Kyles Birthday!

Kyle has officially entered the LAST year of his 20's.  I told him to live it up, because it is all down here from there!  ha ha.  (Not really down hill, but he likes to tease me bc I am older than he is! So, it is payback!)   I made him Lebanese Macaroni with my mom for his dinner and then I made: what we like to call the "Leaning Tower of Oreo".  It was a yummy cake, but it didn't hold its shape very well.  I did a triple layer of chocolate chunk cake.  It had two layers of whipped cream filling that was full of oreo crumbles.  "YUM", is all I have to say about that!

Hope you had a wonderful birthday hun!  You are truly the center of my world and I am so blessed to have you as my husband! 

Our Band!

 This is our band playing at Thanksgiving Point a  couple of weeks ago.  We played for the UVU Carshow.  It was a lot of fun.  We even got to play 4 songs for Carmen Rasmussen (American Idol Finalist)!  

Sorry it is not the best lighting in these photos.

This last pic is my favorite, because if you look closer or even click on the pic... you can tell that Kyle and I are dancing!  I am multi-tasking dancing and playing bass at the same time! 

Konnor Turned 2!

 

Konnor Man LOVES the movie "CARS".  

So, it was an easy choice as to a theme for his 2nd Birthday Party! 

The cake was a McQueen cake and we had "Tire cupcakes" too- or should I say "two". 

We had "Grilled Lightyear" Tires (hamburgers)

Doc Hudson Hotdogs, Sarges Surplus (plates and napkins), Fillmores Organic Fruit Salad,

 Pitstop Snacks, and Flos Fruit Punch. 

 

(Traffic Lights) Made out of Twix and M&M's

 

Here is Konnor blowing out his 2 candles!

 

Here is Konnor and Kaylee with their cousins Brayden and Caleb as they sport their racing flags!

  

 We had a Cars Quiz, and then played the name game.  -Where you have a name on your back and you have to ask yes or no questions to figure out who you are.  We all were different characters from the movie!  That was an interesting game.  My pictures didn't turn out well for that one.  Sorry.  But as you can see, I was Chick Hicks, and Kyle was Stanley. (I gave him a hard one) :)

 And the BIRTHDAY BOY HIMSELF,.... KONNOR!!!!
Fun times had by all!  Thank you to all those that came!  It was a fun lil party.

Where to begin?!

Our yard has GRASS!  It has some shrubs now too.  We went to a local nursery and got two burning bushes and a lilac!  Then Kyle's mom let us steal a few plants and a bush from her yard.  (Sweet woman!)  Now this week I will be planting FLOWERS!  I am so excited!  Make a comment of your fave. flowers to grow in the yard!  I need some help!
