the 24th of July

This picture cracks me up... Chris is in completely and utterly pleased with himself laying on the grass in the REAL salt lake stadium... By the looks of this picture I think he has been dreaming of this moment for a long time :)


For the 24th of July there was a REAL game. I always love going to this game cause of the fireworks... Sitting in the warm air with the love of my life watching fireworks. Can't get much better than this. That's all... Life is good...

Raptors Game



My Aunt Becky and Uncle Jack had tickets to a Raptors game. They weren't able to make it to it so they offered us the tickets. Who would say no to free fun? So after we both got off work we made it to the game just a bit after it had started. While walking in I saw that they had dip n dots! My favorite. So first thing, before we got in our seats I had a nice big bowl of banana split goodness. We found our seats. Smashed in with some very interesting people. They were EXTREMELY into baseball. The older couple next to us each had their own little palm pilot program to keep track of what happened during every inning... Crazy. I had no idea people took this game that seriously. Chris and I officially decided that the game is interesting, (not my favorite, but still fun to see) but the people there are WAY more interesting to watch. It was almost hard to keep track of what was happening in the game between the crazy people to watch and eating my wonderful ice cream. Good thing for the balls that fly up right in the net in front of our faces that give heart attacks and get your attention focused back to the ball game. We ended up leaving a little early since the other team hadn't even scored one point and the Raptors dominated. All and all it was a fun night together. Thank you for the tickets Becky and Jack! They were great seats.

4th of July Post 2009

This year we both had the 4th of July off... It was so fun to not have Chris going to work. My Sister and her family came home from Washington to spend a week with us. I started off the day with going to the North Ogden Parade with my Sister and Ana, Mom, and Dad. While we were at the parade our boys decided to disappear and go mountain biking.

After the parade we came back home and had a family bbq. The whole day we enjoyed playing with family and ate A LOT of food.
Here is my cake I made for the 4th of July... Very festive right? :) It is pretty much just the same as my practice on but this time there was 2 layers. So it had yummy rainbow chip cake with the rainbow chip frosting in between the layers then topped vanilla frosting and then the fondant. YUM!
Here is my sweet little niece. She pretty much is the cutest thing!
That night we had our first family get together at MY house. It was very fun even though we didn't even go inside :) It is probably for the best that we didn't cause pretty much it is a disaster. Atleast we have walls now! We had a great view of the fireworks at Weber High on my front lawn. So we sat on the grass and as you can see in the picture below the boys sat on our roof!
The next sunday after my mom wanted some pictures of us since we were all toghether.
So here we are:
Sean, Amanda and Anahi:The Whole Family:

Pretty much I can't get enough of this little lady when she comes to visit! I just figure she needs as much Aunt Ally time as possible when I get to see her!

Moving Stores

It if official... Chris has moved from the T-Mobile store in Clinton to the store in Riverdale. We are excited because it is a little shorter of a drive and a little step up! He is sad to leave from that store cause he loved the people he worked with and that is where he started with T-Mobile... I just wanted to say that T-mobile has been such a great place for him to work and we are so grateful for our jobs in this tough economy.



- I haven't Updated for atleast a month... So there is like 6 new posts on here now! Pretty much I am a blogging slacker!

366 Cupcakes

These delicious cupcakes were homemade. Chocolate cupcake with cream cheese and chocolate chip filling. I made them for a wedding that was on July 1st. I thought they turned out cute.. Simply, Classy, and very yummy...
This is what I did all day June 30th.
I started at 10 am and made 2 batches of fondant frosting...
12 pm - 8:30 pm was constant cupcake making... They were all made from scratch so there was alot of mixing ingredients, cleaning pans, and baking involved.
11 pm- 3 am start to roll out fondant frosting and cutting out circles, then put circle on each of the cupcakes.
It took all day... But it is crazy to say that I REALLY LOVED it! It was fun so see them all together and watch the boxes fill up... We ended up with 7 of these huge boxes full.
Here I am about half way done with the Cupcakes! Only 3 more boxes to fill...
Thank goodness for my two helpers! My mom and Brother saved me...
