My picture of Dax's treat for this month is terrible as it looks like I was short on frosting--which I wasn't! That being said, these are the best cupcakes I have ever had. This is not my recipe and I can't find where I found it, but here's the recipe:
1 box cake mix (any flavor)
1 cup buttermilk
vegetable oil (the amount suggested on box)
4 large eggs.
Place all ingredients in a bowl and beat with an electric mixer until moistened (about 30 seconds) then increase the speed and beat 2 minutes longer. Fill cupcake liners 2/3 full of batter. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes.

Frosting:

1 stick butter
1-2 T milk
1/2 tsp vanilla
3 cups powdered sugar.
Beat until fluffy.

They are awesome!

Today Greg ran a 5K and the boys a hundred meter dash for Eagle View Community Health Awareness Day. They've all been preparing for weeks. Greg was the first guy to finish in his race and Dax took first and Lucas third in theirs.

Dax is really into racing lately. You can tell that this is his element (at least for the time being). They run around the track at school for PE a couple times a week and he always reports back as to who won. Lots of times he's just right being Bryce or Kaden and some times he wins. Too bad we don't live by the Ogilvies anymore so they could give him a few pointers!

Greg, it brings me to tears to think how proud of you I am! We've finally got a running convert! Not a bad result for your first 5-K too... first place. You guys take care.
