Adult-themed birthday cake


So I came up with the great idea of how to make a TNMT cake with my limited cake decorating skills. I decided to rely on years of practice with paper-piecing during scrapbooking. The only difference being I used fruit roll-ups instead of paper. Scott was quick to put the candle in the cake before I got a picture of the cake alone. And to my surprise (and all other mature guests) we couldn't believe how he had positioned the candle. It took his 7 year old son, Layton, to help point out the mistake to Scott when Layton commented, "Look, dad put the candle in for his private parts.....cool!"

That is too funny! The cake looks great, and it's nice to know you can always count on Scott for the finishing touch!

That is our Layton for us. At least he is now using the word 'privates' instead of 'donkey'. Got to love that Layton aka Luke!

Dear Rushings,

I love reading your blog, even if it makes me blush sometimes. I so very much enjoyed your Christmas card as well. My wife and I were wondering if we could borrow "Harriet" or "Simone" for a week this summer since our efforts to have kids haven't paid off yet. (I still can't believe you named your kids after me!)

Anyway, not much going on here at the ranch. Several hefers have had their calves this week. We have 32 horse stalls out here but no horses...yet. My wife saw someone hit a feral boar hog last week and we raced in the van to go get it after she came home. We now have 50lbs. of "roadkill sausage" in the freezer. Want some?

I guess this week Scott hits 40...hard to believe. I still remember hiding behind the construction vehicles with his two sisters watching him propose. Such a beautiful beginning with the tears, the kiss, an embrace and 17 years and five beautiful children later, here we are. (do you really think Sonya would have let us go without watching?)

Take care and see you soon.

Harry

ps. I need some ranch hands this summer so anyone who wants to come work is more than welcome!

Hauʻoli Lā Hānau Scott!

Heather sends us at least one vacation deal to look at each month. In September 2020 she showed us a sale on airfare to Hawaii over Scott's birthday. We had such a fun time there in January 2020 that it didn't take us long to commit and we booked airfare to Maui. We soon realized we couldn't find any affordable lodging in Maui that also offered free cancellation. Generous cancellation policies are definitely a must in these crazy COVID times. Heather found a good deal on lodging in Kauai so we changed our airfare from Maui to Kauai. Yes! Everything was finalized! Well that was until it was declared that all visitors to Hawaii would be required to show a negative COVID test, from one of their approved testing sites, to get off the plane in Hawaii. That was discouraging so we then changed our plans and flights to spend the week in Cancun. Finally we knew where we would be spending Scott's birthday week! Or not. With just a little over a week before our vacation date, the ...

So here is a look at our trip to Paris.  It might be more than most of you care to read!  I just copied and pasted emails we sent home while on our trip.  This is more for my benefit than anyone else's since this blog is the closest I have come to keeping a journal.  Hope you enjoy the journey- we sure did! View from our Seine River Cruise Day One We have the tiniest little room way up at the very top of a very narrow skinny hotel. It reminds us of the love dungeon (our first basement apartment) but it is up at the top so we called it our "love tower"! The bed is a double and you can only stand up straight in the room if you are standing on Scott's side of the bed! The tub is half size (I think they made it for Napoleon).  But I slept great. The weather was amazing! After getting in it was too early to get our room so we left our bags at the hotel and walked around for about an hour while waiting to meet up with the Parkers again. We were in the Plaza of San Mic...

Memorable highlights and sayings from 2007

January Highlight: Staying at our friends cabin up by Mt. St. Helens. Just a quick drive up the mountain and we had plenty of snow for sledding and great views of St. Helens. January Quote: Scott and I were in the car with Cassidy. I was complaining about how tired I had been. It didn't see m to matter if I slept 4 hours or 8 hours, I always felt tired. Cassidy who had been relatively quiet up till this point pipes up and says, "maybe you are going through menopause." Scot t and I started laughing and then Cassi dy admitted she didn't even know what that meant, she had just heard it in "F ather the Bride II". (by they way, we believe it is due to sleep apnea, not menopause!) February Highlight: Hosting two BYU Young Ambassadors in our home for a couple days while they performed in the Portland area. February Quote: A fter rushing to find Will's shoes before leaving to r un errands he tells me, "Befo re we go to heaven, we need to remember to put o...
