Happy Anniversary! As of August 14th! We had a great time during our anniversary. Poor Kandace was sick the whole time though. It was hard for her to taste the wonderful food at the melting pot. We didn't realize how much food we were ordering until it was too late. Artichoke and cheese fondue, sirloin steak, shrimp, duck, veggies, salads, chocolate fondue, etc... We will definitely go again. We stayed at embassy suites for the night because we were up in Salt Lake for a wedding anyways. Great Hotel! We went there on our wedding night also. Love you Babe!

Better Late Than Never...

This is going to be a long post.. We start with the 4th of July. We started it off going to the stadium of Fire with Taylor and Eric and it was so good! Carrie Underwood was Amazing! Sadly, we left our camera so no pictures of that. For the actual 4th of July ,we celebrated it at Bob's house. One of the best 4th of July parties we have yet attended! We had a great BBQ, amazing fireworks and ended the night with ice shot glasses. Thanks Bob! Also here are a few of my 4th of July crafts. Next, one of the reasons it took so long to write a new post was because we moved down to Provo. Lets just say we are not moving again till we absolutely have too! We are almost done getting everything unpacked. The best part about our new place is a large covered deck. We decided now would be the perfect time to buy a porch swing for our new deck. Glen found an old one on KSL and with a little handy work, new wood and new paint it turned out really well! We also got a new BBQ for our birthday's to really make for the perfect deck. Lastly was Amy and Jordan's wedding. Everything went perfect and Amy looked beautiful! We are so happy for them and know they have waited a LONG time for that day to come!



Before...

and after..




This is what Stratton did most the time during the fireworks..

It is SUMMER! We have had many projects so far this spring/summer and are happy to have finished them. I just went fishing for my first time with brother-in-law Jared and had a blast! Kandace has been working hard on homemade crafts such as: earring holders, shadow boxes and candle holders. We still have a lot of summer ahead of us and more projects and fishing trips to come.

Birthdays!

The fourth was my birthday and Glen took me up to Park City for shopping and a night away. We stayed at the Westgate hotel in the Canyons and it was sooo nice! Even though it was only one night it was a great little vacation. My favorite part of the room was the giant tub! (i want one of those one day). Next was Stratton's birthday! Because of his obsession with Toy Story he had to have a Toy Story birthday.



The opening of the presents started like this...


but after getting a lawn mower it ended with him being pretty happy.

This is the beautiful cake shay made! Thanks shay!

FOOD!!

This post is all about FOOD The first pictures are glen's creation. If any of you like Tempura then you have to come try Glens because he is pretty much a pro from his mission. We have chicken, carrots, zucchini, and potatoes. Soooo good! Second I am obsessed with making deserts, not even for me to eat; I just love to see what I can make. There is a blog where I get most my inspiration. Bakerella.com. I have made pudding cups out of melted chocolate, sorry no picture and my favorite Cake pop’s! Here are the pictures! The first is a regular cake pops and then the last pictures are cupcake cake pops.

Vacation!!!

So, we had a little vacation this weekend before school and work start back up. We decided to head to sunny St. George (which apparently was not very sunny till the day we left). We were under dressed compared to those at Zions and it was a little to cold to hike the narrows. We did lounge by the pool and shop the outlets though. On our way back to the hotel from Zions, we happened to stop at a trading post gift shop to see if we could get a cactus for Kandace. It just so happened that this place had a petting zoo. There were donkey's, deer, horses, bunnies, al pacas, and big horn sheep. We fed them carrots and (I) pet them. While we love vacations, an end to this one was particularly disappointing because we knew when we would be able to have a next one, which is never ha ha. Or that is what it seems like.

March-April

We have two weeks left of school then its off to St. George for a small vacation before we start school and work all over again!! Because I am obsessed with craft blogs I have recently tried a few things I have seen. For Easter I made a wreath out of eggs covered with papers from a book. It took about 4 hours to do, but it turned out really good! Also one of my favorite blogs is Bakerella. We decided to try making some of her cake pops. While they were suppose to be chicks, they just did not turn out like them so we changed them to a more simple design , (Glen's idea) and they turned out really good! here they are! Back in march we had a little March Madness party with our friends and made homemade wings and everything! Also just so everyone knows you don't need any knowledge of the teams to win. I beat glen in our bracket tournament.. had to get that out there:)








Katie was a sleep in this picture haha
