in our community and yesterday we finished the weekend off with a trip to Lake Jocassee. It was a fun weekend. Today I am spending the day washing up towels, wiping down coolers, cleaning off chairs, and getting the house back in order. I hope your week is going well and I pray you find some time to play with your children.
Here is a little video of our weekend. Be blessed!
