DISNEYLAND!!!

2009-11-16T16:29:00.000-08:00

Brad came with my some of my family and I to Disneyland last week! My sister wanted to go for her husbands birthday and asked my mom if she would babysit Tyke. My mom said, SURE! Then my sister said, you can either stay with Tyke or come with us! My mom of course decided to go with and that's how Brad and I got invited too! haha But we loved it and had so much fun!

WARNING! LOTS OF PICTURES!

Brad and Drake waiting to go in!

Apparently they film the Disneyland Christmas parade early and it just so happened to be the first day we were there with Ryan Seacrest! Brad and I were right behind him when he was opening for the parade, so we will be on TV Christmas day!! So everyone look for us!! We were more excited to be on TV then to see Ryan Seacrest! haha It's still cool though!

Brad HAD to make us sit in the front for Splash Mountain and we were soaked!! :)

My niece Blayke, which is 3, absolutely loved every ride! She was even brave enough to put her hands in the air for the ride! She's crazy! She would just laugh through the whole ride.

Brock, Drake, and Blayke

The castle is kinda hard to see but it was so pretty at night!

We took a ride in Toon Town!

And Brad was put in jail for speeding....suprise...suprise...

Had to take a picture by the O for Overson!!

Beautiful waterfall!

Disneyland's freaking tall Christmas Tree

Tyke, I freaking LOVE this kid!!!

Getting ready for the Toy Story ride at California adventure! It was such a cool ride!

I CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF THIS KID!!! I LOVE HIM!!

We were too cheap to buy a picture, so we took a picture of a picture...This was Tower of Terror. It was a lot better than I expected but I screamed the whole time!!! We are in the second row. It's Melissa, Drake, Brock, Ryan, Brad, Me, and My dad.

I'm mad that this was our only group picture cause Brad isn't even in it!! But thanks Mom and Dad for getting a resort for all of us to stay in! Thanks for driving Brad and I home early so he could make it to his class! We had so much fun! You guys are the best!!

Couldn't go with out a picture in front of Mickey!

And last but not least, on Splash Mountain with my sister and brother in law. We made them sit in the front so they could experience getting soaked! Wahaha!! The first drop and Ryan was drenched! Not really sure why he pulled the shirt over his head for the pic...and not really sure what my sister was doing...haha but it's a good pic!

THE END!

Games, concerts, birthdays, and Weddings!

2009-10-17T14:12:00.000-07:00

Ok, so this is Dr. Welch! He is the absolute greatest boss ever!!! He took our whole office to the diamond backs game last month. It was so fun! We sat in the bleacher seats in right field. Those are really fun seats when you have a big group! Thanks Dr. Welch!!!

This is Kelsey and Jordan. Kelsey is pretty much my best friend at work, and now officially after last night, my only single friend left! She is hilarious and I love her.

Look at Brad... HAHAHAHA

Brad took me to the Brad Paisley concert! Isn't he the best! We had a blast and I strongly suggest you to go to the next Brad Paisley concert. He's amazing.

Brad's mom, Dana, turned lucky #50 on the 11Th. We threw her a surprise birthday party and here's her fabulous cake! She told everyone that she absolutely did not want to do anything but dinner for her birthday.....but we couldn't help but making her 50Th birthday awesome! And yes she was surprised and she loved it all!! Happy birthday Dana!

And last but not least, my dear friend Kristen is finally married! She got married yesterday and asked me to do her cake! I was thrilled to do it! It turned out beautiful!!! Don't you think??? And yes, I caught her bouquet....I think I should stop doing that...That's #12!!!! :/

Much needed pictures!

2009-09-20T18:11:00.000-07:00

I finally stole Brads camera!!!!!! Some of these are old, but at least I have them! Don't mind this kinda ugly pic!!! haha This is us at the lake on the 4Th of July!!!! haha It was so much fun!! I never can get enough of the lake.

I got Brad tickets to the Toby Keith concert for his birthday. This is us on the way to the concert. I love this picture.

Trace Adkins opened for Toby. It was such a good concert, although a lot of old people there....weird! We had pretty awesome seats. But look how big Toby and Trace are!! Especially Trace...dang!

Brad's freaking adorable/totally cute nephew Taegen.

Memorial weekend, we went up to their cabin to relax in the freezing cold weather! And so Brad could bow hunt. haha it's bow season! Ross (Brad's dad) loves grilling and he spent most of the day cooking us delicious food!

Awe!!

I got to go scope out some elk with the guys. I was so excited to go, then we hike freaking 10 miles and then waited and waited and waited for elk to come. It was exciting to see them when we did, but so boring in the process of seeing them! I kept saying....is that it? is it time to go back? haha they kept saying NO!! When we first saw one I said "look! there's one!!" haha whoops! I'm not very good at being a hunter, cause you're supposed to be quite.... I think I like it better staying at the cabin cooking. hehe :)

All of us!

I promise I will blog more! Brad surprised me with Brad Paisley tickets :) so stay tuned!

I suck at blogging!!!

2009-09-08T17:52:00.000-07:00

I suck at blogging!!! Actually all I do is work anymore....Monday through Thursday, I work at the dental office, and Friday, and Saturday, I work with April doing cakes! I love both my jobs. I need to be better at taking pictures I know!!!! But I blame Brad!! He has all our pictures and keeps forgetting to e-mail me them! But a couple weeks ago, April went to Europe for a week and asked me to take over some cakes for her. I delivered one, added one tier to another, and did this one from scratch! So I'm posting it to my blog! haha If you saw this cake in person, it was so bright!!!!! The pink was like florescent! It was a super fun cake for a little girl!

Anyway, I know I need to blog more, but no one leaves comments!!! :) Don't worry, I'll make Brad send me pics and blog more soon!!

P.S. Thanks Brandis for rolling balls for the cake and keeping me company and sane on my super stressful weekend! You rock! :)

CHECK OUT....

2009-07-12T20:41:00.000-07:00

MY NEW RIDE!!!!

2010 MAZDA 3

So I finally convinced my dad to just start looking at/test driving cars. We went on Friday and I fell in love with it. We got prices and did a credit check and all that junk and talked them down in price. (I'm a good negotiator, I take after my sister who my dad says was the best) They offered me to just take it home for the day with out buying and just see how I liked it. I was all over that idea, but my dad said NO! and told them we still wanted to shop around. When we got home, we talked about everything and my dad felt really good about the price and the car but still kinda wanted to look around. I, of course, was hooked and wanted it so bad, but my dad still insisted that we waited until they called us! Later that afternoon, I received a call from them....we made some last minute deals....and here I am!!!!!!!!! I'm getting a spoiler put on next week. I can't believe it really happened! I honestly had no intentions of buying that morning, I just wanted to test drive it, but man do I love my PEARL!!! haha (her color is called pearl white, so her name is now pearl! It's a sparkly paint too!!!!!!)

Michelle's wedding cake

2009-06-14T20:56:00.000-07:00

This wedding cake was for my friend at work, Michelle. Her reception was defiantly the best decorated reception I have ever been to. It was so dang cute! Thanks to April for helping out with this cake a little bit and for letting me borrow the stand! You're the best! This cake had wheat grass on bottom with all fresh flowers. Although it was pretty...please don't ever make me do grass again!!!! It was the biggest pain in the butt! haha
I helped April do these cookies for my friend that I did the cake for. She wanted 400 homemade, flowered shaped, pretty big cookies. These are the best tasting sugar cookies I've ever tasted. But I don't think anyone knows how much 400 cookies are, until they actually bake and frost them!!!!!!!!!!!!! They are pretty cute though, I must say....

Big 10

2009-05-24T19:05:00.000-07:00

So life has just been kinda crazy. I've been working 6 days a week and come home exhausted but love what I do! I love my full time job, I wouldn't trade it for anything. I have the best boss in the world! He seriously is so awesome! And on the weekends, I have been helping April do cakes and desserts for weddings which is so fun! I don't every get sick of it or hate going....I LOVE IT! I'm used to being an assistant, I've done it for 3 years, so assisting April is a piece of cake! She is awesome too! She seriously is my idol! Anyway, enough blabbing!! Life kinda sucks right now, but what do ya do...I try to stay busy and get on with life.

Dr. Welch asked me to do his son's birthday cake and made his son think that he wasn't getting a cake at all and when he saw it, he about died! When Dr. Welch saw it, you would have thought it was his birthday!! haha But it was another camouflage cake and I think it turned out pretty good. I wish I could have recorded how Dr. Welch reacted...it was so funny!

Cakes and Britany Spears concert!

2009-04-26T18:13:00.000-07:00

This last week was my niece, Blayke's, birthday. She turned 3 and has been looking forward to her birthday ever since Drake had his in December. I have a photo paper that has a ton of different cakes on it, and every time she comes over she will look at the paper for forever! And she will tell you exactly which cake she wants for her and ask everyone else which on they want! She's so cute! So I have planned for a while to do her cake. I wanted to do a bigger one to practice doing more wedding cake like cakes. I also wanted to try out how it was to do a fake tier. This girl is all about pink and princess!!! So I made it as pink as I could and added bling for her. The bottom tier is fake.

Then, Friday was the Britany Spears concert! Dr. Welch is the best Dr. ever and bought us tickets! And they were actually pretty awesome seats! We had a blast and even though there were some parts that were cheesy or she changed her out fit way too many times, I still made that night so much fun! Thanx for dancing with me Lindsey!! haha

The Pussy Cat Dolls opened for Britany and they were sooooo good!!!!!!!!

Waiting for Britany!

(sorry your head is cut off Kristen! My arm isn't quite long enough!)

Britany is pretty slutty....but it was still awesome! She had circus people there that performed through out the whole concert. Kinda cool.

The group!

And this cake I made this weekend for Brad's little sister Brandis, whom I love more than anything!!!! She is so awesome and we have so much fun together! She has asked me for forever to make this cake for her and I pretended like I didn't have time at all (which I almost didn't...thanx to Dana for stepping in to help relieve some stress when my mom was gone!! haha) She was so surprised when I brought it in to her!! Happy birthday girl!

This design I used from April who is the most amazing cake lady ever!! She is going on Food Network someday, I know it!! I'm sure most of you already look at her blog every day but click on my link to the side for her blog! Thanx April!!!! You're my idol!!!!

Easter Pageant/CAKE

2009-04-13T21:13:00.000-07:00

So this weekend, me and some girls from work went to the Easter Pageant to watch our other friend/co-worker be the angle. She was so cute and did so good! Watching the Easter Pageant, really helped me remember the meaning of Easter and why we celebrate it. Even though I spent Easter all alone this year cause my parents decided they didn't love me anymore.....I had a blast!! I love having the house to myself and doing whatever I want! Or just having the quietness of my own kitchen so that I could make a cake too...

(Dang...Pam's eye's are closed!!! sorry it's the only picture I had! and sorry Amy, you aren't in it! Should have came earlier! WE LOVE YOU!)

The cake I made for the April birthday's in my office. And Denise's birthday is included!!
Happy Birthday girls! And Ashley!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BROTHER!!!

2009-04-05T19:17:00.000-07:00

My brother Mike, has been obsessed with the Dallas Cowboys since I can remember. So I made him a birthday cake for it. He's one of my favorite brothers! When I was born till i was like 7 he would always sing me the song "My Little Buttercup". Then... his daughter was born and he hasn't sung it to me since! :( haha

I LOVE YOU MIKE! HAPPY 37!!!!

It's time...

2009-03-29T21:10:00.000-07:00

FOR A NEW CAR!!!

Goal: SUMMER

Spring Break

2009-03-22T12:15:00.000-07:00

WARNING! LONG POST!

Ok, where to even start! So this last week has been spring break for Brad and I with school and work, and let me tell you how relaxing it was! Brad left the beginning of spring break for SJ to hunt and work on the ranch while I stayed here and SHOPPED of course! Also received my first real professional massage. :) Brad came home in the middle of the week and I surprised him with a new shirt and some socks that you see here! (except not the socks!) I missed him!!

Brads addictions... Chips with cheese dip and TV...

Look how zoned he is...

We are trying to venture out and do more fun things together other then dinner and a movie all the time. We went and played goofy golf and had so much fun! We are both very competitive and had a serious but fun game. And yes...I kicked his butt! Yup..I WON!!

(Sorry this pic is blurry)

He was so upset... hahahahaha maybe you'll beat me next time babe!

This is kinda hard to see, but that's are score card! Luckily I got a picture of it before he ripped it up!

Then, Friday, we went on a picnic for lunch! Thanx to Ned's and a few treats I picked up, we had a fun relaxing lunch. The plan was to eat and then play catch, volleyball, or Frisbee, then hit up the batting cadges...but Arizona is freaking hot and we decided to save that for a cooler time in the morning! haha

Look at your own risk!

Trying to get his tan while he ate...

He apparently has very sensitive eyes and had a really hard time taking a fun picture looking up! haha We really tried this pictured like 20 times! LOL his eyes kept burning and watering...it was so funny!

I got a new job about a month ago at a different pediatric dental office just cause it was more money and more hours! And it was well worth the change. I love my new office. I work with Kristen now and we stay busy but know how to have fun. Dr. Welch has season tickets to the suns game and was so kind as to give them to us!

GO SUNS!

We bought our boys a present at the game! Cute huh! Brad loved the camo!!

Spring break is over... Sad day...

The final product...

2009-03-16T18:14:00.000-07:00

Brad was so kind as to buy me flowers for my new flower pot! Isn't he the best?! ;) I wasn't so sure about my pot when I got it back, but I think it's ok once the flowers are in it! Now hopfully I'll continue to get flowers so I have a reason to use it!

I posted!!

2009-03-02T18:53:00.000-08:00

Ok, so I'm a horriable blogger now!! But this is what has been going on this last week! My friend Erica is getting married on Saturday and we threw her a bridal shower! (well allison mostly did...Thanx girl!!) I made the cake of course! What do you think?

The back view

Me and Kassi

Mallory and I

The gang

And this weekend me, Kristen, and Brandis went to As You Wish and painted pottery! It was actually super fun! If you're anything like my sister you will think it's gay to do that on a saturday night...but seriously, nothing was going on, and we were sick of doing the same ol stupic stuff! haha I made a big vase for the flowers I don't get. Kristen made a plate for her house someday, and Brandis also made a vase for David...haha This is what they look like before they get fired! I'm so excited to see what mine will look like! I did black and red!

Camo cake

2009-02-15T18:52:00.000-08:00

This was another Overson cake! haha Brett is Brad's cousin and this was his birthday cake! He is all about everything camo and literally goes hunting every other weekend. :) Happy birthday Brett! I'm so glad you loved it!

P.S. I'm putting blond in my hair this week!

Suns game/baby shower cake!

2009-01-25T19:32:00.000-08:00

For Christmas, I got Brad Suns tickets! He absolutely loved it! We sat really close too! The game was on the 9th and we played the Dallas Mavericks! WE KILLED THEM! Whoop whoop! Before the game we ate at a restaurant called Cooperstown. Delicious! I would have posted sooner, but I just barley got pictures from it! :) But we had such a fun night!

We got there really early! But we sat in row 24 from the bottom!

(not the best pic)

Dang he's big! and I promise my belly isn't that big! Its the jersey I swear!!!

Ok, this cake, I made this weekend. It was for Brad's sister in law D'Coda. Her baby is due next month and her shower was on Saturday. I went up to SJ's to do it and I was sooooo nervous, but it actually turned out super cute! And chocolate fondant is delicious!! Its made from real chocolate!!! yummm! And yes those are antlers....You can't do a redneck cake without having some kind of design that shows it! haha

The back view

HE'S BAAAAAAAACK!!!!!

2009-01-07T17:04:00.000-08:00

Ok, so I know it's been FOREVER since I last posted, but life was just CRAZY! Brad is freaking home! I still can't believe it! The day he came home was so weird! Everything felt like a dream. It didn't hit me that he was really coming home until the night before, and it was like all of a sudden! So weird! I wanted to put the video of him at the airport but I couldn't get it to upload to my blog. (so mad!) But here we are at the airport waiting for him to walk off the plane! Dana (his mom) and I were freaking out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Him walking out of security!

His mom ran to hug him! She's so tiny that he carried her as he was hugging her!

I was ready to throw up, waiting for him to shake my hand, and HE HUGGED ME! Some of you may consider that bad, but I could care less what you think!

Kristen loves me for putting this one up! But here we are crying! I was doing just fine till she walked up to me balling! Then I lost it! She was there taking pictures for us! Thanx girl! You're the best!!!

This is us in St. Johns! In his truck that he would die if anything happend to it! :)

I went up to SJ on Christmas after celebrating with my family and the day after Christmas, IT SNOWED SO MUCH! Thank goodness I went up when I did. It was freezing there! 2 degrees at night!! Brrrrr!!!

Brad and his dad made us a home made sled! It was so much fun. Freaking cold, but fun! This is Brandis and I ready to go!

My worker man! Him and his dad spent all day chopping that wood and bringing it back for the fire! That's a lot of wood....

Christmas break was a lot of fun. Thanx to the Overson's for letting me stay with them all week and putting up with me! You guys are the best and I love you guys! Thanx for all you did for me! I wish I could post videos of boxing on the wii but my dumb computer won't let me! Hope you forgive me! ;)

We all drove home on New Years Eve so we could spend it in Mesa. Brandis drove home with me and we jammed out the whole way home and screamed karaoke! Oh how I love her!

SJ's has these Fina Burritos that are absolutely amazing! I literally crave them! Weird I know... But you just can't go there without getting 1. I mean 2! or 3...or 4... :) Don't judge me! I was on vacation! haha I hit up the gym first thing after break! :)
Yes we got them for our ride home!

The End!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME! 21 BABY!

2008-12-15T07:45:00.000-08:00

Yesterday was my 21 Birthday. And due to an illness and antibiotics that only made me worse....I was grateful that I celebrated with my friends on Friday!! We all went out to BJ's restaurant for dinner and then back to my house for cake and wii. Thank you to everyone that came!! It was a blast!! It sure will be a birthday to remember!!Thanx to...Kristen, Missy, Kassi, Cody, Brad, Kent, Lexee & Brad, Mallory & Justin, Allie & Josh, Kylie & Brett, Erica & Albert, Caitlin & Robin, Stacey & Dallin, Clint & Jodi, and Wendi & Matt!! (Yes more than half of them were married! haha I wasn't kidding when I said ALL my friends are married!!)
This picture did not get everyone in! And I love how Kristen is peeking her head up as far as she can!! :)

And how could I have a birthday get together with out making myself a cake??? Some of you may think I'm a loser, but hey, I need all the practice I can get if I want to make a business out of this!!

I'M LEGAL!! WHO WANTS TO BUY ME MY FIRST SHOT??

Thanksgiving

2008-12-07T15:03:00.000-08:00

So I know it's a week late, but this was my Thanksgiving! Only a small portion of my family this year. Some of my family was being lame, and others had a good excuse! But we had so much fun cooking, baking, laughing, chit chatting, watching the rain, and looking through ALL of the ads for our freaking early shopping on Black Friday haha. I love my family soooooo much! They are so fun and I wish we got together more often!

Just wanted to do a shout out to my sister! She is the best sister anyone could ask for! (sometimes! jk!!!!) We got pretty close these last few years (since we are 10 years apart!) and always seem to call eachother when we are bored! We have gone through a lot as a family, especially this last year, and I'm so glad I have my sister. I don't know what I would do with out her! I love you sis!!!!! (people say we look a like, but i can never see it!)

And of course I can't forget about Brad! He is doing so good on his mission and is loving every last second of it! His mission president told his mom that he's been such an awesome missionary and is always doing his best. His testimony is so strong, I know he'll be able to convert his family! I can't wait to see him next week!! AHHHH!!

RETURN WITH HONOR

Another girls DAY!

2008-11-22T09:26:00.000-08:00

Friday started off with TWILIGHT! I personally loved it! But then again I only read half of the first book. But I want to start on the second one! :) I went with Brandis (Brad's little sister) it was a blast! I love that girl! She is so fun to be around!

Then, Friday night, was a girls night reunion. Erica, Mallory, Allison, Me, and Kylie, all went out to eat at Red Robin. We caught up on just about everything! haha Everyone of them are married or engaged. Not gonna lie....kinda depressing listening to all their stories! haha just kidding! It was really fun! I just had to keep reminding myself how many more days til Brad gets home! :) :)

We then went to Pizza Mart for old time sakes and got their 50 cent ice cream cones which are SO GOOD. yummm :) We went there probably at LEAST twice a week in high school for lunch or for the weekend! Gotta love Pizza Mart! Mallory was a poop and HAD to go see Justin so thats why she isn't in this picture! hehe I love you Mal!!

And these are just some pictures that Kristen took of me for her photography class! She's good isn't she!! Thanx Kristen!!! Can't wait to send them to Brad!! :)

PS. LOOK HOW MANY DAYS IT IS TILL BRAD GETS HOME!!!! AHHHH!!!

Who loves Sleeping Beauty??

2008-11-09T17:53:00.000-08:00

So this weekend I watched all of my sister's kids for her while she traveled off to Mexico to be alone with her husband. She does it every year, and every year I'm the lucky one that gets to watch them! haha But I really do enjoy watching them. Anyway, my niece Blayke, all she wants to do is watch princess movies and Sleeping Beauty is her favorite! When I was her age that is all I wanted to watch too! My brothers would get so sick of it, that they would tell me that my mom wanted me and while I was gone, they would fast forward it.....awesome huh? haha So Blayke and I watched it a million times this weekend but occasionally threw in Little Mermaid or Cinderella. She is so cute and soooo sweet! You would think she was my kid though for wanting to watch it over and over! haha Oh and Tyke is the most adorable, chubby, sweetest baby anyone could ask for! I really hope mine are as good as him someday! (yeah right with my luck) Hope your trip was relaxing enough to last you another year sister!!

Week 4

2008-11-05T17:14:00.000-08:00

Ok, so here is my last cake of my class. We learned how to make different kind of bows and make 3D objects for our cakes! I wanted to do zebra stripes but I didn't buy black fondant and I wasn't about to mix it myself again! haha But this one isn't perfect, but I think it's kinda cute. I ran out of pink fondant so I couldn't do the ball border on the bottom layer, so just pretend it's there! :) I'm so sad my class is over, but now It got some cute ideas for my own birthday cake! haha it's coming up, so stay tuned!

Week 3

2008-10-28T23:00:00.000-07:00

Here is another cake that I made at my cake class. I seriously have the best teacher! I love her! She is so much fun and really takes the time to help you! I don't get to spend as much time on them as I would like there....so there is some flaws that I didn't get to correct, but other than that, this was a fun one! Oh and I'm not so sure about the colors, but I think it's cute! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE MAKING CAKES!!! Seriously does anyone need one for any event????

Snowflake Road Trip

2008-10-25T14:23:00.001-07:00

So I know I'm a week late at posting, but last weekend Kristen and I took a road trip to Snowflake! We had so much fun! We wish we could have stayed another day, but when you have to pay bills, you gotta go to dang work on Monday! Here are some pictures of us just having fun and cause we wanted to send them to our missionaries! Which by the way are doing so good! Anyway, enjoy! haha

Here we are showing off our huge muscles we are getting from our personal trainer! Look at those babies!! WOW!!

Thanx Kristen for coming with me on the roadtrip! You are such an awesome friend! I had a blast! Especially getting that kid in trouble at TacoBell in the drive through! hahahaha good times!!

Bridal Shower Cake

2008-10-14T23:03:00.000-07:00

I made this cake for my friend Kylie's bridal shower!! I think it turned out really cute! I'm really enjoying making these!! I love the final outcome! So I signed up for a new cake class. My first class was tonight and I had SO much fun at it! I'm so looking forward to next week! I really think I'm going to learn a lot from this class! So I'll keep you posted!! But what do you think about this cake?

HERE HE IS!!

2008-10-08T16:45:00.000-07:00

So I FINALLY got pictures from Brad!! It's about time I know! But here he is!! He's doing so good! He was released as Zone Leader so that he could be put back in the Porteugese area for his last 3 months. He LOVES IT!!! He absolutly loves the language! He says that his new companion is the best one that he has had the whole mission. He also told me that in his new area he is the ONLY white boy! haha They call him Flava Flav and they are teaching him how to shake it! hahaha I still can't believe how close it is till he comes home!! Woo Hoo!!

Weddings, weddings, and MORE weddings!!

2008-09-21T12:25:00.000-07:00

There are so many weddings it's not even funny!! Two of my friends that I grew up with got married this weekend! Caitlin Owens and Julie Rudd! It's so weird. And all my other friends are married too and having babies!! I seriously only have two friends left...Kristen and Kassi. Mallory is pretty much married....she'll be engaged any day, I can feel it! haha Anyway, Kristen and I went to the Mac store and got makeovers for the weekend! I told them I wanted smokey eyes....I think it was a little dramatic...almost too much! haha but it was fun to have them done!
Kassi and I at a reception. I love her!! We used to go TPing all the time!! We would dress up in all black, put masks on our faces and completly trash our enemies houses!!! hahaha good times!! I miss her so much!! I cought the bouquet at Julie's reception. That would be number 7....It obviously doesn't mean anything!!! haha I accidently elbowed Kristen in the throat to catch it....I'M SORRY GIRL!! Caitlin had way to many big girls for her bouquet tossing....I was scared!! And she totally riged it and threw it to her friend in the very front. But I'm pretty sure I would have died in the middle of all those girls if she really threw it. so...Thanx caitlin!!!! :)
Kristen and I go shopping every Friday after Institute. We drove past this street!! Yay for Boston!!! Brad is doing so awesome! He is the zone leader right now in an english speaking program and is really hoping to get transfered back into the porteuges program for his last 3 months. He has another baptism coming up this week I believe. And I'm going to have him e-mail me pictures of him so you can see his sexy self! :) And sorry for not knowing how to spell...

The past few weeks!

2008-09-09T17:10:00.000-07:00

I know it's been a while since I last post but this is the past couple weeks. This is Mallory and I a couple weekends ago. We had a sleepover at my place!! It was so fun! We had NY memories and made FroHo's (frozen hot chocolate) from Serendipity's. We made them excatly how they made them! It was so fun and soooo yummy!! I freaking love that girl. We laughed and gossiped the whole night! love it! Then we woke up the next morning got pedicures! I love being a girl!
This last weekend I went on a road trip to St. Johns with Brad's little sister Brandis. We sang Karaoke the whole way there! She had to go up for her cousins wedding reception because she was in the line, and she didn't want to drive by herself and asked me to go with her. After the reception we hung out with her friend, Kelsey, and drove around trying to fine something to do.....Let's face it...there is nothing to do in SJ....Oh and it was freezing!! 64 degrees!! And of course I didn't bring a jacket...cause who knew it would be cold at this time of year!! haha But we had so much fun. I sure love that girl. And thanx to the Overson's for letting me stay with them and hanging out and feeding me! You guys are the best!!
I'll try to post more often then I was!! Ps. I'm making a cake for my friends bridal shower and I need some cute/fun ideas!! Oh and today Brad has 100 days!!!! Tomorrow is 99...Can't believe we are in the two digets!! Time is going to fly! And I'm so glad! Can't wait for December!!

Baby Shower Cake

2008-08-17T22:03:00.000-07:00

A lady I work with was throwing a shower for her friend and asked me to make her cake. And this is what we came up with. When she told me she wanted feet on the cake, I was a little iffy about it, but I think it was such a cute idea and it came out really good! This one was a little more stressful for me, but thanx to my sister and my mom for helping me figure out the perfect way to arrange it! I'm really enjoying doing cakes, and most of all I love when I show them their cake and they gasp!! haha

TA DA!!

2008-08-08T20:48:00.000-07:00

So this is my first WEDDING CAKE!! It actually turned out so good I think. I had so much fun makeing it, and later realized I stressed way too much over it. But it was my first one, and it had to be absolutly PERFECT! This cake was for one of my best friends/roommate, Lexee. She had a very small wedding, but it truned out really nice. I'm so happy for them. Congrats guys!! So....what do you think?! If anyone needs a cake, I'm pretty cheap!

Memory Game

2008-07-21T14:50:00.000-07:00

JUST DO IT!

Play along with me!! Here is how:

1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember.

2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory of you. It's actually pretty funny to the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you.

Mallory's Birthday Cake

2008-07-06T16:25:00.000-07:00

This is my first Fondant cake! It's a little handicap, but hey, it's my frist try! It really wasn't that hard to do, just took patients. I had so much fun doing it tho! What do you think?? I made this for Mallory's birthday! Happy birthday girl! Maybe next year i'll make you one with no imperfections! haha Hope you had fun yesterday! Ps. I signed up for my cake class and it starts on July 15. I'm super excited!!

Update of Elder Overson

2008-07-02T11:00:00.001-07:00

I just got a letter from Brad, saying that his mission president asked him to stay another transfer. Which means he won't be back till December 19! I'm super happy for him, because that means he is doing so good out there, but of course the selfish part of me is sad. I'm so happy for him. He is an amazing missionary! Everyone is always telling him how much they love him. He just had a baptism on Sunday, and he has 2 more next week. He speaks Portuguese, but is always having to translate to spanish, so he is getting pretty good at spanish and is learning creole too! Crazy!! Also, his mission president asked him to be Zone Leader!! He is excited, but he loves tracting and having crazy stories to tell about physco people! So he is going to miss that. But He is doing everything he is supposed to and even though it feels like he won't be home for forever now....I know it will go fast! What is another six weeks?? I've already waited almost 2 freaking years!! :) All I know is that I'm not leaving his side when he gets home. :) I'll try to post some pictures of him soon. Especially since he is getting so fat!! Not fat...but FAT for his skinny butt! haha He has already gained 35lbs!! And he still has 5 months to go! haha He looks super good though! Can't wait till December!! RETURN WITH HONOR!!

Our first kiss

2008-06-12T11:02:00.000-07:00

This is Morp of my sophmore year. I asked Brad to the dance over the phone. I was so nervous, but I did it! This was the dance I'll never forget. We had so much fun together. I remember the day before the dance, Brad came into town and he STILL didn't have a shirt to match my outfit! We went to the mall to find something, but had no luck. As we were leaving, I saw the small fair outside the mall and begged Brad to take me on the fairis wheel! He told me "Only if you kiss me if it stops at the top" I said ok, thinking it wouldn't stop. So we got on, and sure enough...IT STOPS!! I couldn't believe it. We had our first kiss on top of the fairis wheel. I'll never forget that night. :) :)

Weekend dinner

2008-06-08T18:02:00.000-07:00

Saturday night we went to dinner at Sauce (I don't recommend it) It's right there next to Pei Wei on Val Vista and Baseline. After dinner we went shopping then out to the desert to go off roading and light off fireworks. It was pretty fun till I hurt my back sliding down a hill... haha the ride home was not very fun, but I made it!! haha
This is what Lexee ordered for dinner. It was a chicken ceaser salad pizza. She thought it would be a little bit different then what she got. When she tried to eat it everything fell off....she was so confused!!! hahaha

Chevy cake!!

2008-06-02T17:49:00.000-07:00

So as you know I want to get practicing on making cakes....Well it was my friend Coby's birthday on Satruday, so I made him a cake. He is totally a Chevy man and is always bashing fords, so I had to make him a Chevy cake! This was such a fun one to make and pretty easy. Just wanted to share with you what it looked like! I thought it was kinda cute... haha I used chocolate graham crackers as drit to make that truck look like it's romping in the mud. :) I can't wait to make Mallory's birthday cake! It is going to be so cute!!!

Girls Reunion

2008-05-21T17:57:00.000-07:00

Dinner reunion!!! Last week, Kristen, Wendi, Amy, and I went to dinner to catch up on whats going on in life and to remember our good times in the past! It was a lot of fun! Wendi and Amy are married, and Kristen and I are still waiting for those dang missionaries to come home! :) We said we would do dinner once a month, but everyoen knows how well that always works out! And Kristen, I know you're going to kill me, but I had to post this picture!! hahahahaha

The next night, Mallory, Kylie, Allison, and I went out to dinner to Texas Road house to catch up on the new gossip. Kylie and Allison did not want to take a picture, but they told Mal and I to act like we liked eachother....That still doesn't explain this picture...

I talked to BRAD!!

2008-05-12T13:25:00.000-07:00

So I got to talk to Brad yesterday, becuase of course it was mother's day!! It was perfect!! We talked for a long time actually. Don't worry, he talked to his family like all day but then he called me before he had to go to bed! I know we just talked on Christmas, but we still had soooo much to talk about. He loves his mission so much. He is ready and excited to come home in November, but he really would love to stay there. I told him he had to come home ;) He has a couple baptisms coming up in a few weeks, but he is getting transfered to be a Zone Leader! Yay for him. He told me he would rather stay where he is because he loves being so close to everyone and teaching, but he is ready for the experience of being a Zone Leader too. I'll post some pictures of his mission soon. But just thought I would share how he is doing! Oh and he has gained 30 pounds since he has been out!!!!!!!!!! YES!!!! I'm so happy he is finally getting fat! He isn't fat, but thicker i should say! haha Anyway, he is pretty much perfect and I can't wait till he'll be home!! 5 1/2 months baby!!! :) :)

Sorry it has been awhile since posting!! This is the past couple weeks for me!! This is my dad letting me drive his VET!!!! The rule is you have to be 30 to drive it, but I'm his baby :) J/k!! Are you kidding me??? He probably still won't let me drive it even when I'm 30!! haha so i'm just in my driveway :)

Lindsey and I went to the mall and we found some freaking sexy hats! Don't we look good??

Look how funny this picture is! This is what Brad and I were a couple years ago for Halloween. Of course we decieded last minute that we should probably look for a costume to wear for the party....we looked everywhere and couldn't find anything that we could both agree on...so this was are last option...hahahaha We are such DORKS!! But I loved it. We had so much fun that night! We didn't care what we looked like and danced the night away, well, tried to at least since we were in a fat costume! Look at Brad's feet.....

NY

2008-03-24T20:04:00.001-07:00

This is the NY temple. Different for sure...and in the middle of a million buildings...suprise suprise...They acutally have church services on the third floor and then the actual temple is the forth floor. Strange huh? As soon as you walked in the building tho...it was a total different feeling than outside and I loved it.
Mallory and I in a taxi on our way out for a FULL day of shopping and yummy FOOD! WE LOVE HOT DOGS! HA HA PS.....I GOT MY BRACES OFF!!
This was a funny dude on the table and Planet Hollywood where we ate lunch. Isn't he cute??
View outside our hotel.
Unfortinally, I didn't get to take the fairy to the statue of liberty because there was 8000 people in line and the people at the end of the line were already there for two hours...
My cousin Emali! We had so much fun! Thank you for letting us tag along on your trip!

Burn baby BURN!

2008-03-16T17:47:00.001-07:00

I had to clean out a lot of crap from my parents yesterday and found some old memories and have been needed to be burned for a long time now. I made a phone call to Coby and asked him if he could make me a fire. He got a big group together to go out to the desert. The fire could have been bigger, but any fire would have been good to burn these! Most of you know which X boyfriend this is....and MAN IT FELT GOOD TO BURN THEM!!! And it's about dang time!!! After, we went in Coby's jeep and four wheeled up the mountian! It was so much fun! A little scary since he took his doors off, but it was so much fun! What a good night. :)

Friday morning, I watched my sister's kids for her. Well just Brock and Blayke. We played this elephant game...haha Aren't they so cute! You had to pick up rings with the nose! It was fun!

St. John's road trip

2008-03-02T15:27:00.000-08:00

So, yesterday, Lindsey and I went on a road trip to St. Johns. Brad's little brother, Brennen, got baptized. We left bright and early in the morning for a long ride up the mountains. It was so much fun! Brennen took me for a ride on his quad and almost killed me. He went so fast on this jump that I almost fell off! Then he kept doing wheely's down the street. I think I bruised his rib caige from holding on so tight! lol We also visited their horse's and Lindsey was in Heaven. I gave her a tour of the whole town in about...7 mins. :) The baptism was so amazing. I'm so proud of Brennen and his decision to be baptized. And I know that Brad is too. I love their family! They are so fun to be around. Right before we had to leave to go back home, I asked if I could drive Brad's truck. (It's an old ford that brad completely redid. He loves ol orange. It's his baby. He would die if anything ever happened to it! Literally haha) I took it all around town and I took pictures of it to send to Brad cause I know how jealous he is going to be! haha Even though it was a long trip to pull in one day, we had so much fun!

New York baby!!

2008-02-25T09:56:00.000-08:00

We blare the radio up really loud, and dance all over the apartment while we are getting ready to go out on the weekends! I love them to death. The day our lease is up, is going to be such a sad day, yet so exciting because Brad will be coming home in 3 months!!!

2008-02-18T16:08:00.002-08:00

Brad and I met in high school my sophmore year. He's from a small town called St. Johns. Yes, he is a full blooded RED NECK! He left on his mission December of 2006. He loves serving the Lord and being able to baptize the ones that are searching for the truth like he was. He'll be home in November and all I can say is, I CAN'T WAIT!
