Days full of Baking!

My Friend and I decided to try our hand at cupcake pops Bakerella gave us the instructions and we tried it out. It was a lot of work but a lot of fun!

This is what they look like once we dipped the tops in white chocolate I can't wait to try it again with different sprinkles and different colored chocolate!

And here is the final product, Individually wrapped and pretty tasty, look at www.bakerella.blogspot.com to see all of her different cupcake pops!


Here is one of my favorite things that I make, my rice krispy tower! I made this one for my friends birthday, I alternated each layer with fruity pebbles and plain rice krispy

One of my co-workers asked me to make cupcakes and a cake for his daughters 2nd birthday party I made one batch of my oreo cupcakes and another batch of white chocolate raspberry cupcakes, I think I found a new favorite, the frosting was so delicious!


Ta Da!! Here is the Elmo cake I had so much fun making it!!

Two of my other dear friends are getting married too! Nichole's roommates had an engagement party for Nichole and Chris, we took this picture so we could send it to Rachel, poor girl was quite overwhelmed by all the news! Mine is the pastey white hand on the bottom! I can't believe we are all getting married within 3 months of each other, Nichole is June 25th, Laura is August 8th and i'm September 4th! It's funny how life works we could have never planned for this to happen it just did! The next few months are going to be extra exciting, planning a wedding and getting two other's before my own!




Here's Chad and I at the party, it was nice to see all my friends and get to show them the ring.



I wish I would have thought to get a picture of all us girls but at least I got one with Laura and Nichole.

I'm Engaged!!!!

Chad proposed last night! I told him all I wanted was to be surprised since he told me the day he bought the ring, he told me the day the jeweler called him to tell him when it would arrive, and then he even told me the day he picked it up! He was just too excited! I did get my wish, he completely surprised me. He kept telling me he was going to do it after finals because he needed to focus. Well I took my last final yesterday and apparently he was just waiting until I finished mine.
I went over to his house last night because we were going to dinner. He took me into his room and told me he had something special to give me, so he held it behind his back and told me all sorts of sweet things and all I could think of was that he was going to get down on his knee in his bedroom!!! Then he said "I hope you accept this gift as a symbol of our love" and all I could say was "What are you doing?" Then he whipped out a fake tattoo from the gas station! He knows how much I love gas station tattoos! Then he told me he knew a great place to go to dinner and he drove us up the canyon. We had been driving for a bit and I told him, you know I am out of gas and he was like "do we need to turn around and get gas? and I told him I didn't know because I didn't know where he was taking me and he said "to the top!" So I told him I didn't know if we would have enough gas and he said "oh great, that ruins everything" that's when I started getting the hint that something was going to happen. So he took me to dinner at Silver Fork Lodge up the Canyon and he said so many sweet things and then he told me he had a question to ask and that's when he opened the ring and asked me to marry him!! So here we are at Silver Fork Lodge just getting engaged!!!

My mom took this picture of us a few weeks ago. I told Chad we have to start getting more pictures of us, he doesn't like pictures and that is why we don't have any!

This is on our way to Las Vegas we spent Valentine's shopping in Vegas!



This was the very first picture we ever took, it was on Christmas Eve, I was recovering from my tonsilectomy and these were our Christmas presents to each other.
