Beginning of Summer Fun and the Perfect Pound Cake

We have some great news we sold our house!! We are so excited and to celebrate I made us a pound cake. This recipe is from Pioneer Woman and it uses 7up. If you are looking for an easy and delicious pound cake this one is it!! Today marked the beginning of our summer fun activities. We listed all the fun stuff Jason and I want to do with Liam this summer and put them on popsicle sticks. When we are finished we put the stick in the We Did It jar. Today was ride a bike and since Liam did not have a bike I thought this would  happen more towards the end of summer. Today we went to goodwill. We go every week and I get almost brand new toys and clothes for Liam. When we walked into the store I saw this Radio Flyer bike and had to get it for him. Liam actually would never have let me leave the store without it. As soon as he saw it he got on and stayed on it the entire time. Normally I have to chase him around, but not today thanks to his new Radio Flyer bike. We played outside as soon as we got home and he got to show it off to his Daddy. What a great way to start our summer fun!!
