My Beautiful Blanket

For everyone's birthday this year, my mom made us a blanket. But because this was my 12th birthday and I was in Young Womens we decided that I should help and we could count that as one of my ten hour projects. (although it was more like a ten day project!)

I had to cut each individual square out, and it took forever. This white fabric was really fuzzy and by the time I was done cutting I was covered in a layer of fluff!

The finished product! It's really warm.

doughnuts, Doughnuts,DOUGHNUTS!!!

Yesterday we decided to experiment with doughnuts. It was very messy.(which was one of the reasons it was fun!) By the time we were done I was covered in flour, as was the kitchen. But the doughnuts were delicious! They were very fluffy and sweet. We got to dip the doughnuts in glaze when they were done cooking. I was in charge of the frying, which resulted in quite a few burns, but it was worth it!!! Shelby shaping the doughnuts.

I had to use the end of a wooden spoon to transfer the doughnuts into the oil, then onto a wire rack. This doughnut kept falling through the gaps in the rack.

So tempting! Mmmmmmmmmmmm. . .

Dance Party

Ugh, I'm exhausted!
Stripper at the dance party!!!
So graceful!!!(Jessica would be proud.)
Rock on!!!
one o'clock, two o'clock, three o'clock. . .

Zoo

Cassie and Shelby really enjoyed the cougars.
The CUTEST baby elephant was born at the zoo a few months ago, its name is Zuri. We were sitting there for about half an hour just watching it. She's adorable! Lily became obsessed with it and didn't want to leave : )

Birthday Party!!!

My friend Shayni (far left, second picture) was goofing off and would suddenly walk over to the wall, lean against it, tilt her head, and put her hand up to her forehead. She did this quite a few times at random moments during the party. So we all stood up against the wall and mimicked her for a picture.


My grandparents from Las Vegas called to sing happy birthday to me. While I was on the phone my friends put fake flowers in my hair. I had them there for the rest of the party.

Hi Everyone!!!

I should probably change the name of this post to hi no one, since these are the first few minutes of my blog's life. but I decided I should have a nice name for my first post. I'll just hope that I get a few more followers, so that I'm not the only one. ( That would be just sad)
Ok. The reason I decided to make a blog is because Everyone's moved away! First Mike and Lindsey, then Jessica,(and Brian is out fighting) and of course Jon, Alicia, Curtis and Evelyn live out in the middle of who-knows-where. and you can't forget my grandparents in Las Vegas. So this is my way of keeping in touch with everyone.
I love you all!!!
check me out sometime,
