Cake in the making

It's cake time yet again in the Gullett household. Brock turned 4 on Monday so we set about making him a "Monster Mutt" cake on Saturday. It included taking apart a non-running remote control truck, screwing a piece of wood to the top, and covering said top with aluminum foil. I baked 2-9x13 sheet cakes and Don did the rest. Oh I guess I made the frosting (haha) cause I'm a helper like that you know =)  And the rest is history.

Yesterday we tried our hand at geocaching and had a great time traipsing across fields (including blackberries OUCH) and found all kind of neat things at Camp Adair. We figure we walked about five or six miles, saw lots and lots of caterpillars and one snake with a rattly tail, yuck! We searched for ten geocaches and figure there are probably at least 30 or more left for us to find, can't wait.

Picture update

I took the kids on a three mile walk/hike last night and got some great pictures. We, as usual, had a great time, we kicked the leaves in the trail and enjoyed listening to the owls hooting and watching the leaves fall from the trees. Oh how I love fall!

The kids and I all went Tuesday morning to pick apples. We picked 113 pounds have been dehydrating and canning like crazy since then. They apples weren't ripe as early and we finally got to pick the ever elusive Brock apple. We were all so excited, it was yummy =) Couldn't resist getting a picture of my Brock by his apples =)

Weekend getaway

Some amazing friends of ours offered to watch our kids/house/dog for a night while Don and I went away for the first time since we had Morgan. We had an amazing time, took LONG walks on the beach (we got lost) but we did get to meet some nice mormon guys =) We found a great beach with a spout and got some amazing pictures and luckily didn't get wet like some of the other people down there.

What do you do on a rainy day when you have a house full of kids?
