Cupcakes for Colette

Yesterday I threw a baby shower for my best friend from high school, Colette! There was lots of food, games, gifts, girls and babies! She had six babies born in her ward in the past week! I guess thats what happens when you live in Provo, Utah.
The day before the shower was spent preparing the food! Yep, it pretty much took all day. I guess if I were more skilled I could have done it faster, but Matt and I had fun making the ducks. He was such a big help and deserves at least half the credit for everything turning out great!


Here is our watermelon baby carriage. (Sorry the picture is a little overexposed.)


The table display. I dont know if you can tell, but the punch was supposed to be ducks floating in the water. The bubbles are vanilla ice cream!


We had leftover fondant, so I decided we had to make pirate cupcakes for Matthew's neice. It was her birthday this week and she is going to have a pirate party. Arghhh!

Sunday Dinners

Sunday is a great day to spend with family and enjoy some good home cooked food. And if you are Nick, to do your laundry at Grandmas house and not have to pay for it. I was given these pie birds for Christmas and had to try them out. Chicken pot pie and games were a great way to gather the family together.Twinners and Cousins

Turning 24

I dont feel any older...one day doesnt make that much difference, but maybe someday I will feel 24 years old. To celebrate, Matt and I went to the movies to see Lovely Bones. Don't go see it! It will give you nightmares for a week! Of course, Matthew will point out that it was my choice, and it was, but I wasnt expecting serial killers! To comfort our minds and our stomachs we went to Macaroni Grill. It was delicious! Matthew is allergic to shrimp, so it was my chance to order all the seafood I could get, and I didnt share! To finish off the night we headed home to some family, cheesecake, cupcakes, and presents. Thank you to my husband for the wonderful day, gifts, and memories. Nick brought these great cupcakes from The Sweet Tooth Fairy. Thanks Nickypoo, they were delicious!

Disneyland, Quilting, and Presents

We were lucky enough to be able to spend some time with my family while we were down in Southern California. My mom was ecstatic that all her kids were together at one time. To celebrate, we went to Disneyland and had some good times at home. Here are more pictures of our long vacation.My dad collects Father Christmas' so we got this four foot santa to add to his collection. Quilting for Kerstin's new babe coming in March!

Happy Holidays from Sunny San Diego

While our Christmas was not a winter wonderland full of snow and hot chocolate, it was filled with lots of family, warm sun, game playing, going to the beach and more family. We loved it!!! Here are a couple pictures from our happy holidays.
