Cupcake Wars and A Relaxing Labor Day Weekend

I hope all of my friends and family had a good Labor Day weekend! Ours was super sweet ;)

Michael and I decided that we wanted a do nothing weekend, and it was exactly what we needed!
Saturday morning we took James's 2 year Chair Pictures 
Then we hit the gym and picked up Mike's new car
After that we had a surprise for our girl!
We took a walk (which is the kid's favorite way to spend family time) to the local grocery store.
Do you see those birds we found on our walk home?!?! 

While James and I picked out dinner Mike and Jenna picked out everything they thought they would need to have our very 1st Family Cupcake Wars!

The Theme was Me... Like Me, Jacqui Reece, Mom, wife, lover of all things sweet! 


While Mike and Jenna made their cupcakes I made dinner "cupcakes"
I call them Steak Fajita ala guacamole cup 
We had dinner while their creations baked
then James and I cuddled with Buzz during the "decoration time" 
Once their time was up it was time for my favorite part
Tasting
Jenna made me chocolate pumpkin cupcakes 
with a chocolate chip crust
And Mike made me pumpkin pie cupcakeswith cream cheese filling
They were pretty and yummy
Though Mike's flowers were very pretty Jenna took the win with the chocolate crust!!

They agreed! 
And Jenna was excited to bring the left overs to her church friends for Sunday school!

Sunday we tried out the new Lions Park (Super Cute)
\
Then we went home and the kids played outside while Mike and I spent some alone time, and watched them from the couch 

 Then we had family movie night and foot rubs :)
Monday we took the Labor thing seriously, and started in on our side yard project!
Nothing wrong with a little slave labor right?
James was so freaked out that Jenna was holding a worm ;)

Site supervisor right here ;)

 Oh and that guy right there is Bill he just started helping when he saw Mike working! 
Then another neighbor Lisa showed up with veggies for all of us, and all the kids started playing
I LOVE THIS HOUSE MORE, BECAUSE OF THE NEIGHBORS WE HAVE!
I feel so refreshed and more in love with my husband, kids, and home than ever!
I love times like this when there is nothing you have to be doing just having fun with no one around!
