Cakes lead to Treason...

WARNING:

THIS CAKE IN NO WAY REFLECTS THE OPINIONS OF THIS BLOGGER OR ITS AFFILIATES!

...let me explain. I volunteered my cake decorating skills (or skillz, if you will ;) to make our friend Dallin's first birthday cake. Shannon (his mommy) told me I could choose the theme of the cake. Hmmm...what a big responsibility. Should I go for the hip pirate cake? A Cars cake? Everyone likes Mickey Mouse... I think he likes dinosaurs, so I decide to go for the dinos! But I get to Michael's and there aren't too many dinosaur cake decorations. So, I start thinking...Dallin's dad, Seth, loves-and I mean LOVES-football, so I will make a football cake. The only problem is that he LOVES BYU Football...the bane of my existence! But I decided to take one for the "other team" and treat Dallin to a Coug Cake. I think he liked it, but not as much as his daddy.

To my fellow Utes: please forgive me for committing such an act of treason!

I also ended up making a dinosaur cake too-the one Dallin got to dig into!
Happy Birthday, big D!

How Awesome Is This??

For my birthday, Sean (& Lucy) made me this awesome

Junior High Style candy bar poster!

Isn't it fabulous?!?

Happy Birthday Girlies

We got to spend some time with the birthday girls (Kimber and Ashley) and their hubbies (David and Chad) at Lake Arrowhead when we were in Cali. These are some of the choicest humans we know and we were so happy to see them if but only for a moment...
**Ashley was a natural with Lucy; She is going to be a killer new mommy of the little dude on his way.**

We spent the night on some wicked comfy bunk beds,
and this was the view from our window when we woke up in the morning.


We had a nice breakfast prepared by the boys and got to eat it out in the fresh air on the deck.

David enjoyed, I mean really enjoyed, the milk of the chocolate variety.

We climbed to the top of the fire look-out to get a view of the San Bernardino Valley.

The Park Rangers let us use the binoculars...and boy did we take advantage!



What a fabulous way to celebrate the 27th and 30th anniversary of these lovely ladies' births!

Happy 28th Sean!

Today, July 8th, is a great day! It marks the anniversary of Sean Michael Young's birth. We wish we could be with you to celebrate, Sean, especially with a pink unicorn pinata!! Here's hoping that you have a great day. WE LOVE YOU!!

Halloween Hootenanny!

I have always loved Halloween (isn't it obvious with my 3 different costumes?!?) but I think it is because it is so close to my birthday, so this year we combined the two to have a birthday/ costume party!! Sean and I dressed up as the classic american couple.

Everyone who attended was required to wear a costume and I am happy to say that they all did. We held a contest for various costume categories: Best Couple, Scariest, Funniest, Most Classic, and Best in Show. Here are the winners:

Best Couple: Jared & Debi Lee as Buster and the "Loose Seal" from Arrested Development

Scariest: Will Traynor as the Phantom of the Opera

Funniest: David Pulispher as Tobias, the "never nude", from Arrested Development.

Most Classic: Ashley Poole as a Girl Scout

Best in Show: Ryan Plewe as the Shower from Karate Kid
