Week 4

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

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

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

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!!

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!!

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... My neice isn't here to correct me! :)

The past few weeks!

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

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!!

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

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

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

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!!

Mexico

Our first kiss

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

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!!

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

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!!

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!!! :) :)

Livin it up

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??

Coby and I on main street! Ride it cowboy!!!!

Today is Lindsey's 20th birthday!!! Happy birthday girl!! I love you!! We took her out to dinner last night to her favorite Red Lobster. I got chicken strips :) And holy cleevage girl!! Wish I had some...those baby's are HUGE!!

Friday night we went dancing and had soooo much fun!! We danced with every hot guy and didn't even care!! Usually we care! haha But it was so much fun.

Good Times

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.....
