Birthday Cake

Dallas requested a Duck Dynasty birthday cake this year, so Reba and I set out to make it extra special!

First, and most importantly, Reba had to taste test the batter to make sure it was suitable for the party.

I do believe it passed the test!

We made a white and a chocolate cake mix.  The white batter, I divided in half and colored them tan and green.  The chocolate batter, I divided and made one black and left the other brown.

I dolloped the different colors randomly into the pan, hoping to get a cammo effect

I found figurines of the men of Duck Dynasty on Amazon, and thought they would look great on the cake - along with some ducks I also found on Amazon.

I was pretty pleased with how it turned out - especially the inside!

Until next time...

Bye Bye Birdie

Or maybe I should say ducks.  That's right, we said good-bye to our ducks.

All loaded up!

Happily waddling to their new home

They took to the pond like a duck to... well, you know, water!  Plus, they have all kinds of new friends at their new home (our 6 ducks are the dark ones in front - just look at all the others in the background coming to greet them!)

Little Miss feeding them as well

The kiddos have asked a few times to go and see how the ducks are doing.  We keep saying that we will go visit once they get settled into their new home...

Until next time...

Farm Expansion

We have once again expanded our farming operation...
Here is our newest addition - 6 ducks!

We did some rearranging in the barn so they could have room to grow and a place to swim

Such happy little ducks taking a happy little dip in the pool

Until next time...
