Shawn & Bon to the rescue

It was my nephew's birthday a few weeks ago and he wasn't feeling too well, so his parents were taking care of him. That meant nobody was there to help out with the cake, so Shawn and I stepped up and helped out! Grai's theme was Spongebob, it turned out to be very cute! I did the Spongebob cake, the pan was the shape of SB, and it had the divets for his eyes, sponges and everything else. It was actually pretty easy to do. Shawn on the other hand did not have help with his. My dad baked the cake in a square pan and Shawn did free hand for Patrick. It turned out really good! Who knew Shawn had it in him.

Just some new pictures

I had my friend Steph take some pictures of us a few weeks ago, and I just wanted to share a few of them. I think she did a great job!

Yeah, I guess they do look like engagements, but we don't have kids so of course it will just be us!

We do love Bingo!!!

These pics were taken last year when Shawn was trying to decide on his costume for Halloween. I thought they were kinda fun, and we all know that bingo is the best!

Here's lookin forward to our 70's!!!

I know my posts haven't been much to look at lately, but there hasn't been too much going on with us. Shawn works every weekend, so we only have one day together every other week, when we have that day off, we like to have as much together time as we can. We have been to SLC a couple times to watch shows at the IMAX, then of course we do shopping and our favorite, most favorite place at the gateway is...Rocky Mtn. choc factory!!! Of course it's food!!

I always get the strawberry cheesecake apple, and shawn gets anything with lots of chocolate or candy..what a goof!

7 year anniversary

Wow...we hit 7 years...can't believe it! This year we decided to do what we've done in the past and go to Park City. We stayed the night at Silverado Lodge in the Canyons Resort, it was a very nice room, and the service was great! Shawn had mentioned at check in that we were celebrating our 7 years, so when we got back to our room that night we found chocolate covered strawberries and a card from the front desk saying Congrats!

We rode the Alpine slide and 2 ziplines at the Utah Olympic Park, so it wasn't the original slides, but this one was actually pretty fun! Later that night we went to the arts festival to check it out and just wander around, there were some pretty cool things to check out, but of course it started to rain so we left. Of course we did some shopping..who doesn't shop when they're in Park City??

It was such a nice time to be together and get out of the parents house for a night!

Funny

Shawn and I saw this on our way home from Bear Lake, just thought I'd share the humor that we got out of it with all of you. Enjoy!!!

Now you see me....

Now you don't....haha!!

Just been lazy

I know I haven't posted for a couple months, but it's just been the same ol' same ol'...

We have been doing some fun things lately, but I too forget my camera. So we've been working a ton, and just hangin out. I will just post some pictures here and there of what we've been up to.

One thing I do have to put in is that Shawn finally got a full time job again...whew!!! He is working at Winco here in Roy doing loss prevention, so if any of you decide to get the urge to steal, you better watch out cause Shawn is on patrol :)

A couple weeks ago we went to Bear Lake with our cousins, the weather was perfect, company was great, but the water was f-f-f-freezing..... It was nice to hang out with our cousins and visit, have a sleep over, stay up and talk all night and watch movies.

"YEAH....I WORK OUT!!"

Aaaaahhhh..refreshing! Gotta have my Coca~a~cola

Little trip to the zoo

My little sister has been wanting to plan a trip to the zoo for her daughter. Her little girl is Hallie Kate, and she has been more observant and laughing a lot. So we planned our trip last week, the windiest day of the week, but it was pretty fun. We didn't get to see all the animals, come to think of it, we never get to see all the animals which is kind of lame cause you pay your admission fee and are kind of ripped off. The bears were moved to Oregon, and the Zebras have not been replaced since their passing...so on and so on. I got a couple pics of the animals we did see, enjoy!

Maddie and Graiden

Hallie Kate (aka..taters) with dad

He obviously didn't want the company!

Move over Betty Crocker

So I have seen this recipe floating around for the longest time and figured I could never make them, and if I did they wouldn't turn out right. Blah...blah..blah... I enjoy watching the food channel, getting recipes from the internet and anywhere else I can find them, so I have a binder full of recipes that I don't use. In my mind I am so motivated about cooking and baking, but when it comes down to it, I don't even want to try and I find an excuse to not do it. I've been watching my little sister bake and cook for the last few months and I wish I was like her. She wants to cook and make people happy with her food. So I decided to step it up on Monday, I made fettucini alfredo for dinner (i know...pretty simple, at least i am trying) and then for dessert I made homemade oreos. Let me sum it up for you...OMG(goodness) they were delicious!!! Very simple and scrumptious!! Stay tuned...I might try something else :)

Easter

Happy Easter!!! Hope everybody enjoyed their Easter, all the egg hunts, candy, bunnies and can't forget the best....General Conference!! It was so nice to have the weekend to relax and enjoy the holiday with family and to hear the authorities speak during conference. There were some really good subjects they covered, I was glad to have Shawn and I sit down and listen to most of it. Shawn was really interested because of his job with the church. The lighting behind the organ was something he helped with, and every time the cameras changed from person to person he would say stuff like "fade out 1 and camera on 2" technical terms we don't know about! Anyway, Easter was pretty fun this year. We had a brunch here at home with some of the family and then watched conf., had the rest of the family over and had an easter egg hunt inside and out, and ate lots of candy!! The kids were so cute running in the yard trying to find all the eggs, we had some colored balls that confused them, it was so funny to watch them get the ball thinking it was the egg.. :) Shawn and I got eachother a little basket, he got a new golf hat and I got some flowers and some new shoes, it was a very nice holiday! I even learned how to make some cute bows. My sis in law Erin showed me how to make them... let me tell you, I am not as good as her! She has a blog where she sells these bows. I have a button on the side of my blog, Royalty Bowtique, you should check it out..good stuff.

FHE

My older sister decided to put on FHE the other night, pretty much for the activity! She bought all the accesories to create our own VW wagons, they were so fun to decorate. We had a little message to go along with the activity, nothing to relate, but we found a little something! Here are the vans we were all inspired to create...enjoy!
