Happy Birthday Jaxon!

Look at the eyelashes on this kid!

Anyway, it's my nephew Jaxon's 5th birthday today. He's so much fun and he's so polite and great to be around. We got to spend about 3 weeks with him this past month and it was so much fun!

I hope he had a very happy birthday! We love you boog!

Zoo Passes

We got passes to the Albuquerque Zoo this year and we've already had so much fun! So, if you ever want to go to the zoo, call us! We want to go too!

We were so close to this peacock. I'm scared of birds, so this was stressful for me.

This elephant was so cute! He was playing in the water taking a break from the heat.

The polar bears always make us think they're going to do something fun so we end up waiting forever and never see anything besides them pacing back and forth. Maybe they're worried about something. Ruining their hair in the pool after spending so much time sitting just right in the sun to make it dry in the perfect polar bear 'do? I think that must be it.

Cake Decorating Class

I'm taking a cake decorating class at Hobby Lobby with my fun friend Theresa. I'm quickly finding that "Cake Decorating Class" means "we're going to take all of your money because you need more stuff!" in Hobby Lobby language. But I need it for class right? And I'm going to make cakes for every occasion now, right? Right.

Anyway, it's so much fun and I'm so excited to get to the fondant class! This is my first cake. We were rushed to put the decoration on, and it was really hot, so the icing was super runny, so it could have looked a lot better, at least that's what I keep telling myself.

Shane Wallin Show

Last night we went with our friend Theresa to see her husband Nate Nuckols play bass with Shane Wallin at Doc n Eddy's. It was such a great show and we had so much fun! The band was awesome. They'll be at the same place for the next two Mondays. If you have time, you should go check them out!

Great show guys!

Sweet Spirit Cupcakes

I tried. 

I tried really hard.

I wanted to make cute cupcakes that everyone would be jealous of.

But they came out as what I like to call "Sweet Spirit Cupcakes". 

Not such a great exterior, 

but it's sure got a sweet inside and it tastes awesome!

Happy 4th of July!

Eclipse Midnight Showing

We went to see Eclipse at the midnight showing last night and it was so much fun! My sister Kellie came into town on Monday and she was able to come with us! It was so exciting! So, my mom and my sister got there early and Evan and I met them there and the lines were crazy! I'm always amazed at how many people stay up past my bedtime. I mean, who goes to bed after 10?

We finally got in and watched Jacob bare his wolfy chest for 2 hours. The movie was so good! It was definitely my favorite out of all of them. They included everything they needed to from the book and didn't miss anything. Of course, this is coming from the girl who JUST read the 7th Harry Potter and couldn't remember anything that happened in it while watching the previews for it. I'm excited for that one too by the way. Maybe we have another midnight showing in our future. :)

After all the fun was done we finally got to bed around 3:30 am and I have to be to work by 6:00am. You'd think I would have just stayed awake, I mean, what's an hour and a half of sleep going to do except make me sad that I had to wake up? Well, at 6:30am I looked at the clock and thought, "That 5 looks really weird on that clock. 6:30? What does 6:30 mean to me? 6:30?!? 6:30 means I'm at work by now!" So I looked over and Evan was still asleep too. Shoot! What happened to our alarms?? So we got ready super fast and left. Luckily, Evan has school later than I go to work, so he made it on time, but I was an hour late. Oops! Thank goodness for vacation time!

LOST - Finally Done!

We finally finished Lost! We watched all 6 seasons in the past few months and we were finally able to watch the finale yesterday. It's good to have life back. ;)
