Taste the Rainbow

Ok, so here is our latest concoction! What begins as a simple box of Betty Crocker white cake mix turned into a brilliant bursting of colors right in our mouths!!!

STEP 1: white cake mix

STEP 2: TASTE THE RAINBOW


STEP 3: TA-DA!!!




Ok, so there are more than 3 steps so here it is....

Ingredients:
2 boxes white cake mix
24 oz of Sprite
gel food colouring
16 oz whipped topping
2 boxes instant fat-free sugar-free pudding mix

Cake:
Mix 2 boxes white cake mix with 24 oz of Sprite (no eggs, no oil, no water). Divide your cake mix into 6 cups or bowls and stir in gel food colours. Next, drop the colours, one by one, into the middle of the pan, in neat concentric-ish gobs. Do the reverse order of colors in the other pan.
To finish up follow the box’s baking instructions.

Topping:
Stir your 2 boxes of instant pudding with 2 tubs of cool whip. The frosting will be a little tough to spread so be sure the cake is completely cool before frosting. Also, I added a little milk because mine was REALLY thick.
This is what it's suppose to look like :)

I think we're gonna have to give it another couple trys before ours looks like that.

But anyway...ENJOY!!!

Swimmin' at Lava

The day began getting to the pool a whole 40 mins before it even opened! Yes, we wanted a nice shady spot under the tree and we also wanted to beat the rush on the water slides. In the mean time Meghann found the perfect distraction for Jensen...PUPPIES! There was a lady in the parking lot who was selling toy poodles and we got the chance to play with them while Jensen clinged to one whispering, "puppies, puppies, puppies!"

Our day at the pool consisted of laying out, snacking, and cooling off in the water. Jensen's favorite game was definitely the "throw me as high as you can" game. She would not stop laughing! It was hilarious! Uncle Dan's and her Daddy's arms were tired by the end of day.

As we snacked while catchin some rays, Jensen was the cookie hoarder. Every time we turned around there she was running off with the bag of Chips A-hoy cookies!

Overall it was a great day! We got to be outside, enjoying the warm weather and be with family. To end the big day we went back to Nate and Camilles for yummy BBQ and watched the Orlando Magic sweep Cleveland off their feet!
