MORE BASEBALL

This is our life right now! We had our annual dinner/auction on April 22nd and overall made around 20K including $725 for the SF Giants quilt. The aerial photos are courtesy of DJ and our new camera. Now we are preparing for the school carnival on the 28th. The kids have each made a cake to enter in the annual decorating contest. I will post pictures soon. Morgan made a baseball diamond for her entry (surprised?) and Dalton made a school bus. I think they will win, but then again, I'm the mom right?

Award Winning Cakes

Here they are, the two first place cakes that the kids made for their school carnival. The first place cakes are all put in the silent auction. Guess who bought these cakes. Yep, Dad bought them back!
