My-Work-Friend-Arron's Birthday

Arron's wife brought this poster to our work yesterday. I kept it in my car and put it up this morning before he got in.

I made Arron a littl tripple chocolate fudge cake with chocolate and Oreo filling in the middle, 2 different types of chocolate frosting on top with crushed up oreos in between the frosting on top! YUM!

I just love 'em

Sunflower Cupcakes

Don't you love these! It's hard to tell in the pic, but these are mini cupcakes, mini oreos, and mini M&Ms. We were invited to sunday dinner at a neighbor's house and we were in charge of dessert. Branden made a 2-layer icecream cake with Oreo crust and I made these Oreo sunflower cupcakes. These cupcakes got the Branden stamp of approval. He told me these were "probably the cutest cupcakes [I've] ever made"

Bear Lake on the 24th

This is one shot of Bloomington Lake. There is a cool rope swing (see below) and you can see Branden about to drop into the water.

We found a floating log in the FREEZING cold lake and convinced ourselves that it would float and it would keep us semi-out of the frosty water. When we jumped on, it kind-of tried to sink. So we had to flap our arms in the water to keep it "floating".

Rope Swing

My cousin Amanda and Brandenwent off of the swing at the same time. Guess you can tell who was heavier and hit the water first!

This is a pic of the first lake that you get to on your way to Bloomington Lake

Wilsons in the Woods

We went 4-wheeling today up AF Canyon with the Wilson clan. All of the boys in this picture are Wilson cousins.

Nerd Quiz: Do you know these answers?

So, no pics with this post. But I just LOVE my nerdy husband! He has a strange and entertaining love for all things superhero and sci-fi. These things actually happened last night:

-Branden made me rewind the TV so that he could watch the preview for AirBender....twice
-He begged for the code on the TV so he could watch Gladiator (I don't want to get comments about this. It's legit, ok. I just lock the rated R stuff)
-We watched 15 minutes of Community last night and there was a Halloween party and the dude that was dressed up like Batman had some really good one- liners, which Branden proceeded to quote until bedtime.
-And last, but not least, we had an Avatar quiz while lying in bed with our eyes closed (seriously, who needs a bedtime story). See if you can answer the tough trivia Avatar questions I asked Branden:

1. What is the name of the "least glitchy" machine that Jake links into when Grace makes them move up to the station in the floating mountains?
2. There is a picture on the fridge in the station. What is the picture of?
3. What does Natiri call Jake at first (i.e. his nickname that means "Stupid")
4. What are the flying creatures called that they ride?
5. When you get your own "flying creature," how do you know which one is yours?
6. What is the natural resource that is being mined on Pandora?
7. The white seeds that float in the air and come from the tree of ______ and are the most _____ spirits
8. What is the name of the place that the Omaticaya live?

B-day Cupcakes & Rodeo

So this is a pic of Jourdyn and her awesome boyfriend. He is Branden and Melanee Approved! He meets all of the criteria:
1. NO FANCY PANTS
2. No dude shirts with fleur de lis and angel wings
3. Receding hairline/bald
4. NOT a DUDE
5. Can look you in the eye and have a normal conversation




Happy 23rd B-day Jourdyn (on June 23rd). It was so kind of her to help me make her some birthday cupcakes!

On Saturday night Branden's family and us and Jourdyn all went to the Pleasant Grove Strawberry Days Rodeo. Thanks mom for the free tickets every year! The strawberries and cream were yummy, as usual!

Everyone got their turn holding baby Blake but I may have hogged him the longest! He fell asleep in my arms....so CUTE!
