Cupcakes

So.....I have been thinking about doing something in my spare time that I really love to do! And that's baking! So I have decided to try making cupcakes out of my home and selling them. A friend of mine had been doing this with decorated cookies, and she is doing really well. She talked me into trying it with cupcakes. So today I spent 6 hours in the kitchen making 5 different kinds of cupcakes. So far, my family is impressed, and so are a our friends (Shane, Jodi, Doug and Sherri). I even have Jessica giving me feedback and I am taking them to work tomorrow to get feedback before I jump into this...So if all goes well, I might be making some extra cash baking:) Here are some pics of the cupcakes I made today. They are from L to R: Lemon Drop, Peanut Butter Cup, Chocolate Mint, Strawberries & Cream, and My favorite Margarita!!!!

Jenny

Jenny had her first softball game on Friday night. She is on a traveling softball team called ECI Dynamite out of Danville, IL. She played against her 2 best friends who are twins. Even though Jenny's team lost both games, Jenny played great. Her main position is 3rd base. Jenny had a perfect bunt, and she also hit a pop fly to the outfield. Next weekend, we are off to Charleston for another Double Header!!! Here are some pics of Jenny on Friday!

Awards Night

At the Spring Sports banquet, they gave away awards to 4 different girls on the dance team. Jami received an award for Most Improved Dancer! Way To Go Jami!!!!

Jami~Dance

Well, we survived another year of Warriorette Dance! Jami and her dance team has a really great year. They competed @ Charleston (received 1st place), Clinton (received 2nd place), Villa Grove (received 1st place), Tuscola (received 1st place) and Unity (received 3rd place). They qualified for STATE at their very first competition. The girls did really good at state. They competed against 11 other schools in their category and came away with 5th place! Not Bad! State was held @ the University of Illinois Assembly Hall in Champaign, IL.

So dance is officially over for this school year. They held tryouts 2 weeks ago, and I am happy to say that Jami is once again on the Warriorettes Dance team. And she will be a Senior! Woo Hoo!!!
