Work Mask!

A couple of months ago at work we had another contest! This one was decorating mask! Well if you all recall back in 2008 or 2009 we did a fish one and I was robbed of first place by a pretty awesome fish done by my friend Abby! This time I wasn't going to be robbed! So on a slow day at work I worked on this masterpiece!!

Oh yes it's fabulous and be jealous of it's awesomeness!

The day before Thanksgiving the results were in and by a landslide.....................
MY MASK WON!!

Here is my fabulous prize! Funny thing was I wanted to register for some of this when Ron and I did our wedding registry earlier that week!

Cousin club!

When me and my cousins were little we had the cousin club! It consisted of:

MeKell - President

Me - Vice President

Claudia - Treasurer

Brittany - Secretary

And

Kimbre - Historian

(The last three flipped and flopped positions all the time but MeKell and I always kept ours!)

Well our poor cousin Brenn who is the youngest of us older girls and just older then the three boys wanted to be in the club so bad. But the for some reason the club kept changing the age and requirements for people wanting to get in!

At Brittany's reception we presented Brenn with a letter of acceptance into the cousin club and put her in the position of Vice President! (Yes I was more then happy to give up my position!)

Brenn's acceptance letter!

All of us together!

Welcome to the club Brenn!

300...........

As many of you know my cousin Brittany got married on November 19th and she asked me to make about 300 mini cupcakes for her wedding reception! It was a lot of work but I made 300 mini cupcakes in five different flavors and five different frosting! So since I went to all that hard work I thought I would share them all with you too!

These are the chocolate peanut butter cupcakes with chocolate frosting and chocolate milk mix sprinkled on top!

The rest of the chocolate peanut butter cupcakes and then carrot cake cupcakes with cream cheese frosting and little carrot slices on top!

The rest of the carrot cakes ones and my lemon cupcakes with lemon frosting and yellow sprinkles!

The rest of the lemon ones and then super fudge chocolate with strawberry frosting and I had cut up strawberries to go on top too!

The rest of the chocolate ones and then lastly the sweet potato cupcakes with marshmallow frosting and cinnamon sprinkled on top!

The rest of the sweet potato ones!

The cupcakes were awesome and everyone said they were really good!

Breaking Dawn part 1!

Oh yes you know what time it is!

The Midnight premier of Breaking Dawn part 1 and the Twilight madness before hand with the other three movies!

Because we are so hardcore we got there at 6am to camp in line! We weren't the only crazy ones because we were numbers 7th, 8th, 9th, and 10th! While we were still in line my future niece and nephew and their dad came to visit Shelia and I let Alexzander take some pictures with my camera! The kid is really good at it, the next couple of pictures on the ones he took!

Of his mom!

Of his sister!

And of his dad Jeremy and his sister!

When I got my camera back I had to get a picture of Rae Ann and me!

And Shelia and I!

Finally at 11am they let us in to sit on the hard floor in the heated theater! Where we all played with our phones!

I also got bored and did some coloring!

On myself of course!

And on Rae Ann too!

Miss Rae Ann and Tina in the theater!

And like every year I had to get my "alum" A.K.A dill pickle!

Yummy!

And lastly Rae Ann and I in the theater! I had a picture of Shelia and I in the theater too but I think my camera ate it!

The movie was amazing and I can't wait to go and see it again!

Gum!

My friend Rae Ann got me a great gift!!

Shaun White gum!! Hehehe doesn't she know me!

Be Grateful!

Since today is Thanksgiving and since everyone has been giving something that they are grateful for each day over this month I figured I would do it in one blog post! So here are the 30 things that I am most grateful for this Thanksgiving!

1. My mom and dad and all that they help me with and do for me!

2. My Llama, Baby, Ducky! A.K.A my siblings! They are some of the best friends I have ever had!

3. My most amazing and wonderful fiance Ron! He is such a blessing and I can't think of my life without him!

4. My best friend Mrs. Tarin Lunt! I know I can go to her anytime and any place and vent, laugh, and cry and she will be so supportive!

5. My future mother in law, sister in law, and my soon to be niece and nephew Alexzander and Kalia! They are truly sweethearts and awesome!

6. My faith and the Lord! With both of these things anything is possible and I couldn't be where I am and survive through all that I have been through without them!

7. The rest of my amazing and super supportive family! We may all be crazy but that works for us!

8. My freaking awesome coworkers and how they make everyday at work great!

9. My wonderful job and all the angels I get to take care of!

10. My fiance's dog! Yes I love Socrates and how he gets super excited when I come over!

11. My health...........Hahaha! I thought that would be funny to put on her!

12. Laughter! It makes everything better!

13. Coca-Cola! This is my coffee and at times my life saver!

14. Arizona! Even though it's triple digits more of the year then I would want it to be I still love it!

15. My amazing wedding photographer, Susie! She did a beautiful job with our engagement photos and I can't wait to see what she is going to do for our wedding pictures!

16. My stunning engagement ring! Yes I know some of you may think this is a stupid thing to be grateful for but I love my ring and it fits both mine and Ron's personality and it is the conversation starter!

17. Music! It's amazing how I can find a million songs to fit and help all of my moods!

18. Comicon! A place where all of us nerds and geeks can be ourselves and not get judged for it!

19. Dressale.com for having my breathtaking, dream wedding dress for only $200!

20. Chocolate! Enough said!

21. The Temple! I'm so glad that I have gone through, get to go often, got to go when my fiance went through, and that I get to get married to Ron there for all time and eternity!

22. Not being blessed with my dad's horrible toe nails! It's hard to run around in sandals or barefoot when you have ugly toes!

23. Fast food! Yes it's bad for you and shockingly I have cut down a lot with eating it but boy is it good!

24. The super tasty oranges off my future mother in law's orange tree! They are like hand picked by God and make you happy in a way that you don't fully understand!

25. Education and the fact that I have some and can go back to school and get more!

26. America and being an American citizen in this free country!

27. Just knowing the fact that N'Sync is no longer together but Backstreet Boys still are even if they only have four members now! Hahaha yes I'm still a fan girl!

28. Football, Basketball, and Hockey! Even though the NBA is not a good topic to bring up to be right now I still love the sport!

29. Movies! It's always nice to know that I have such a collection that I can never really be bored!

30. Thanksgiving and all the tasty food and people it brings together!
