4th of July

Okay, so I know this is a little late, but it's Sunday, and frankly, there's not much to do on Sunday afternoons. Lance and Jace take their naps. Usually if I take a nap, then I can't sleep at night. So, here I am. Anyways...we had a lot of fun this past 4th of July. We decided to get up as usual and head over to the Tooele parade. We didn't get the breakfast they serve this year. Lance's mom came out to see the parade with us. Jace didn't care too much for anything besides the motorcycles that begin the parade. He didn't care about the candy or anything.







Doesn't he look just so happy to be there?

Right after the Tooele parade, we headed out to Magna for the Magna parade with my family. I've never gone to a parade with niece and nephew, so it was a lot of fun. There was also candy there. There weren't a lot of kids around us, so I took my niece and nephew out and showed them to yell for candy and then to hurry and pick it up. It was a lot of fun. It rained a couple of times during the parade, but it made it all the better!









After the Magna parade, we went back to Lance's mom's for a barbecue that night with his family. It was fun. His cousin came with her 1-month old baby, Gavin. It was so fun to hold a little baby again. It made me a little baby hungry. I was in charge of the dessert that night and I was very impressed with what I made!


Here's baby Gavin. He was so sweet and tiny. He didn't even weigh what Jace did at birth.




Check out this cake! It's so easy and the yummiest! It's just 1 white cake mix. Just bake it on a cookie sheet. Then, whip 1 pint of whipping cream. Set it aside. Then mix 2 packages of cream cheese and 4 cups of powdered sugar and fold in the whipped cream. Put it on the cake (after it's cooled!). Then, you can either use like pie topping/filling or I like to make the strawberry danish dessert and add fresh strawberries in. Obviously, on this cake, I used blueberry topping and then did the danish dessert/fresh strawberries. Usually, people make it as a Valentine's dessert, but I did my own thing and tried it as a 4th of July dessert and it was a hit! The whole thing was gobbled up!

Heritage Makers workshop

Hey everyone that reads my blog (if anyone does). I just wanted everyone to know that I will be hosting a Heritake Makers workshop at my house next Wednesday night, July 22. Anyone that wants to is invited to come. It will be at 6:30 PM. It should be a lot of fun. It's such a fun company. Come learn how to put your photos into nice hardbound book, posters, greeting cards, calendars, etc. I know I've done a wedding album for my parents and Lance and I and it's been a blast. So, please come! Let me know if you want to come.

Family pictures

So, I realized that I don't blog as much as I used to. I think it's because I don't ever know where my camera is and I don't like to blog without putting pictures with it. I think more people are in for the pictures than anything. I wanted to blog about the 4th of July, but as usual, my camera isn't around. Then, I realized that I have our family pictures on here from May and I never did put them up. So, anyways, here are some of the best ones of our family.
