Cupcakes and Cancer....

Recently I've FALLEN IN LOVE with baking cupcakes! Seriously... I go to bed at night thinking about new cupcake flavors! Poor Justin, that's ALL he hears any more! I've caught the cupcake BUG (thanks a lot Roby and Manda)!!! Last month I thought, wouldn't it be great if there was a way I could give back, while at the same time doing something I love? Wouldn't it be great if there was a foundation called, Cupcakes for a Cause? I googled it and guess what? THERE IS!!! It just SOOO happens that September is Children's Cancer Awareness month and CFAC is asking for volunteer's across the country to host cupcake bake sales to benefit their organization. Well as you can guess, I signed up. To make a long story short...er... I've been rallying around volunteers and companies to help donate supplies as well as cupcakes and time. Overall, we have about 400 cupcakes (gourmet, children's and mini's) (200 of which I'm doing on my own), scheduled to sell September 24th-25th at the American Fork Walmart. If you'd like further details on how you can help, please let me know! I am SO grateful for all those who have opened their hearts for such a GREAT cause. I pray it's a success!!!

Yesterday, I went around to businesses to enlist their help; many jumped on board. This is just a sampling...Estin didn't want to miss out. I came into the kitchen to find him "helping" :)

These are just a few I've been trying... Smores: Chocolate cake with a graham cracker crust, melted chocolate middle and toasted marshmallow topping Almond Joy: Dark chocolate cake with a coconut cream cheese filling, milk chocolate ganache and toasted coconut/almonds on top

Dinosaur "Nuseum"

Well, we finally made it to the Dinosaur "nuseum" (see previous post)! Estin was super excited (I have to admit, I was too!) We brought along Estin, Eli and Keaton (the little boy I watch)...what an adventure!!!

Keaton looks THRILLED to be strapped in the stroller!!! :)

I'm SO grateful I don't live during this time period!!!

It's CRAZY how LARGE some of these things are!!!

Estin LOVED the water and sand table!

He looks pretty calm, wonder if he knows what's behind him! :)

It's crazy to think that one day we'll all live together in peace

What a FUN way to finish off Dinosaur week!!

Estin's Preschool...

Estin LOVES preschool! Every day, during Eli's nap, we sit in our preschool corner and have one on one learning. He LOVES it and asks for it as SOON as he wakes up each morning. To switch things up a bit, every Tues. he goes to his friend Seren's house and every Thur. she comes to ours. It's a great little set up! Mon.-Fri. He gets to have school, but at least once a week he gets to go somewhere new. I came home one Tues. afternoon to find him ready and waiting...

Dinosaur Week... Art Project

Endowments...

Our neighbor, Patty, received her endowments today in the Mt. Timp Temple. What a SPECIAL day!! She was also sealed to her parents. Justin and I were so grateful to be invited to such a sacred event. We are SO proud of her!!! She (and her children) have become members of our family!

Ward Camp Out...

Our ward had a campout up Millcreek canyon recently. We wanted to stay the night, but due to already made plans for the next morning, we weren't able to. We did however, get to go up for dinner and entertainment. We weren't dissapointed! What a GREAT ward we have!!!

Our neighbor, Patty...what a crack up!

Eli looks SO BIG!!

Estin LOVES throwing rocks in the river!

A member of the Bishopric, Brother Huber, doing some AMAZING magic tricks!!! He even got the Bishop involved!

'Nuff said

Toy Story 3 Theater Experience...

We promised Estin we'd take him to the Dinosaur "Nuseum" at Thanksgiving Point on $2 Tuesday. What we failed to realize at the time was, everyone and their DOG thought of the same thing! The line wrapped around the building! After driving past about 200 screaming, impatient children and their frustrated parents, we decided to go another Tuesday after school had started. To cheer up a very dissapointed boy, we decided we'd try taking he and Eli both for their first theater experience: Toy Story 3. Overall, it was GREAT! Eli even fell asleep half way through... a definite must do again!!

Haircut Day!

As you can see all 3 of my men need hair cuts! The BEFORE and AFTER'S....
