Golf Birthday Cake

Jun 23, 2014 | , , | 19 Comments


After a week of Golf Camp the birthday boy asked for a “Golf” birthday this year! It’s been hard to keep up lately, and I probably should have just ordered a cake from a local bakery this year, but I was determined to make one myself.  Halfway through I was worried that it was a total flop and emailed a friend for encouagement (I pretty much have a panic attack every time I attempt to decorate a cake!) but in the end you really can’t mess up a golf cake – all the imperfections just add character, right?! 😉

Golf Cake

Supplies:

3 – 8″ Round Cakes (I made Vanilla with Chocolate CHIP)
2 – 16-oz can Vanilla Frosting mixed with Leaf Green Icing Gel for desired shade of green
Bamboo Skewer with Flag created out of colored and white card stock

Directions:

Prepare and bake cakes according to directions. Cool.


While the cake is baking melt some of the white candy melts and place in the 3D Golf Ball Chocolate Candy Mold.  I made four so that hopefully at least one would turn out well. 😉  Gently tap the mold on the counter to remove any air bubbles. Place in the refrigerator to harden. 


After the candy has hardened, remove first halves of the golf balls from the candy mold and refill the holes with additional melted candy.


Place the completed golf ball halves on top of the melted candy in the mold and gently press down to connect the two halves.  The melted candy will harden and connect the two to create halves to create the round golf ball. 


Layer the cakes, with frosting in between each layer, on a cake platter. Spread a very thin layer of frosting on the top and sides of the cake to seal crumbs. Place in the freezer for about 20-30 minutes. (This make spreading the final coat of frosting so much easier.)


Fill the decorating bag with about 1 cup of frosting.  Spread the remaining frosting evenly over the sides and top of the cake. Using the decorating bag with the grass tip, add “grass” to the cake leaving an opening for the green.  


Insert flag and place a chocolate candy golf ball on top.  All done! 


I’ll be back later with pictures from the birthday par-tee! In the meantime you can find all of our past birthdays and cakes here. 

Golf Camp & Tournament

Jun 21, 2014 | | 7 Comments

For the past four years our children have been attending a Junior Golf Camp Week each summer! Each day is packed with fun and includes lots of skills challenges to help the children learn and improve their golf game. The camp is affordable, even for our large family, and run by an amazing instructor (she was in the military and has absolutley no trouble organizing and teaching the group of 70 kids!) with the help of a number of other instructors/coaches.

First Day of Golf Camp! 
Each day starts with check-in at 8:55 with the clinics starting promptly.  (Coach Linda isn’t interested in hearing excuses… If you are late make sure who get to where you are suppose to be without interrupting. We made sure we were early each day!)
Day two of Golf Camp. . . Today they all remembered their sweatshirts.  It should warm up, but the mornings have been chilly this week. 
Monday through Thursday the participants were broken up by age and skill level to rotate through “drills and skills” with each instructor. 

Wednesday was also “Team Spirit” Day and the children were asked to come in support of their favorite team with a prize for the Best Dressed Ducks and Beavers Fans.  Most of the kids showed up dressed in green/yellow but Uncle Kevin’s nieces and nephews (and all the coaches!) had him well represented. Go Beavs!

Chiquita won the prize for the Best Dressed Girl Beaver Fan!  🙂 
(Captain and Ranger missed the contest since their group was still out on the course…) 

They work hard and come home exhausted. . .

This year’s camp came to an end this afternoon following the Master Challenge Tournament!  
They had to arrive extra early this morning, so Sean took our golfers (and Bud) and Rose and I met up with them around 10:00 am.  This gave me just enough time to walk the golf course and watch each of them play a hole with their teams. 
The tournament was divided into five age groups, each group playing a different number of holes (3-Holes/4-Holes/5-Holes/6-Holes/8-Holes) with one winner for each group. Twinkle Toes (who got a Par on hole #6!) won the tournament for the 6-Hole group and Captain (who also had a couple Pars) won the tournament in the 8-Hole Group! 
The children were all sad to have Golf Camp come to an end, but tomorrow we will be celebrating a certain little seven year old (who recently lost his two front teeth) boy’s birthday… 
Any guesses on the party theme he asked for this year? 

Civil War Day

Jun 18, 2014 | , , | 7 Comments

On Father’s Day, after getting home from Mass, I spent the afternoon resting at home with the two little ones while Sean took the five older children to a Civil War Reenactment at one of our State Parks! They stepped back in time to learn what life was like for the people who lived during those turbulent times. They wandered through the Yankee and Confederate camps and talked with both military and civilian re-enactors to learn how war affected everyone.  My husband even took along my camera to take pictures for me to see and share!

(Thank you once again for all the prayers and loving comments.  They have been such a comfort. Please continue to keep us in your prayers as we bury our little Anthony, next to Gabriel, tomorrow afternoon. May God reward you all abundantly!)

On the Feast of St. Anthony of Padua

Jun 14, 2014 | , , | 41 Comments

Posted yesterday afternoon, June 13th, the Feast of St. Anthony of Padua, on Instagram/Facebook:  
Home from the hospital and so thankful for hugs and cuddles from my little ones… 
{pregnancy/miscarriage update posted here on the blog} 
Thank you all so much for the prayers!

“Blessed are they that mourn; for they shall be comforted.”
– Matthew 5:5

O Merciful Jesus, hear me! Please listen to my plea for help. My heart is stricken, and my soul is overwhelmed with grief. I try to understand, but I can only trust. My God, I believe in Thee! Increase my faith. Strengthen my trust, for I feel so weak. Console my heart, for I know no comfort, now that I have lost my precious baby, whom Thou hadst given me. I do not know why Thou hast taken my child from me, but I know I must trust in Thy mercy and goodness. I know that Thou dost not delight in my sorrows, but dost love me with an infinite love and dost feel infinite compassion for my poor heart. Have mercy on me, Sweet Heart of Jesus, have pity on me in my grief, and comfort me. I know my little one is safe in Thy tender care. Have mercy on my baby, O Lord, and bless my baby and our grieving family.  

O Sorrowful Heart of Mary, join me in my sorrow. Thou hast known the anguish of watching thy Son die; I too have lost my child. In my grief, I turn to thee, my Mother. Cover me with thy mantle, shower me with graces, and comfort me by thy presence. Assist me and my husband through this trying time; may our hearts draw even closer to each other and to Our Merciful Lord in this painful time. Help us to trust in His goodness and love, as thou didst trust, long ago, beneath the Cross of Calvary. As for our dear baby who has departed for us, I entrust this child to thy care. My child did not (while still living*) have the opportunity to receive the Sacrament of Baptism; nevertheless, take him under thy mantle, watch over him and pray for him. I know thy prayers have never failed before the Heavenly Throne. And, O merciful Mother, watch over our family, comfort us in our grief, and help us to find peace and solace in trusting in the goodness and love of our merciful God, in whose care our dear baby rests. Amen. 
– Prayer of a Bereaved Mother of an Unbaptized Baby, Your Labor of Love by Agnes M. Penny

*My husband and I did give the baby, whom we named Anthony, a conditional baptism following my miscarriage yesterday afternoon. We will meet with the cemetery next week to arrange Anthony’s burial. Please continue to pray for our family. 

Mother of Sorrows, pray for us!
Mother of Sorrows, pray for our departed child!
St. Anthony of Padua, pray for us! 

God’s Will Be Done

Jun 13, 2014 | , | 98 Comments

My heart sank and I whispered a prayer the minute the ultrasound tech brought up the image on the screen as she tried to find the baby inside my womb this morning. It didn’t take long for my husband and I to see that there had been no development since my last ultrasound.  Deep down I already knew that we’d recieve sad news today, especially after seeing very little development between the 1st and 2nd ultrasounds combined with the disappearance of my pregnancy symptoms, but I kept hoping for a miracle and praying I would be surprised during this 3rd ultrasound with a beating heart and healthy baby. Instead our hearts broke and the tears started flowing.

Please pray for us.

I was able to schedule a follow-up appointment with the same specialist from my last miscarriage for tomorrow morning, and I’ll most likely be going to the hospital afterwards. We’ve also started to make the arrangements for our little one to be buried. It has been such a hard day.

Thank you Rosalie for the St. Gerard Hankie, and thank you all for the prayers.
May God reward you abundantly!

“Here the will of God is done, as God wills, and as long as God wills.” 
– Saint Gerard Majella

Hiking the Gorge Trail

Jun 12, 2014 | , , | 5 Comments

Last Saturday afternoon, during our recent camping trip, we went on a hike along the river to see the Gorge! It was absolutely breathtaking and the pictures don’t do it justice.

In this area the river cascades through a constricted channel of basalt lava and the gorge was formed over many years by the erosive action of the river. 

I still can’t believe that I’ve lived here since I was a teen and this was the first time I had seen the Gorge. I have driven by in the past, but never stopped to walk the trail…  I guess it took me over 20 years to visit Crater Lake for the first time too!

.: The Gorge Inlet :. 

.: Overlooking the Gorge :. 

.: Lava Tubes :. 

Here the opposite wall of the Gorge exposes two lava tubes. One, partially collapsed, looks like a cave. The other tube was plugged by a later lava flow.

The lava tubes were formed by the rapid cooling of the outer surface of a basalt flow, while the hot lava continued to flow underneath. As the molten lava drained out, it left behind a hollow tube.

.: The Chasm :. 

The Gorge forms a chasm 500 feet long.  The Gorge narrows to 25 feet from the platform’s edge to the opposite wall, and it drops 45 feet to the River. 

Look down at River: enough water (410,000 gallons) flows beneath your feet each minute to fill an Olympic-size pool . . . but with an average temperature of 44˚F would you want to swim in it? Because of the upper Rogue’s very cold water, native fish do not grow to a large size. 
.: The Living Stump :. 

Here on the flat surface of the lava flow, away from the Gorge wall, the trees live as a group rather than as individuals. The roots of these Douglas-firs have grown together, providing each other with nutrients and water. 

Before it was cut, the roots of this tree had grafted onto those of a neighbor. Because of this, the stump continues to live. 

.: Nature’s Rock Garden :. 

Here at the outlet of the Gorge, a tree must be a “rugged individual” to survive the harsh conditions – the lack of soil, hot and dry summers. The Douglas-firs across the River – by sending their roots deep into the fractured rock in search of water – cling to the wall like climbers on a cliff. 

.: The Gorge Outlet :. 

This was as far as we hiked with with the little ones, but Sean took the older children down to the end of the trail to the Natural Bridges where the river disappears entirely underground into a lava tube for about 250 feet before reappearing and then continuing it’s journey towards the ocean.

{pretty, happy, funny, real} Camping

~ Capturing the context of contentment in everyday life. ~
{pretty}

We hiked the Gorge trail last Saturday and it was incredibly pretty… and pretty terrifying! I was thankful for the safety fences along the trail, especially hiking with all the children, and that we had chosen a campsite (at our campground upstream from the Gorge) that wasn’t along the River. 
{happy}

Happy Campers

{funny}
While we were roasting marshmallows, Captain pulled back his stick too quickly to check his marshmallow and all the outer layers flew off the stick and landed right behind him! 
His Dad told him that a two prong roasting stick (like I was using) was probably a better idea.  

He grabbed another stick and made his own.
{real}

Of all of our children, Rose definitely likes camping the least.  
She did like sitting in her Grandma’s reclining chair and watching the river at their campsite!
When I asked our little princess if she liked camping she hesitantly said, “yyyyes…” 
… and when I asked if she would you like to go camping again she said, “ummm, maybe NOT!”

Maiden Voyage :: A Daybook Following our First Camping Trip of the Summer!

Jun 12, 2014 | , , , | 16 Comments

Outside my window… 
Our family arrived home Monday night after spending four days and three nights at a beautiful, secluded campground in the midst of an old growth forest along the river. This particular campground is a favorite of my parents and they suggested it might be a fun place to visit for our “maiden voyage” in the motorhome!

I am thankful… 
that we weren’t camping in tents and I had driven the van, otherwise I wouldn’t have made it through even the first night. Rose ended up coming down with a high fever around 2am and my husband ended up leaving the campground to make a 2 hour round trip to the closest 24 hour store to purchase Tylenol, while I kept cool rags on her forehead. We have quite a long list of things to remember to pack next time!

I am thinking… 
We should have known better than to plan a camping trip the day after swimming lessons ended.  I guess I thought we’d make it through without catching any bugs this year since the classes were smaller. . .  Rose felt better by morning, but the next evening Chiquita started throwing up and Bud had a runny nose. Once again I considered driving home, but at least we had a bathroom for her to use in the motorhome and if I left with the van the rest of the family would have had a difficult time getting to Mass Sunday morning. Ultimately we ended up staying and I stayed at the campground with the sick ones while Sean took the rest to Mass on Pentecost. Thankfully it was a quick moving virus and it didn’t seem to last for more than 24 hours for anyone, except Bud who is still fighting a runny nose.

Learning all the time…
Sickness wasn’t the only challenge we had. Half way to the campground I called my Dad to ask a question and he asked if we remembered to fill up the water tanks. . . ummmmm.  no.  we hadn’t. Thankfully the gas station we stopped at to fill up the gas and propane tanks had water available too.  whew!  It was a good thing too.  On Sunday our campground and everyone else in the area was without running water do to some plumbing issues up the mountain.  The water faucets and bathrooms were all out of service for the day. The whole weekend was a learning experience when it came to operating the motor home, but I think we are starting to figure it all out!

Celebrating the liturgical year…
It was interesting spending Pentecost in the forest!  While Sean took most of the children to Mass I stayed at the campground with Bud and Chiquita.  I built a campfire to heat water for white cocoa, washed strawberries, and filled a paper tray with some white donuts.

I had also packed along some candles, strawberries, whip cream, and angel food cake for a simplified version of our usual cake, though we kept the “mighty wind” to a minimum since a couple of the kids were still not feeling well.

My parents actually met up with Sean and the kids at Mass and drove up to stay the last night in their motorhome, which kept me from heading home on Sunday afternoon! 😉


We had so much fun playing Apples to Apples, roasting marshmallows, and listening to all of Grandpa’s stories around the campfire. 

From the kitchen… 
I learned how to operate the motorhome stove and cooked the eggs inside…

…while Sean cooked the delicious Applewood Smoked Bacon outside! 

I am working on… 
a separate post with all the pictures from our hike on Saturday.  I already have way too many pictures in this post! 🙂

I am creating…
Snuggles enjoyed creating boats to send down the river.

So did Captain… when he wasn’t busy skipping rocks.

Ranger had fun fishing…

… while the girls learned all about Grandpa’s various hand-tied flies.

I am going…
to have to talk my my Mom and Dad into coming camping with us more often. It was such a treat for the kids to have this special time with their grandparents!  

I am hoping…
to see a beating heart in the morning. ♥

I am praying…
for the baby.  I haven’t been feeling nauseous this week and that has me worried.  Please continue to pray for us.  I will be going in tomorrow morning for a 3rd ultrasound.  Last week’s ultrasound didn’t go as well as I had hoped it would.  {Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary. . .}

I am reading…
not much.  Please forgive me if I owe you an email. After being offline for days (we didn’t even have cell phone service at the campground) I’m even further behind than usual.

Pondering these words…
from Mother Teresa:

“We need to find God, and He cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature – trees, flowers, grass – grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence… We need silence to be able to touch souls.”

I am listening… 
flowing water, forests alive with birds singing, wind through the tall trees, crackling campfires, the hum of the mosquitoes, and happy children!  I love (almost all) the sounds of camping!

Around the house campsite…
Chipmunks!  Bud had so much fun watching them each day.

One of my favorite things…  
S’mores!

This week’s plans…

  • Monday: Arrive back home from Camping!
  • Tuesday: Laundry, laundry, laundry. . . 
  • Wednesday: Doctor’s appointment for me (Blood Tests) in the morning. Friends coming for lunch and to visit for the afternoon! 
  • Thursday: My 3rd Ultrasound in the morning and another doctors appointment in the afternoon. 

A little peek at my day…
The campground had an amazing children’s play area and I took some pictures of the children playing just before we packed up to head home on Monday. 

Despite the challenges we had such a great time creating wonderful memories as a family.  I’m looking forward to our next trip, wherever it may be! 

A Secret Garden Birthday on Easter Sunday

Jun 6, 2014 | , , , , | 16 Comments

I am so pleased that my girls love reading The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett as much as I did as a child.  It has always been one of my favorite books ever since my parents gave me a copy illustrated by Graham Rust for Christmas in 1988, when I was 10 years old. I still have my treasured and well loved copy today. 
I ended up choosing different versions for my girls, giving the Tasha Tudor illustrated edition to our oldest daughter on her last birthday, the Inga Moore illustrated edition to Chiquita last Christmas, and I do have the Graham Rust illustrated edition (like mine) to save for Rose.   (Note: This post includes affiliate links.) 
.: The Birthday Girl :. 
Chiquita’s 9th birthday fell on Easter Sunday this year and her Secret Garden themed party tied in perfectly. It was such a special day!

 
Birthday Hugs and Visiting with Grandpa & Grandma on the phone
.: In the Garden :. 

But she was inside the wonderful garden, and she could come through the door under the ivy any time, and she felt as if she had found a world all of her own.

The older boys helped me create a door out of brown paper.  We added some watercolor wood grains and then created a Key Hole and Keys using black and purple card stock with my Cricut with the Sophisticated Cartridge.

I also used the Sophisticated Cartridge to create the letters for her Birthday Banner placing them on backgrounds cut with Elegant Edges.

I picked up a strand of Ivy with purple flowers and butterflies at the craft store, as well as a few flower plants to use as decorations as well.  It was simple but pretty!

.: The Robin Who Showed the Way :. 

“You showed me where the key was yesterday,” she said. “You ought to show me the door today; but I don’t believe you know!” The robin flew from his swinging spray of ivy on to the top of the wall and he opened his beak and sang a loud, lovely trill, merely to show off – and they are nearly always doing it.

.: Garden Gate Keys :. 

It was more than a ring, however; it was an old key which looked as if it had been buried a long time.

Chocolate keys with Dark Cocoa, Milk Chocolate and Peanut Butter Candy Melts and a Skeleton Key Chocolate Candy Mold
.: Nest Building :. 
“It’s part o’ th’ springtime, this nest-buildin’ is,” he said. ” I warrant it’s been goin’ on in th’ same way every year since th’ world was begun. They’ve got their way o’ thinking  an’ coin  things, an’ a body had better not meddle. You can lose a friend in springtime easier than any other season if you’re too curious.”  
.: A Bit of Earth :. 
“Might I,” quavered Mary, “might I have a bit of earth?” In her eagerness she did not realize how queer the words would sound and that they were not the ones she had meant to sat. Mr Craven looked quite startled.  “Earth!” he repeated. “What do you mean?” “To plant seeds in – to make things grow – to see them come alive,” Mary faltered. 

Chocolate “Bit of Earth” Cupcakes baked in Flower Pots (similar to these) with Chocolate Carrots
.: Bird Bingo :. 
“What kind of bird is he?” Mary asked. “Doesn’t tha’ know? He’s a robin redbreast, an’ they’re th’ friendliest, curiousest birds alive. They’re almost as friendly as dogs – if you know how to get on with ’em. Watch him peck in’ about there an’ looking’ round at us now an again. He knows we’re talking’ about him.”

.: Skipping Rope :. 
The skipping-rope was a wonderful thing. She counted and skipped, and skipped and counted, until her cheeks were quite red, and she was more interested than she had ever been since she was born. 
The girls all received jump ropes in their Easter Baskets this year! 
.: Searching for Easter Eggs :. 
Our Annual Easter Egg Hunt was another fun birthday activity this year!  The birthday girl was totally confused when Uncle Brian gave her a hint: “where was the garden key found?”  She started looking for signs of where eggs might be buried (the key was discovered buried in dirt in the actual book) while her older brother discovered the stash of eggs behind a dislodged brick (the key was found behind a brick in the version of the movie my siblings and I watched recently when we were kids).  The birthday girl was so excited to find the Golden Egg this year! 
.: Birthday Gifts :. 
As I mentioned in this year’s Easter Basket post, I usually fill a “Family Easter Basket” with gifts representing the various Easter Symbols. This year the basket was filled with extra gifts for the Birthday Girl:

She also received a card and spending money from her out-of-state grandparents and The Beaver Family from my parents (we are all Beaver Fans after all!) , and even an Easter Egg filled with candy and more spending money from Uncle Brian & Aunt Meagan!
She also received sweet and thoughtful little gifts from her siblings… 
.: Secret Garden Birthday Cake :. 
I posted all about the cake here: Secret Garden Birthday Cake

It was such a fun birthday and so special that it happened to fall on Easter Sunday this year!

Prayer of Mothers

Father in heaven, grant me the grace to appreciate the dignity which you have conferred on me. Let me realize that not even the Angels have been blessed with such a privilege—to share in your creative miracle and bring new Saints to heaven. Make me a good mother to all my children after the example of Mary, the Mother of your Son. Through the intercession of Jesus and Mary I ask your continued blessings on my family. Let us all be dedicated to your service on earth and attain the eternal happiness of your kingdom in heaven. Amen.
