That picture of your brother and the cupcake made me laugh out loud at my computer. Glad to see you all together and doing well. :)

Ashley--> I had 2 more photos in the series with my brother "eating" the cupcake from behind...I should have posted them all! :) It was so nice to be with the family for the past week and a half.

Glad to see you're holding up! I hope Jeni's helped, I finally had my first taste over the weekend. It lives up to the hype!

Ashley--> Thanks Jess. :)

I've been out of the blog loop for a week or so... the new blog is BEAUTIFUL!! Hope you had a great time with your family :)

Is that picture at Chargin falls? We go there all the time when we visit my husband's family in Cleveland! Any chance you'll be visiting your family the first weekend in May?? That's the next time I'll be there. :)

[Angela]

Love these picture posts. Your family is so lovely. :)
That cupcake looks like it should be in my belly.

Oh my gosh! Jeni's ice cream! I've been dying to try this for so long. I live in Dallas, and the only place I've seen it is at a specialty grocery store (and it's $9 a pint!). I'm going to buy one this weekend!

[LizAshlee]

Your family rocks! :)

[Katie @KatieDid]

[Taylor @ Nuts for Apples]

JENI'S!! I love it! I live right by the one in the Short North here in Columbus...brown butter almond brittle is so good...My favorites are the wildberry lavender & the goat cheese with cherries!

[jessica @ how sweet]

Friends, family, ice cream, cupcakes with blueberry frosting? Sounds like a fabulous day if you ask me!

[Katie]

AhhH! You hung out with Jess!! I'm sooooooo jealous!! Have a safe trip back home, friend.

I love Jeni's!!

Hi Ashley! Not going to lie, I was pretty bummed you came to Chagrin and didn't let me know! :) I live not even a mile from the falls. How funny if I would have run into you two! Hope you had a great trip home! We will have to get together next time you come in town! I know things are always so hectic when visiting the fam!

Ashley--> I'm so sorry to have not gotten a hold of you! It was such a whirlwind of a trip with my grandpa's passing. Jessica's visit was very last minute, and we literally decided to run out to Jeni's on a whim right before she headed back to PA. We'll definitely get together in June!
