Happy Cooler (relatively!) Weather Everyone 
Temperatures here have finally dropped down below 100 so we feel like “fall” has officially come. In celebration of this, we decided to get together with our friends, Mia, Esteka and Moises to make some fun pumpkin cupcakes. The girls had a lot of fun mixing and decorating the cupcakes and the difficulty level was perfect for both of them. We got the decorating ideas from the book, Hello Cupcake . Just a word of advice, if you do choose to try this activity, DO NOT USE PILLSBURY WHIPPED FROSTING – it falls right off of the cupcakes and you will have a puddle of orange at the base of your cupcakes! Anyway, I digress Here are the photos from our fun day yesterday!!
Braelyn has also been really enjoying her dance/gymnastics class that she goes to once a week. They alternate 1/2 hour of tap and ballet each week and then also do 1/2 hour of gymnastics. They are practicing a tap routine for a community holiday festival called Glendale Glitters where they will be performing on the big stage in front of a crowd!! We think that the date is November 27th at 7PM, but are waiting for final confirmation from the dance teacher. We will keep everyone updated and of course, will be there with the video camera to capture it for those of you that can’t make it. She wanted to show off her dance costume in these pics and we had been to the zoo to get a HUGE lollipop
Happy beginning of fall to everyone! We hope your days are filled with cooler temps, falling leaves and pumpkins galore!!
Love,
MLB Mama

Looks like Braelyn and Esteka had a wonderful time – lucky for us Braelyn likes to make the cupcakes more than eat them so there is plenty for Gramma Bonnie to have! She looks so grown up with her hair in pigtails and in her dance leotard. I’m sure she’ll be the star of the tap dance “I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas” at Glendale Glitters. Thank goodness for fall in Arizona – only in the 90′s this week – woo hoo! Love you B! Gramma Bonnie

What beautiful little bakers you have! It looks like the activity was lots of fun with some pretty yummy results.
Braelyn, that sucker was half the size that you are! You scored big time at the zoo!
I am glad B is enjoying her dance and gymnastics classes. First recitals are alot of fun to be in and to watch. Can’t ewait to see our budding STAR. The pictures are great! Love you all!
