Cakes!

 Our ward had a cake and service auction last night as a fund raiser for girls camp. Mom is the Assistant Camp Director, so to ease some of her stress I volunteered to help. Kessa and Sadie had to each make a cake. They have been so busy with school and softball, so I volunteered to make their cakes. Not sure if I realized how much I had signed up for. . .but it gave me a chance to try out some Pinterest recipes!


I also wrote the cake description's for the MC to read, so people would bid.

Rainbow Cloud Cake: Have you ever wondered what a cloud tastes like?  The winner of this rainbow cloud cake won't have to wonder anymore! This two-layer lemon cake, smothered in cheesecake frosting, sprinkled with flaky coconut and fruity skittles will leave you craving more!  Who cares what's at the END of the rainbow? You've got the actual rainbow!  Topped with re-usable rainbow decor, this cake is sure to brighten up any rainy day! Bid on it, Eat it, Taste the Rainbow!


Popcorn "Cake": Picture This. Start with popcorn, slathered in rich butter. Add crunchy pretzels and chocolate-y m&ms. Next, mix in creamy, sticky marshmallow sauce. Yum!  This popcorn "cake" take guilty pleasures to the next level. Grab warm blanket, your favorite movie and cuddle up with a few slices of this delicious treat. Who knew happiness came in the form of crunchy chocolate marshmallow popcorn?

Delicious--right!? YUM! We had a lot of fun!

Alex Goot

If you know me, you know I've got a crush on quite a few men around. . .and Alex Goot is no exception.  Once you hear the first 3 seconds of one of his covers, you'll fall for him too. . .and when you hear his original songs, you won't be able to help from falling in love too. 

First a cover of We Are Young:


Now an original: Pretty Eyes


And finally, just to make you dance and laugh: Call Me Maybe


Are you in love? 
Yeah, I thought so.

JB

So a good friend recently commented and said the only thing I was missing from my blog was a quote from Justin Bieber. She was so totally right!!! ;) I might have taken that a bit to far--but let's be honest folks, there can never be too much JB. Love you biebz! MUAH!




love these guys!



“I'm telling you, people. Everyday we wake up is another blessing. Follow your dreams and don't let anyone stop you. Never say never.”




“I'm just a regular 16 year old kid. I make good grilled cheese and I like girls.”


“Haters will say what they want, but their hate will never stop you from chasing your dream” 





"You were born to be some body, maybe a vet, maybe a hero, maybe a care giver. What ever it is you were born to be some thing special and if you believe you can achieve.” 


the faux-hawk!


“Its a Bieber world live it or die.” 






“No matter how much I try, I cant figure out how to not be adorable!” 






"A girl has to have a beautiful smile, Beautiful eyes and she should have a good sense of humor. She should be Honest, loving and trustworthy."

 

Oh biebz. . .now I have to go get the Autobiography. What a stud!!!

things that bring me happiness

I heard a quote recently: "figure out who you are and be the hell out of that."  That's the point of life--right? I'm learning more and more about myself and really enjoying it; now I've just got to BE myself always, everywhere, with everyone. These things bring me happiness and I'm trying to fill my life with things that make me happy. No more pretending to be someone that's not me. This is my time. As long as I'm happy and proud of the way I act, then that is all that matters. Not everyone has to love me or want to be my best friend. Those people that still love me for the way I act as ME. . .those are the people I want to keep in my life, the ones I want to be with. Thank you for being those people in my life--love you!
