These are cupcakes that I recently made. I love LOVE to make cupcakes. My favorite are the mini cupcakes. These are a combo of chocolate mint cupcakes & chocolate chocolate chip w/a homemade chocolate butter cream frosting. My frosting is plain butter cream, I hate butter cream. It also has sour cream in it, for a creamy & smooth texture.


















These cupcakes are a Devil's food w/white chocolate chips in it and cream cheese frosting. I made about 5 1/2 dz mini cupcakes. 3 dz went to Rusty's cub scout Den meeting and then I of course gave a ton away. I love to bake, don't necessarily love to eat it. These ones, Kennedy did all the decorating herself. Both of the kids are learning they love to cook. Rusty loves to cook &

Kennedy loves to bake.

Things I've recently made

I've decided to upload pictures of things I've recently made or things I'd like to make. Since this in my journal.

1. This is a little booklet I made for my Weight Watchers journal, it's got my journal where I keep track of what I eat, I also made note paper in the back for random notes for whatever reason. Orville made the weight watchers journal part. What a talented hubby on the computer.

2. This is a baby boy card I just made this week for a friend who gave birth to their 6th child. 4 girls & 2 boys. Way to go!

This came from a friend of mine & I couldn't say it anybody myself, so I just copied her words. DITTO!


Today I was driving to lunch, listening to the radio when I heard something so ridiculous, I laughed...then I was just annoyed.
The simple word
{ PRAYER }
has been deemed "unconstitutional" to be said in schools...because the WORD
{ PRAYER }
might possibly lead to questions involving religion and/or God.
Are you kidding me?

Over 90% of Americans believe in God...why is it that less than 10% can have such a crappy impact on EVERYTHING??

Nobody cares if you believe in God, which God that may be, or if you don't believe in anything and think we ended up here on a whim...Nobody is asking anybody to actually PRAY, but some how we are now deeming a simple WORD

UNCONSTITUTIONAL!!

What is wrong with this world!? What is wrong with this country?? If you don't believe something that someone else believes, does that make it wrong?? Does that make it offensive?? Does that make it

UNCONSTITUTIONAL??

Freedom of religion is one of the reasons so many died in order for America to become free. Doesn't freedom of religion include the freedom to NOT believe whatever you want?? Just because God isn't something or someone you believe in, we all have to suffer without him?? What about the 90% of us that DO believe in God?? Maybe it's OFFENSIVE to me NOT to have the word PRAYER used in schools. If someone doesn't believe in God and there is a prayer said...can't that person just be respectful and have a moment of silence to think about whatever it is that they do believe in..??

What happened to this great country being the "Home of the Free" & "One Nation Under God"?? We are now spending our time and money to have words deemed UNCONSTITUTIONAL

Who has time to do this BS?? And why..??

This is becoming the Home of the Cry Babies that want their 15 minutes...

DITTO RANDI!!

Why spend $25/month

Someone please tell me why I was wanting to spend $25/month for the gym? I've got an elliptical trainer (on loan from an amazing friend), a Total Gym, a treadmill, hand weights, exercise ball, step, & videos galore. I've set up a portion of my room w/this equipment. I've even printed out daily exercises. Not only will I save $25/month, I'll save about $25 in just gas if not a little more, I'll save time. My house will be cleaner, I'll get more time w/Kennedy. So not sure why I was so eager to go. I do like the social aspect & that I miss a ton already. I miss taking Powerflex which is taught my one of my closest friends (she rocks by the way). She is my motivator. So today was the 1st official day of my entire workout at home. Kennedy was able to watch tv in my bedroom, while I did 1 hour on the elliptical. I took a break to get a few things done and then I came back to my weights. Today was leg day. Everyday is cardio and abs, but then I have it broken down into legs, arms, shoulders/back, buns & abs, & just abs. So here's for trying something new. Today was a great day, I feel great. So here's to me looking great by my birthday. I want to look better at 32 than I did at 22.

Family Photos

These photos were taken up at the Mesa Arizona Temple. It's been SOOO long since we've done pictures, that it was about time. Kennedy is quite the ham, she LOVED having her picture taken in all the trees & such, as you can see Rusty didn't. Gotta love being 9.

HaPpY AnNiVeSaRy!

Happy Anniversary Orville. Today is our 10yr! Wow, time sure flies. It's a been a wild & fun ride. Thanks for always being there for me. Thanks for putting up with me and all that I bring. I love you. Here's to ETERNITY!
