Cupcakes!

My mom and I are on the cupcake train.

We recently took a decorative cupcake class through Granite Peaks and it was two hours of sheer happiness!
We decorated cupcakes using three techniques. On the first cupcake we used tip 2D and created a hydrangea. It was super easy and looks so fancy!
Our second cupcake was my favorite... a cute orange monster!
We used tips 3 and 18. The eyes are gumballs with a dot of frosting. The crazy antennae are made with lollipop sticks and gumdrops... cute!
The last cupcake we made was a chrysanthemum. This one took some time but looks like a pretty Christmas flower. We cut mini marshmallows in half diagonally and dipped them in colored sugar sprinkles.

We had so much fun... I think we could open our own shop ;)

End of Summer

Without looking at the calender, you'd think it was still summer. Temperatures have been in the 80's, the sun is out and my dog doesn't need his coat. (This piece of clothing is necessary because he has fine hair and is small. I do not condone dressing up my animals as children.)
Sadly, I look at the calender and see that it is October. So, I must post my end of summer pictures.

Last Bees game!

This season went by so fast! This was my last week as a Honeybee this year. Go Bees!






Labor Day

We spent Labor Day enjoying a picnic at the Tibble Fork Reservoir with Brent's parents. It was a perfect day! Griz NEVER goes in the water, but he saw a duck and tried to go after it! We took a drive on the Alpine Scenic Loop to Cascade Springs. Water here flows out of the ground. There is a little path you can walk to see the springs.

Boldly going where no Griz has gone before.

Pay no attention to the outfit I am wearing. I was going for comfort.
