just a few things

Tyler just got back from two interviews at med schools in Arizona. He felt like things went well, so we'll see what happens. I went and stayed with my parents for a couple days and it was nice spending time with them. Tyler heads to Missouri and Iowa next week for a couple more interviews. He's has worked so hard on getting things ready for medical school while still going to school. We are really proud of everything he has done. It will be nice to find out where we are going to be living for the next four years. We'll keep you posted. I love this picture of Jacoby. He looks like such a little frog and especially with that green, gingham outfit.

I love to have cards on hand when things come up, but it seems like I never have the right card that I need. Well I finally decided to break down and do a bunch. There's still some events that I've probably missed, but this covers most of them.

A lady I work with asked me to make carmel, chocolate pretzels for her son's wedding. Her colors are pink, black, and white, so I thought these heart sprinkles would be great. It was fun to make these, but I ended up having to make two flippin' batches because a few pans of pretzels fell out of the freezer and broke. I was so mad!!! Thanks to my mom and all her help we got them finished finally.

I really love cupcakes right now. There's this great little cupcake cafe up here called the Cocoa Bean and they have the best cupcakes. I tried to copy them with these red velvet cupcakes.

We had Travis, Betsey, and Savannah over for dinner the other night and it was a lot of fun. They're all going to school up here too and it's so nice to have them so close. We had a great time visiting and playing games. I love having people over for dinner, but then I realize how small our apartment is. We had to use our computer chair and rocking chair to have enough chairs to sit up to the table. Ha ha.

back to scrapbooking

It's been awhile since I've been able to scrapbook very much and I've missed it! So in the last few days I did these two pages. I'm trying to finish up some pages for Jacoby's 6 months-1 year scrapbook so that I can get my Shutterfly book ordered. I just got back his birth-6 months and it turned out pretty nice. There were a few mistakes, but now I know how to fix them and this next one should turn out better.

This is Jacoby's birthday layout. I loved the pictures of him eating his cupcake.

We haven't had a family picture taken in awhile, so I was anxious to scrapbook it. This picture was taken at my brother-in-law's wedding reception. Plum, robin egg blue, and yellow were their wedding colors and they were beautiful so I used the colors for this page too.
I had another family challenge with my sisters and mom. I love doing the challenges because it motivates me to get a page done and FAST!

Here are their pages:
Becca's page
Steph's page

WEDDING & A GIVEAWAY

My brother-in-law, Travis, got married last Friday. It was a really nice day for them. The ceremony was very nice and they both looked so happy. They had so many people there supporting them too. The reception was at a family friend of Betsey's and the house and yard were so beautiful! It was a really nice evening and the reception was gorgeous, and man they had some great food! They had cupcakes from the Cocoa Bean, those are my all time favorite. We're so excited to have Betsey in our family. They're living at our apartment complex, so we're excited to have them so close by!

GIVEAWAY

I just wanted to let you guys all know that my aunts are doing a giveaway on their blog for a free watch. They do the cute beaded watches that are so popular. So head over to their blog right here and leave a comment to be entered into their contest.

check out my bike

Well I know it's been a long time since I blogged and I'm real sorry. I just haven't really felt like it lately, but I'm going to try to be better! It's been hard because we've been running all over the place, we've been back and forth from Idaho Falls and Rexburg. August is a month full of birthdays on my side of the family. Jacoby kicks us off, then a week later is Eden's, mine, and then Johnny's. I still wish that Johnny would've been born on my birthday, but it was the day after so that's cool too. My aunt Janell and cousin Nic's birthdays are the day before mine and I always thought that was fun, so hopefully Johnny will too someday. Well I had a really nice birthday. My birthday was on Sunday, so after church we went to my parent's for dinner. A few days before my birthday I begged my mom to make me peach cheesecake, my very favorite, so Steph made the cheesecake and my mom made the tasty peach topping. After cake we went to Tyler's house to stay the night. Debie also made me a very yummy cake! I received lots of nice gifts from everyone, so thanks a lot.
My parents gave me a bike and I'm so thrilled! For Jacoby's birthday they gave him this great bike seat. I hadn't ever seen or heard of the seats in front, but my cousin's wife, Kirsten told me how much she loved hers so I thought it would be great. I took Jacoby on a ride today and it was really fun, but man it seems like I'm always going uphill here in Rexburg. Ha ha. Hint hint, need to start working out!
This video of Jacoby is hilarious!! He's just laughing and screaming and he's so proud of himself, I'm so glad I got a video of this!
