Busy Busy Summer!!

Sleepovers!!

Chad's neice Hailey and I had a sleepover one night and we baked all night long! She was a great sidekick! We decided that baking is even more fun when you wear cute aprons and feather boas!

Here's Hailey mixing her cupcakes

Hailey wrote my name on my forehead with frosting

Here's Hailey's cupcakes she made one for each member of the wedding party! The dark blue gel didn't show up on the chocolate but there is a letter on each one for all the names

She made a new friend with Ozzy, he loves to lay on his back and have his arm pitts rubbed, what a weirdo, he was in 7th heaven with Hailey

Another Birthday Party

A co-worker asked me to make a monkey cake for his nephew's first birthday, I was a little out of my league since I am definitely not an artist I don't free hand anything. My mom, sisters and I were laughing so hard as I started because we thought it looked like a teletubby!! I figured a 1 year old wouldn't be able to tell the difference! Apparently he just ripped into it anyway!

These are the new cupcakes I made for the party, they are a chocolate cupcake with a Reese's baked inside then a peanut butter frosting piped on top with another Reese's, if you like peanut butter these are the cupcakes for you!

First Wedding, which means mine's getting closer!!

My good friends Chris and Nichole finally got married on June 25th after dating for 3 years!! We were all really excited for them to finally take the plunge even though it has seemed like they have been married forever! This is us girls with Nichole after the ceremony

Here is Chad and I just posing for a pic!

Laura caught the bouquet, which is funny because she's the next wedding on August 8th

Here's another one of Chad and I under the tent, she had her reception in a big beautiful backyard and then they had a big tent.

Desolation Lake

One night after work Chad was dying to go on a hike and I was dying to get away from all my stress at work so we headed up to Desolation Lake it was so pretty! It had been raining and just cleared up as we started, so the sky was so pretty.

I told Chad to strike a pose!!

On our way back Chad bent over and pulled out his pocket knife and cut me a little bouquet of flowers it was so cute! I held them the whole way down and when we got home I put them in this little vase!

Happy 4th of July

Chad and I headed down to Delta for the 4th, it's my favorite place to be on this particular holiday. Kaitie, Chad and I started out Friday night camping in Oak City Canyon, we made a fire and cooked tin foil dinners then pitched the tent which turned out to be a good thing because it dumped rain on us all night long, surprise surprise. We woke up the next morning to a tent full of spiders and I HATE spiders the inside zipper was broken so they all found refuge from the rain in our tent! We then headed back down to town and watched the parade it's my favorite parade because they throw lots of candy!

Here's Chad enjoying the parade from his lounge chair

I am out with all the kids picking up candy, I kept waiting for all the good stuff like Frooties, those are my favorite, but unfortunatley we were up to our ears in salt water taffy, the first few pieces are good then you're just sick of them!

Here's Kaitie and I with my Grandpa, he is such a stud!!!

Here's my awesome Gram in her bling bling shades, they have rhinestones on the sides! She has been battling breast cancer and we are happy to say she's cancer free right now!!

Here's Chad and I waiting for the 35th annual Delta Demolition Derby, we had to go an hour and a half early to get good seats, it was soooo hot, but people watching made it worth it!

The red truck is my uncle, he ended up taking 3rd place!

Chad got to experience the Delta Rez we my mom's friend has property out at the resevoir and they were there with their boat so we went out and boated before our big party we had back at my grams. We had the whole family and then some for a big party my gourmet cook Aunt's made a huge spread of food, we all ate until we were sick!!
