Randomness...

Just some random pictures from last week. My parents were here for a week and a half - we had lots of fun.

Bread....

I have had the flour in my pantry, and making it on my "to do list." Well, I finally got around to it. When making it, I always think, "This is pretty easy, why don't I do it more often?" Still no answer to that. But, it looks great and tastes even better.

Money, Money, Money...

It has only taken me two weeks to get around to posting this. My bad. My mother-in-law wanted to give my niece money for her birthday, but wanted to give it in a different way. So, after a couple of nights getting ideas and creating... here is the final masterpiece. I think it turned out pretty cute. From what I hear, it was a big hit.

SCHOOL'S OUT FOR SUMMER....

Yep - school is done. Time for some relaxation! No plans set yet, but I am working on some. My parents are coming next week, so that should be fun!

I forgot to post a cute card that I made for mothers day. I am lovin the poppies lately.

Also, this weekend we tried something weird. Praline bacon and chocolate covered bacon. I know it sounds weird, but it was tasty!!

Battle Creek Falls

Saturday, we decided to get out of the house for a little bit. It was perfect timing, since it has been raining all week. And, actually as we got in the car to go home, it started raining. It was a nice little hike. We asked this guy up there to take our picture. He thought he was Mr. Photography - a little cocky. He took like 10 pictures at all different angles and he was trying to be all artistic. When he gave the camera back he said, "Several of those pictures will be framed and hanging on your walls soon. I took some great pictures." Wow. Ok. Got them home downloaded them - Mr. Photography - not one picture turned out. They were blurry, or we weren't even in them!! So, the picture here is the best of the worst. Note to self.... the pictures we take ourselves are much better!! Oh well. It was a fun anyway.
The first two we took ourselves, the last photo was the best of the worst.

Basketball and Birthday

I have been trying several months to get some BYU basketball players in my class. I have my room plastered with life size posters of the team. My class has really gotten into the spirit. Finally, we got someone to come in. I told my class I had a surprise for them. They were so excited, watching the clock until the time arrived. They couldn't believe it, when I told them Noah Hartsock was coming. They were so excited and loved every second. It was a fun day.



Also, yesterday was Em's birthday. I made a little birthday banner that turned out pretty cute.



We had a yummy dinner and great dessert. I can't believe how old she is now. She is fun to have around. (I was sick earlier this week, and between she and P, I was well taken care of. Thanks guys!)

This Little Piggy....

So, these are the piggy cupcakes that I made for the family "picnic." It actually was too windy to go outside, and we had to go indoors. But the piggies don't matter where they go, just as long as they are invited!



Also, the race was yesterday. It was a beautiful day for running. I haven't been able to train as much because of the weather. Despite, we all did a great job. My race time was 3 minutes faster than my last race. P - increased his by over 9 minutes. Overall, it was a good day.
