First Attempt.

Today was my first attempt at cake decorating. Now most people don't even know why I would even try that.. but right now I've decided that after I graduated school, I'm going to open my own bakery! I absolutely love baking, so I got the idea in my head, and I've just kind of ran with it. I've been trying to bake different things that I could use, and today I tried the decorating. 

This was an extremely long process because you have to bake the cake, then make sure it's cool enough to put icing on it.. so on and so forth.. 

So here's the finished project.. It's not much. But it's a start! Soon I'm going to try doing fondant, which opens up a whole new world to cake decorating!


(can you tell what it is?)

I'M 19!!

I'm officially 19! And does it feel any different???? Not a bit. But, that doesn't mean that it wasn't an awesome birthday! It started off by me putting in a couple hours of work, and then I was supposed to import some data for a local Real Estate agent. But after about an hour of working on that, he called and said something was wrong with the program. So I went and took the laptop to him, went tanning, visited Angie, and then came home and started getting ready for my date with Tyson. He kept the whole thing a secret, so I had no idea what we were going to do. 

6:00 came around and he pulled up to my house with a 200 bud bouquet of flowers, and then we went to dinner at my favorite place.. Fiesta! :)  after Fiesta, I realized that he had this blanket pinned up in his car blocking my vision from the back seat. He kept telling me not to peek, so I didn't. 

We drove up to Nampa, where we were looking for the Civic Center, (mind you I still had no idea what we were doing.) We eventually found it and as I see all these people here and they're taking tickets I have no idea what we're doing. So after standing in line for a while, he finally told me that we were going to watch the BYU Ballroom dance team.. It was so awesome!! It make me want to do the Cha Cha, the Rumba, the Jive, and every other dance they did!!

We drive home, and he takes me to the park where I finally get to see what's in the back.. When I open the back door, I see the whole seat covered in balloons and the whole back is decorated like a birthday party! He had bought a personally brownie cake type thing that was absolutely delicious, put a candle in it and sang happy birthday to me! Finally he gives me my present, and it's an adorable Pea-coat that I saw at X-helo in Ontario and fell in love with!! It was an awesome birthday and I had an amazing time!!









Fall time!

I absolutely love fall. I was sitting in my office at work and we had the door open. I was doing some work on the computer when all of a sudden a wind of fall air came in and I was so excited!! It felt like fall, smelled like fall, so I just assumed IT WAS FALL!! 

One of my favorite fall activities of all time is pumpkin carving. Now I know it's a little early to carve, but I just couldn't resist!! I finally got one of those pumpkin carving kits, and let me tell you what! They work!!! I was so excited especially when it was all done! 







Big Nasty

So I know what most of you are thinking. What in the world is the Big Nasty?? It's actually a huge motorcycle hill climb that comes to Big Willow every year. Riders from all over the country come and enjoy the white trash that comes out.. oh, and the hill climb. ;)  


But I had never been there before and neither had Tyson.. so he decided to get tickets for it, so we went! It was so hot that I felt like I was going to pass out, so we actually went and sat in the car, which produced these pictures.. :) (And the video is of the Metal Mulisha, a group of teenage riders that are awesome riders... but we never caught the back flips they were doing.. )

Enjoy!
