Where did all the time go??

2010-04-11T18:34:00.000-07:00

Once again it has been way too long since I have posted anything. Time goes by way too quickly! First here are some more baby pictures in totally random order.

Gabe is already 11 weeks old! He had his 2 month check up a couple of weeks ago and he was 11 pounds and 7 ounces. It has been so much fun to watch how much growth he has already had! Daddy is so proud, Gabe loves to watch basketball on T.V and when commercials come on he'll cry. I have no idea how he knows the difference between commercials and the games at 2 months! He also loves to talk. We can lay him on the floor and talk to him for hours and he will smile and talk back the whole time. And I am sooo grateful that he is a good sleeper for momma too! He usually sleeps anywhere from 4-7 hours the first time he goes to sleep, then anywhere from 2-4 hours after he eats again! He is such a happy baby, and a pretty good drooler too. The only thing you can't mess with baby boy is his food. He wants his food when he wants it! (I wonder where he gets that from :) ) Oh and I almost forgot, his very favorite thing is to snuggle. He absolutely loves sleeping on your chest (especially daddy's).

As for Kane and I we love being parents! It is so much fun to watch Kane be a Dad, he takes such good care of our boy and loves snuggling with him. He helps out so much to let me run and do things that I need to do for myself. Kane is still working and going to school, and I had to go back to work 3 weeks ago. It is kind of nice to get out of the house however it is so unbelievably hard to leave baby boy at home.

Yay he is here!

2010-01-31T11:46:00.001-08:00

So I'm sure everyone has already heard by now but we had our baby boy on the 28th! We went in that morning at 7:30AM, the day actually went by pretty fast... until the pushing! After an hour and 15 min of pushing he came at 6:23PM. He ended up weighing 8 lbs 1oz and the doctor said if he was any bigger we would have had to do a C section so I am so happy we decided to induce that day! So happy to have him here he is adorable, rough first night of sleeping, but I'm sure it will get easier with time. Here are a few pictures of him. This first one doesn't really look much like him its pretty funny, the rest of the pictures look exactly like him. He has some dark hair and it looks like he has lots of cowlicks (Sp?) so I we are hoping his hair is curly, well just have to wait and see!

Still waiting...

2010-01-26T18:23:00.000-08:00

For our baby boy of course! I have absolutely loved being pregnant, however I am so ready to hold our little guy! I have been dilated at a 2 for 4 weeks now! At my last doctor appointment I told my doc that I was going to cry if I was still at a 2, so of course his response was that I am "almost at a 3", and that was a week ago. The good news is that we decided I am going to be induced on Thursday! I am so excited I cannot wait! I do have mixed feelings about being induced, I would love to have my baby come on his own. However, the doctor told us at 33 weeks that our baby was going to easily be an 8 pound baby, kinda scary. Also I am going insane waiting, I can't drive anywhere far due to the fact that my belly is so big and my legs are so short that my poor tummy rubs the steering wheel. :( So sad. We could have picked any day this week to be induced but we picked Thursday because it was Kane's Daddy's birthday (for those of you who don't know Kane's dad passed away) so it will be fun to make that day a happy one again! So I will just have to keep myself busy tomorrow and try my hardest to get some sleep tomorrow night! Wish me luck!

Also I have a camera again! Jessica got a new camera for Christmas so I was able to inherit her old one! So here are some pictures:

My friend MandiJo was so clever and took a picture of her feet when she was pregnant. I though it was hilarious, so I had to as well. I might have waited a little too long to take this picture because to even see my feet I had to lean over my belly a bit. Hehe so funny.

Here is our Crib, I love it!
And some more pictures of the baby's room...

Thanks to everyone for all the gifts!

Few more cakes and an update..

2009-11-18T11:20:00.000-08:00

So on Nov 2nd Kane and I had our 3rd year anniversary! I was so excited, we took the day off to be together. We don't have any recent pictures of us so I thought it would be fun to dress up and take some pictures, then we were going to go to the Olive Garden for lunch, and just spend the rest of the day together until Kane had a basketball game he was playing in that night. Unfortunately that didn't really work out. We spent all day getting Kane's car fixed, it ended up needing a new catalytic converter. So $720 and all day later we decided not to go to lunch and we didn't have time to take pictures. Long story short my mother-n-law was so sweet and took us to the Olive Garden so we could still have an anniversary meal(our tradition), and I was at least able to take a new belly picture after Kane's basketball game. It's not a picture of the both of us and I am not dressed up, but I thought it was pretty funny. I'm holding a basketball, but you can't really see it because that's how huge my belly has gotten! The picture still doesn't do it justice it feels so much bigger than it looks! Next... here is a couple of pictures of a cake I made for Dee for her birthday!

And this is the cake I made for my friend MandiJo for her Baby shower last Saturday.

She was originally planning on a lady bug cake then decided to to the baby! So here is Baby #3...

And that is pretty much what we have been up to!

Weekend of cakes!

2009-10-28T07:24:00.001-07:00

This weekend was so much fun, I was able to do what I love all weekend! I had 3 cakes to make, 1for a baby shower for a friend, the other two were for a joint birthday party for Katie and Bradley's birthdays this month. I also put on the birthday cake I made my brother back in July. And here are the results...Above was the cake I made for my brother in July. He was making a fountain in his backyard, so I made my own edible version :)
This cake was Bradley's birthday cake. It was starting off really cute, until I decided to try and make him look real and scary... that part didn't turn out so well, I'm better if I make cute cakes.
However, it did taste very yummy!

Above and below are pictures of Katie's birthday cake. I should've put up pictures with their birthday candles on the cakes because it made the cakes look adorable!

And below is my favorite cake that I made this weekend, this was the cake I made for a friend who was hosting a baby shower. This cake is similar to the other baby shower cake I made so it may look a little familiar (other than the fact this is a white baby boy who is bald).

I love making cakes and I get to do another baby shower cake in a week for another friend. Again I will post the results, this one will be fun I think she has decided to do a lady bug theme. I have decided that I really will have my own home business for making cakes, it won't be official for a while but in the mean time if anyone would like a cake let me know and I can totally do some here and there!

Bumps and Thumps

2009-10-07T13:01:00.000-07:00

So much fun (other than the little aches and pains)! I love being pregnant especially every time I get to feel our baby boy move. I felt Gabe for the first time at 18 weeks and then not again til I was 20 weeks. He moves all the time, although it seems whenever anyone puts their hand on my belly he knows and so he stops. I think Kane and his sister are the only ones who have been able to feel him, however cute little Katie claims she did as well. The baby and I have a new game, I absolutely LOVE taking baths. When I get in the tub I'll splash my belly with water and then wait... then the thumps come! He'll kick twice so hard that my belly moves where his foot is. He'll only kick twice though the little bugger, and always in the exact same spot. So cute. I know it will get to the point when I will be able to see him move all the time rather than just feel him. I have even heard how uncomfortable it can be when it gets to that point, so I'll just enjoy the little thumps he makes all day now. And the pictures totally don't do the "belly" justice, I feel huge!

I feel so blessed to have our baby boy, can't wait to hold him.

23 weeks right now...17 to go!

New Baby Pictures!

2009-09-15T11:46:00.000-07:00

So today we had another ultrasound! 20 Weeks now! Woohoo half way done! It has been so much fun (except for extreme back pains). I can feel him more than I used to mainly at night when I am laying in bed. Kane and I pretty much have all our girl and boy baby names picked out. This baby is going to be Gabe (Gabriel), middle name still up for debate, Stokes. Baby Gabe was so cute today, I think I created a sugar addict. He wouldn't stop moving, and every time she tried to get a good picture of his face he would keep turning his head. So cute, anyways here are some of our pictures. Hopefully you can tell what they are if you can't it will say in the picture what you are looking at.

Oh what fun...

2009-09-11T07:54:00.000-07:00

So we are officially moved into my parents house and we keep finding all sorts of great things in "our" basement! My favorite ... our old Sega! Sonic the Hedgehog was always a favorite, I also found Duckshots (Donald duck going on adventures), Sonic 2, and Awesome Possum! For some reason kid games are so much fun! The only games I have for Kane's X-box 360 are Kung Fu Panda, and Ratatouille. I have to laught because I never thought I would marry a guy that still plays video games, only to find myself doing the same. Ah scary! I guess I'll always be a kid (or nerd) at heart! So fun!

Last Dr. Appointment...

2009-08-18T19:33:00.000-07:00

Most of you that read this already know but yesterday I had my doctor appointment to find out the sex of our baby. And its a BOY!! I was shocked how well we could see the babe. He was moving and kicking me like crazy! We got to see him open his mouth, squirm, and we saw very clearly his privates. The doctor didn't even have to say it was a boy by the time I saw it! Kane got the biggest grin on his face when we found out, not to mention that he has already told the whole world about our baby boy. We are so excited, I am just relieved that everything is still going really good, and I can't wait to actually feel the baby move. In four more weeks we get to have another ultrasound that is supposed to be on a much better machine so he will look a lot more clear.

Here is my favorite ultrasound picture because you can see the head, arm sticking straight up, bent legs and feet. It didn't turn out too clear because he kept moving around. But here is our baby boy!

A whole lot of changes

2009-08-08T15:03:00.000-07:00

So it has been months since I have checked any blogs or written anything new, so here is our update. My parents took our family and spouses to New York in May. Kane didn't get to go due to just getting a new job :( Other than being extremely sick in New York it was so much fun. Too bad I wasn't on "What Not to Wear" and have $5,000 to spend on clothes!

Anyways good news and bad news when we got home. The following Monday we found out that I'm pregnant again!!! (hence the sickness in New York) We also found out that same day that unfortunately, Kane lost his job. Nothing he could have done about it either.
So due to Kane not having a job for a few months, paying the stupid amount for COBRA to keep our health insurance, and trying to pay off Kane's teeth before the baby gets here... we get to move in with my parents! I am so grateful that my parents are willing to give up some of their basement, and that we have the opportunity to get our finances under control.

And back to the really exciting news our due date is February 2nd, and I will be 15 weeks on Monday! On August the 17th, 1 week from Monday we get to find out if our babe is a boy or a girl!! My doctor does all of his gender ultrasounds at 16 weeks which is earlier than most other doctors, and i can't wait!

Its crazy how everything happens in life but we are so excited for what is to come!

Out for the season??

2009-04-23T16:44:00.000-07:00

What do you get with a bunch of guys playing some pickup ball at the church? Well let me tell you; a fractured maxilla (upper jaw), 3 root canals, and 3 crowns! Oh and not to mention the joy of eating soft foods for 3 weeks! Yup this is what happened to Kane last Thursday. We were lucky enough to have a dentist do an emergency appointment on Friday instead of waiting til Monday! I wish I could say that he is feeling a lot better now since it has been a week today since the incident. However he is still in a lot of pain and taking 8 Loratab pills a day (along with the 3 Penicillin and 3 IBprofun). I wish I knew how to get pictures of my phone because I have the funniest picture of Kane right after the Dentist finished up his 3 hour procedure on him! He looked a little stoned to say the least. Anyways kane is officialy done playing basketball... for this season. And if any of you have any good ideas of what Kane could eat let me know, he is getting tired of mashed potatos, soup, pudding, apple sauce, oatmeal and shakes!

Thank goo

2009-04-23T16:43:00.000-07:00

Yay, victory the cake is finished!

2009-03-30T17:04:00.000-07:00

After my battle with the marshmellows for this cake I regained control and here is the finished product. I made this cake for a baby shower that I threw for a friend from work on Saturday and it was a lot of fun! She is expecting a baby girl (obviously) the end of May. I did steal the layout of the body from Jeff's old Iceskating coach on her cake website (very cute cakes by the way). But I did change the color and hair of the baby. My next task is a cake for Grandma Joyce's Birthday this week! So I'll post the finished product of that next week. Hopefully this blog can turn into a cake blog when I have the time and money to keep making all of these cakes!

When marshmellows attack!

2009-03-23T11:51:00.000-07:00

So here I am making some fondant icing for a baby cake. I am throwing a baby shower for a girl at work this weekend. The first thing to do when making the icing is melt marshmellows... harmless right? So I put the bowl of marshmellows in the microwave and every 30 seconds I take the bowl out and stir them up. Well putting the bowl back into the microwave I dropped the spoon I was using, only for it to land on my face! The marshmellows had stuck my lower eylashes to my upper eyelashes and to my eyelid. Freaking out I run to the bathroom half blind because my eye was stuck halfway shut! Luckily splashing water on my face disolved the marshmellows and I could then open my eyes again. Scary!!! My eye won't stop hurting, so hopefully it doesn't swell up. If it does I'll have to come up with a better excuse than marshmellows attacking me. Man... who knew baking cakes was such hard work!

What a blessing...

2009-03-21T21:54:00.001-07:00

So Kane and I just got back from the store and were still in awe! We were standing in line to pay for our groceries and a friendly man behind us started talking to us and asking how long we had been married. Then he reached over and pressed the cancel button on the credit card machine and said he would pay. We told him he didn't have to but he insisted. Anyways he ended up paying and we couldn't believe it! Its so good to know that there are such nice people out there! I had to call my parents walking out to the car because I had to tell someone else, and now I am blogging about it! That just made our night. There are blessings and miracles around us every day we just have to be looking for them. I am very grateful for that mans act of kindness, and I hope I can make an impact on others lives as well!

Ooops... My Bad!

2009-03-20T07:42:00.000-07:00

So I quickly realized (thanks to Aunt Cindy and my husband) that I got the times wrong for the Celebrity Apprentice on Sunday. Its 8-10 not 9-11. Sorry, Anyways so the show is from 8-10 on NBC! Thanks for catching that Cindy!

Sunday, March 22nd!

2009-03-17T07:54:00.000-07:00

So this coming Sunday the 22nd Kane's company is going to be on the Celebrity Apprentice with Donald Trump!! We are super excited! What could be a better more entertaining way to show our friends and family what he is doing! I am so proud of him for working so hard with it! I have to admit I have never watched the Celebrity Apprentice, so last Sunday we turned it on. It was a fun episode where they sold wedding dresses. Dennis Rodman is on this year and wow... I cant believe there really are people in the world who think the world literally revolves around them. So not only is Kane's company going to be on, but on the commercial for next week Dennis Rodman has a break down and gets in Clint Black's face, luckily I don't think anyone gets hurt.

Any who we are having a get together Sunday to watch it at our place. (Another blog shortly to come about our new living room!) So come over if you want to join in I am going to make lots of yummy food to celebrate with as well. So Next Sunday the 22nd at 9:00! They are even doing a special 2hr edition for his company as well! Again Sunday the 22nd from 9-11 on NBC!

Also here is Kane's website www.KaneStokes.acnrep.com
Honestly if you ever need anything dealing with telecommunications talk to Kane or myself and check out our website because he can get you everything at cost and wholesale! He can get you whatever cell phone you want with all major cell providers, ADT, Dish Network and Direct TV, and our beloved Video Phone. (In which we are taking to New York in May so that Katie and Bradley can see Jess and Kaylan every night!) Love you all, thanks for your support!

My new favorite hobby!

2009-02-16T16:26:00.000-08:00

It all started when Kane and I decided to look at some nightstands (since we use a kitchen chair for one now, yup ghetto!). I remembered someone told me about KSL.com classifieds. Well after looking around I found a FREE section! What could be better than free stuff right! So every morning when I get up I get on KSL to check the weather then I go right to the free classifieds! I almost got free turtle with the tank! However the people never called me back :( . I was going to just have the turtle at home when Kane got home from work. Once he found out I was serious about getting it he said he didn't want it. So sad. Oh well because then I found a cute rocking chair in good shape! So I arranged a time to pick it up in Ogden. My mom was nice enough to go with me since I didn't think it would fit in my car. However when we got there the guy said that he put it on his porch with a free sign on it and someone took it that afternoon! What a Jerk! Oh well, its still my favorite hobby and someday I am gunna score on something totally worth it!

P.S we still haven't gotten any nightstands so if anyone knows of any good deals let us know!

P.S.S Denise there was a free horse I don't know if you want another or even need one. And Jen too bad you already got your dog because there are a lot of dogs that people cant keep because they are moving. Even cute pit bulls that they would have to send to the pound if they can't get rid of them in time.

What you get with two crooked crumbly gluten free cakes!

2009-01-05T11:09:00.000-08:00

Ok so the cake pictures were supposed to be first, not Samantha and Kane! Anyways, it was Samantha's Sweet 16 on Sunday! She is growing up so fast! She is turning into such a beautiful woman! She has so much potential inside of her that I don't think she has even realized yet! Sammi you ARE beautiful, and I hope you know how much Kane and I love you, even though we can't always be around! This picture of Kane and Sam was taken right after I met them over 2 years ago! (Sam is probably so embarassed that I put this picture on, but I don't have a recent one of her!)

Now here is what you get with two crooked crumbly glute free cakes...
I managed to salvage the two cakes by putting them together and hiding most of their imperfections! Gluten Free cakes are not easy to cut and Decorate! But I am glad Sammi was able to have a cake on her birthday!

Happy Birthday Samantha!!

What you get with two gluten free cakes...

2009-01-05T11:08:00.000-08:00

Ready... Set... Race!

2008-12-03T14:22:00.000-08:00

Here is the cake I made for Thanksgiving. It was the first fondant character I've ever done! Yummm! And I have to admit it was yummy too!

Here are some photos of the thanksgiving 5k. I got Brent and Cindy to run with me and here are some photos before we ran. And I was trying to pretend like I was running, funky picture, I know.
Ohh, aren't they so cute!!

Those are the only pics I got on thanksgiving :( I'll have to make sure I get more on Christmas!

Happy gobble gobble day!

2008-11-27T12:17:00.000-08:00

Well I never say what I am grateful for so I am going to join in and post what I am grateful for. LiFe in GeNeRaL is Beautiful! I love looking at the mountains out my window. I am SO grateful for my HUSBAND, I'm not just saying that because I am married. He is truly wonderful. He has made me open my eyes to life the good the bad and the ugly, even though I hate it sometimes. I have always been one to put all my issues in the back of my mind and forget about them, and as bad as it hurts to bring them back up and deal with them it feels great to have some more space in my life to fill with happy things! (if that makes any sense :) !) Life has been hard for us lately with loosing our baby. But my hubby has been right by my side through all of it. Even when it meant heading to the ER in the middle of the night, or breaking down crying on his shoulder. That experience has brought us so much closer and given me more gratitude for human life and how special every moment of it is. SO TRIALS in life are WONDERFUL (once we get over them)! I am also grateful for our families! They are always there to lend a helping hand whenever we need it! I cant begin to tell you how many things they have done for us. I am grateful that Kane and I have JOBS they may not be our dream jobs but we can provide for ourselves . There are so many I am grateful for but I don't want to make this post forever long. So thanks to all of you for being so supportive of Kane and I, we love you all!

Happy Anniversary!

2008-11-04T12:41:00.001-08:00

On Nov. 2nd it was our anniversary! Two years now and loving it! The 2nd was on Sunday and we went over to Cindy's house to meet her family. (Brent's future in-laws) We didn't really do much that day so we spent the whole weekend celebrating. Friday night was also Halloween and we went to see the Odyssey Dance production "Thriller". I believe this is my 5th year going, and Kane's 2nd. Then on Saturday night my parents gave us their season tickets to the Jazz game. It was a blast, at half time they had the bear come out with three little kids about ages 3-7 yrs old, dressed up in bear costumes! They played follow the leader with the bear and did hilarious things like kick the referees in the toosh. It was so cute and I am so mad I had my camera with me but I didn't get any pictures! This is the only picture we got all weekend, it was on Friday night before seeing Thriller. (The only picture I have also of my new haircut. The lady took off at least 5 inches :( but I am growing to like the shorter length.)

Laugh every day!

2008-11-04T07:57:00.001-08:00

It was a couple months ago that I was reading the annual "humor issue" of Readers Digest at work. It had the cutest comments from kids! It was then that I decided that i need to laugh at least once every day of my life. Here are some of my favorites. Hope you find them as funny as I did...

Driving with my two young boys to a funeral, I tried to prepare them by talking about burial and what we believe happens after death. The boys behaved well during the service. But at the grave site, I discovered my explanations weren't as thorough as I'd thought. In a loud voice my four year old son asked, "Mom?" "Yes" I whispered. "Whats in the box?"

A family was celebrating their daughter's fifth birthday at a local restaurant when the little girl's father noticed her looking sadly at a moose head on the wall. Someone had placed a party had on its head. Her father knelt beside her and explained why some people hunt animals. "I know all that." the child sobbed. "But why did they have to shoot him at his birthday party?"

On the last night of our child-birth classes our teacher took us to see the maternity center. We were gathered by the door when a woman, clearly in labor, and her nervous husband came rushing in. When he saw our group of pregnant women, he panicked: "Oh my God. Look at the size of that line!"

Last but not least...

A woman from our office brought in her new bundle of joy along with her seven year old son. Everyone gathered around the baby, and the little boy asked, "Mommy, can I have some money to buy a soda?" "What do you say?" she said. He replied, "You're thin and beautiful." The woman reached into her purse and gave her son the money.

7 Random Things...

2008-10-27T10:10:00.001-07:00

Alrighty, I have been tagged by Kira to say 7 random things about myself. The rules are: To say 7 random and/or weird things about yourself and then tag 7 people at the end of your blog to do the same thing . Let them know they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.
1-When I was little I stuck Cheetos, m&m's and other random foods up my nose. I then ran to my mom telling her that my nose hurt, she had to use tweezers to get the food out of my nose.
2-Umm, kinda gross but I can belch like a guy. I don't do it all the time but i can win any burping contest!
3-I love m&m's and every time I take a handful to eat them I have to eat them by color. I always have to make sure I eat a yellow or green one last.
4- My other favorite candy bar is Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. Every time i eat them I have to eat all of the chocolate off first and then I eat the peanut butter filling! Yumm!
5-I have jelly bean toes! My pinkie toe on each foot curves in and looks like a jelly bean. I have stubbed my little toes too many times and now I can't even wiggle them.
6-I am one tough chick when it comes to sports or used to be anyways. When I was little and played soccer my dad would give me a goal of how many girls to knock over and if I did he would take me to Dairy Queen after to get a blizzard!
7- I HATE spiders!!! I really have arachnophobia I used to kill spiders with hairspray when i lived in my parents house. Now I have to make Kane kill them. Kane bought me a fly swater so that I could start killing them myself. I proudly announce that I have officially killed 3 little spiders with my swater!
Ok, I don't think I am going to tag 7 people but I will tag, Jessica, Mom, Mandi Jo, Allyssa, and Jeff! 5 is good enough right?!

Katie and Bradley's Birthday Cakes

2008-10-21T15:21:00.000-07:00

Round 1 of Katie's top layer above.

Bradley's Skateboard Lego's cake above.

Katie's Castle Cake above.

So here are pictures of the cakes I made this past weekend. They turned out alright I could have done Bradley's better, but live and learn. Oh but first here is a picture of round 1 of the top layer on Katie's cake. As you can tell it didn't quite make it! I guess thats what happens when you try and do too many things at once! Also Katie's Castle cake was supposed to have towers on the top of the first and second layer of the cake. Unfortunately my body wasn't going to let me stand too much longer, so it got balloons instead! However this was my first time trying out fondant icing and it worked!

Long hard night...

2008-10-18T08:46:00.000-07:00

It's times like this that I am grateful for blogs! When you are grieving it makes it a lot easier to tell a lot of people whats going on without talking face to face. Last night at 11pm I was able to get a hold of an on-call doctor since my doctor wasn't in the office. After explaining my cramping and other symptoms he said I should go to the ER. So off to the hospital Kane and I went. After urine samples blood tests, fun IVs, about 45 minutes of Ultra Sounds and hours of waiting we found out that I am currently having a miscarriage. If I don't bleed heavily in the next ten days they need to do a DNC. Of course we were heartbroken, no one else in my family has had miscarriages and I am 12 weeks along! I thought for sure I was safe since my last week of my first trimester was this week! We got home from the hospital at about 2:30 am and I finally got a few hours of sleep. I know miscarriages happen a lot, however, I have never been close to anyone who has had one. I didn't get to see my last ultra sounds but my mother n-law was there and she got to see them my baby stopped growing probably about 9 weeks and then finally died last week since I had a sudden burst of energy and my morning sickness was gone. Anyways here is an ultra sound of a baby at 11 weeks, its obviously not mine but that's what it should have been when it passed last week. I think the hardest part is knowing that it is still inside of me and I just have to wait for it to come out. Anyways thanks for listening to me grieve and on a happier note I'm not going in to work today so I am going to finish making Bradley and Katie's Birthday cakes, that will hopefully help me take my mind of of this. I'll post the cakes tomorrow when they are officially done. Love you all!

Birthday Cake Creations!

2008-10-03T12:27:00.001-07:00

So this was a Birthday cake that I a made for my brothers birthday in July. I have to say that it turned out pretty good because I didn't plan ahead and buy decorations for it I just had to use whatever I could find in my parents house! By the way my brother went on a couple of hikes in the summer and got pretty close to some bears, so the cake is a bear head if you couldn't tell.
This one I thought was pretty funny, this was for my sisters birthday in May. I couldn't really think of what to do so this boy with the blue eyes is one of Jessica's scared patients. Below is a picture of Jessica with her mask on. (Jessica is a Dental Hygienist)
And there will be more cakes to come. Katie and Bradley's (my niece and nephew's) birthdays are this month so any good Ideas? Katie loves anything girly or with Princesses and I'm not sure about Bradley!

Summer Re-cap

2008-10-03T12:05:00.000-07:00

So here is a re-cap of our summer now that it is officially fall! I ran my first half marathon in July! After I was done I swore I would never run again. Lol, that didn't last too long because there are so many different half marathons I would love to run, and eventually will someday! I unofficially beat my sister Sarah's first half marathon time, I accidentally ran the wrong way because the course wasn't clearly marked so I ran an extra block and a half!! Darn it, that added two minutes to my time and so my race time recorded is a minute slower than her first, but in reality it was faster!! However Sarah has run two half marathons and a full marathon. So she still has me beat because I doubt I'll ever run a full marathon.

Oh and by the way after the race my mom made me Peanut Butter Pie! My favorite!! And we got to go eat at the Olive Garden that night! Thanks Mom and Dad!!

Kane is still up to the same as always ... Basketball (other than work)! Kane is always signed up in one league or another. This picture is he is playing in a league out in Clearfield, which by the way they got first place in this league! For winning they each got a trophy and money towards another league! So yay more basketball!

For those of you who know me I love making birthday cakes! My birthday was in August and one of my dear friends Kristina made me these cute bear cakes for my birthday! They were sooo cute! The girl bear is me and the boy bear is Kane (the one with the missing ears, Kane couldn't keep his hands off of them).

We promised John and Kristina that we would take a picture of us eating of the bears heads. So here we are...

About Us!

First of all you can tell I am retarded at this because this description was supposed to be in front of our picture, however it cut off half of the words and I couldn't change it! So here as a post you can read about Kane and I! Again bear with me this is going to be a very disorganized blog!
Kane and I have been married for about 2 years now! Kane is working at Benchmark Hospital as a Mental Health worker and I am still working at Massage Envy in Bountiful. I am very excited though because instead of managing I get to go back to being a Massage Therapist (who knows what I'll do with my extra time)!
Life is going to change real soon for Kane and I, on my birthday (August 21st) I found out that I am pregnant! Dee (Kane's mom) was so excited she already got my due date which will be May 3rd, which will be a week before Kane's birthday! Anyways, I was hesitating on telling everyone because my first doctors appointment is not until September 24th but I can't keep it to myself!
I'm sure you'll hear about the baby more as time goes by!

Woohoo, Were now blogging too!

Hello everyone! I finally decided to start a blog for Kane and myself since my mom even beat me to the punch! So bear with me if I tell you things that you really didn't want to know! But I am excited to actually keep in touch with friends and family that I haven't seen in a long time so you all better respond!
