What a weekend

Well school is finally over with this week being finals. What a relief! This weekend was very eventful, I had my work party at the Lion House friday night so after we went and looked at the lights. On saturday morning Brody, Kory, G'ma Shirley, Mom, Sue, and I all went to the SLC Temple for a session and it was fun hearing all of G'ma's "insider" stories. Later that day we went and picked out the perfect tree! Now I'm on a kick about trying to be a cake decorator using fondant. Last night was my first try and I failed. Here is why.. #1 I put 2 cakes in a convectional oven not staggered so after half hour of cooking they still were liquid and oozing over the sides. #2 When the cakes finally cooked (thanks to mom) I iced them together and noticed after I was done the top was bigger then the bottom. #3 the fondant kept breaking and I have no idea why.
Well all in all it was a fun weekened! Now the countdown is on till we head off to Cali. 16 more days!


Seeing the lights at Temple Square.


I guess the tree was extremely heavy.


In the making.. it looks a bit disgusting.


The finished product (a Christmas cake).

Welcome Welcome!

About time I started blogging eh? Well this Thanksgiving was great! We went to Idaho and had a yummy time at Brody's grandparents house. We went on some 4-wheeler trips and found a pond that was frozen over so we attempted to ice skate until it started cracking. Then Brody just started throwing big rocks in it--sounds lame but it was fun to watch. We also had a chance to cut down a Christmas tree for his granparents out in the woods, which was way fun too! When we came home we caught the 'black friday' fever and went to Kohls at 3 a.m. just to help out Suzanne with her kitchen aid! Although it was crazy we got somw really good deals! Well hope you all had a great holiday and are getting ready for Christmas. We certainly are excited!

P.S. Our memory card broke so we don't have any updated photos. But here's one I thought was cool looking.

This is on our honeymoon where Tyra Banks got her first famous photo shoot. It was taken at the "Baths of Gorda" or something like that. I'm not even sure what Island this is.. (we went island hopping)
