Weddings and Flowers my second newest hobby!

Alex, my little sister, got married!

 It was such a wonderful thing to be a part of. Alex and Jordan Eliason were married in the Portland Oregon LDS Temple! It was beautiful. They are so lucky to have each other. Kristen took all the pictures and they turned out amazing! I made the cake and did all the flowers.

 This is not the greatest picture or me! But, here I am bright and early Thursday morning. I had just finished Alex's bouquet and was working on Jordan's boutonniere.

 Sisters!!

I had a lot of help from several different people especially my husband and dad. I would also like to give a shout out to Jessie, our little Jodi in disguise, who had all the know how about weddings and flower arrangements! Meryni Hall and her family, the talented Mathews girls, and Eric. All great helpers with such an eye for decor! I basical told them what I had, what I was thinking of doing with it, and where I thought I might want it, and they made Alex's reception a fairy tale. There were several other helpers and I could write pages and pages of how much everyone helped out, but I wont. Thank you again to all those that helped!

Oh, I forgot to mention I actually made 4 cakes! I made a daisy cake for Alex's gardened themed shower!

Cakie Cake!

I have two new hobbies! I have to give all the credit to my bestest friend Kristen for the first one. She inspires me to try new things and be proud of my new accomplishments. She is an amazing wife, mother, sewer, cake maker, and best friend! Anyway check her blog out she pretty much rocks! Now, back to me! ha! Here are the second ever cake made and third ever cake made. I unfortunately don't have any pictures of the first. I have three more on my to do list for this summer so far, and two of them for next week! I am super excited to see how they turn out!

Adventures with Aunt Shere

We haven't beem keeping up with our blog...I know I am very sorry. Hopefully I will be able to update y'all on what has been happening over the past two months. Just a little hint... I made three cakes, Alex got married, Josh finished school, a few sewing projects and so much more! So stay tuned to see it all!

As for today...Aunt Sheree invited me over for a swim in the pool and then we went on a mini road trip to a farm and nursery out by Gervais. It was called Bauman Farms and Garden. It was super cool and had  some amazing hanging baskets! They were huge. They also had the yummiest strawberries and raspberries! I don't know if the picture does it justice but the petunias in the baskets were ginormous!

What we have been up too!!

So I have not been keeping up with my blogging. I know that is very lazy of me. It just seems like we aren't really doing anything exciting, and who wants to read about that!
Well, back in January it was my birthday! We didn't have camera but everyone else did, so if you want to see pictures of that tell my mom to update her blog! Valentines Day was pretty awesome. I got flowers, a new mug, and a camera. The Camera was OK but we decided to return it. So here are some pictures of what we have been up too!
Josh has been doing a lot of this...

I got some of these...

And, I tried out a camera...

Oh, I love Carnival glass, really antique or not. No matter if it is real or fake. I got this bowl at the antique mall in Newport. Some told me it was fake and I paid to much, but I don't care it has great memories of a trip to the beach in it. Oh and it is really pretty!
