Tied the Knot

These crazy kids finally got hitched

They look so good together and I'm so glad i could be there for the special day

I love this picture, i think its so cute. Can you guess where i am?

OK so along time ago i blogged about doing Brins wedding cake and said i would let you know when the wonderfulness happened, well it happened and here it is. It wasn't the easiest thing i have ever done but it all worked out in the end and Brin was happy. The last few months Brin kept saying, " Are you sure you can make my cake, are you sure?" i kept reassuring her it would be fine so I'm glad she approved.

And then they sailed away to Mexico, to start there happily ever after story.

March Moments

March started out with a bang, this crazy lady turned 50!

I cant believe my mom is 50 but i will say this for her, she looks dang good for her age and i hope i can look at least half as good as she does when I'm 50. Happy Birthday Mom, i love you. So my mom came up for about a week around her birthday, i better correct myself cause i know you are mom, she came down to visit us in Utah. My mom and i were talking one day about this crazy world and i made the comment that if anything ever happened i would walk to her. I was ponder what i had said one night and it hit me, i would be more then willing to walk miles and miles to get to my mom but was i willing to walk miles and miles and miles to get to Christ. My answer was yes i most definitely would and this conclusion lead me to think that Christ isn't here right now asking me to literally walk to him but i should be taking steps in his direction every day by doing the little things i can be doing each day to get closer to him so that eventually when he does ask that of me i will have already been walking in his direction. So my question to each of you is, Are each of you doing the things you need to be doing to take a step closer to Christ and would you be willing to walk to him?

So the next moment that happened in march was, I decided to take a cake decorating class. It was a four week class and it was alot of fun.

This is cake number da uno

These are the clown cakes, not the pretties things

But i think this guy is pretty dang cute

This was my last one i made, it tasted delicious

And for the grand finally, drum roll please..... Todd and I made a monster truck for his cousins birthday. It was way fun and turned out pretty good.


Next order of business, Triple Date Night.

I wish you could of been there everyone, cause it was a blast and you were all missed.

Moving on, I wish that spring would just get here already. I want warm weather so i can go for walks and play tennis but mostly i just am ready to see some flowers and the wonderful colors that spring brings.

So here is a beautiful bouquet of flowers, that i wish i could send to every one of you but since i can't, this is the best i can do, enjoy.

This is me signing off

Lick ya later

Blew Open

This is way over due but here it is........



I'm not a fan of the cold, so i have never wanted to go snowboarding. But i guess there is a time to try new things and i just happened to get a great story out of this new adventure.



I was going snowboarding and was surprisingly excited. I wore 3 pairs of socks, 3 pairs of pants, 1 tank top, 2 long sleeve shirts, 3 sweatshirts, 1 coat, 3 beanies, 2 pairs of gloves, and 1 bandanna. Like i said, i hate being cold!

Shoving my face with food before we go

Oh im so so excited to go snowboarding face

Ready to hit the snow, literally

Sisters

Sisters (i can't remember how the rest of the song goes dad)

So Brin and I are just having a jolly time, falling, laughing, and falling some more. I think it took us an hour or longer to get down the stupid hill, we thought we were having a hard time, little did we know what awaited us down the hill.

We get down the hill to find danny injured, Yes he ran into a tree!

Injury #1- 4 stitches

Injury #2- 8 staples, i swear i could see his brain

This is the best part of the whole thing, the crazy nurse pictured here ^^^

She walks in and announces to us, that she is so tired and hopes she is able to do this, puts us all at easy. Then danny asks " im so hot, can i take off some of my clothes?" Crazy nurse responds " yea you can take some of your clothes off." Danny, "really?" Loopy nurse, "well.. within reason."

And my favorite quote of the night, danny, " how did that happen to the top of my head?" Nurse Patty, " It looks like it just Blew open."

Super Bowl Sunday

I've never been a huge fan of the Bowl, except for the one year the Titans were in it and they didn't even win for me. But i am a huge fan of seating around and eating good food while watching the game. So all i wished for this year was for a good game, good food, and a great office. All me wishes came true, we had lots of good food to eat and way to much like always, the game was really intense all the way to the end, i just wish it would have ended a little different, and the office. What can i say it was all kinds of crazy, which is why i love it!

It's the life

When i was a sophomore in high school i had to go down to the dreaded Lampson stadium to play a soccer game. It was dreaded because we had to play on turf, now i'm not talking about the nice turf that they have now, it was like playing on cement. I was a forward and my job was to score, no matter what, which usually intelled me sliding on the grass and getting lovely raspberry's all over my legs. My dad use to tell me that girls legs were meant to be pretty so i needed to take care of them better. It was a known fact that you should not slide on this turf. Well me being the smart person that i am and always listening to my fathers wise counsel, i did not slide on the turf. NOT! Of course when your a real soccer player you don't think about stuff like that, you sacrifice your body for the win and that's exactly what i did. Down i went to score and up i did not come, with no victory. I was helped of the field, my leg looked like it was road kill, we lost and i didn't get to play for about 2 weeks after that.

I would like to say i learned my lesson that day and never slide on turf again. But i seem to like to learn things the hard way and 6 years later i still haven't learned. These are my knee's from our game and though they don't look to bad(the picture doesn't do them justice) they hurt like a mother! But we did have a victory.

Needless to say my dad was right, my legs aren't the pretties thing, especially my knees. But all i have to say to him is, It's the life of a forward and I love it!

A Golden Ticket

I'm sure we all remember watching Willy Wonka and the chocolate factory. I was singing the golden ticket song the other day and keep repeating the phrase, I've got a golden ticket, I've got a golden ticket, and all the sudden it hit me! Only Charlie and a few other kids got golden tickets in this movie and only one. I remember how everyone wanted to find a golden ticket and how I even wished I could some how receive one, even though I was watching a movie. But I have know realized that I have received my golden ticket along time ago and not only have I received one golden ticket but I have been given many.

Can you guess what the Golden Tickets are?

Here's a hint, not only me or a select few can have them but everyone can have Lots!

One more clue, I was given one when I turned 8.

You guessed it! Golden tickets in my world are:

• Baptism
• The Priesthood
• Temple Marriage
• Repentance
• The Sacrament
• Baby Blessing (any kind of blessing)

It was like a bright light all the sudden turning on in my head, Bam! Golden Tickets! I love Bam moments, it's got to be one of my new favorite things. I also love all the golden ticket moments that we get to experience all through out our life's, good or bad.
