SOME FUN THINGS

So, I've been really bad a posting pictures along with my posts. So, I wanted to add Joe's birthday in here because he's soo cute. It was a pretty low-key day. We went to the doctor's for the first time for our baby. Then we headed over to BJ's (Joe's favorite restaurant) for some yummy food. Here he is looking so cute.


Joe loves pizzookies. He ate it all himself. As you can see he was very happy about it.

Here we are taking a photo op outside the restaurant.

Now, here is Nolan Michael Quashnick. This is my friends first baby. He was born on September 4th. He's so dang cute. I told Heather (His mommy) that if I wasn't expecting myself that I'd be stealing him and taking him home with me forever.

And now some of my latest creations. Here is my first ever Butt Cake. It was for a nurse and the stuck a real needle in the butt area. The loved it. And yes, the thong was their idea, not mine.

And this is the latest wedding cake I did a few weeks ago.

And Brooklyn's cake. Again it's an old picture but I thought it turned out pretty good. Too bad it melted in the sun. Pretty funny I thougt.

Okay, so I'm done posting old pictures. I'll try and be better about posting them while I actually write.

BELATED SANTA BARBARA POST

Okay, so it's been about a months since Tami, Misty, Lorilee, and myself went down to Santa Barbara for a girl's getaway. We stayed in a nice hotel near the beach and the best part was the Jack Johnson concert we went to. This picture is for Lorilee.
Here we are in our most sexiest of poses. Oh yeah!

Girls just wanna have fun!!!!!!!!!!

Check out the crowd! We were down there for a while but really couldn't see the stage so we went up to the bleachers where there were a lot of people too. I love the colors that hit the crowd in this photo.

Here's Jack singing with Paula Fuga. She's pretty cool. I loved here laid back way of talking.

MMMMM.....breakfast. Misty's dad was so nice and gave her money to treat us to breakfast. What's in that cup there Lorilee????

Okay, I never laughed so hard in my life. This was our excursion to the beach after breakfast and we were "playing" volleyball. And Tami dove for the "ball" SO FUNNY!!!

I had a blast girls. I can't wait to get together again. GO JACK!

WEEKLY CATCH UP

So I thought I'd get on again and say a little about my past week. There was nothing super fun or out of the ordinary. But over all I had a pretty great week. I worked a few nights. D'Boni's is the happening place lately. We've been pretty busy which is a pleasant surprise because this is usually a slow time of year for the business. So, I still have a job and that's good. Monday night Joe and I went out to dinner at the Olive Garden. I had been craving this soup they make there and so we went out and I ate some very expensive soup. Not really, we just ordered a bunch of food and had a great time. Restaurants can be so expensive. But it hit the spot. Then our "date" continued to Target where we picked up the hillarious movie "Baby Momma". I didn't have any desire to see it but Joe really wanted it. Let's just say it's laugh out loud funny. We took it over to the Hansens to watch because Carl was out a huntin'. So we hung out with Lorilee and the kids. We had a good time. The rest of the week I just spent the time on a few cakes I was hired to make. I made my first ever "butt" cake. I think I did a pretty good job. The girl really liked it and that's what matters. Carving the backside out of cake is no easy task by the way. But I forgot to take a picture so hopefully I can still get one from the girl. Then on Saturday I had a pretty busy day. I went to work as usual, but then had to zip on over to the primary practice which I thought was utter chaos. The kids were so hyper that day and Thomas De St Jeor was singing sooooo loud right by my me. I was practically cringing when he hit certain notes. But it was really funny. Then I had to zip on over back to work where I worked until 6. Then Joe and I went to Mikes Road House for a birthday dinner for one of his co-workers. Let's just say Joe got the biggest order of fries with his sandwich that I had ever seen. I took a picture and I'll post it later. I'm kinda lazy at posting the pictures lately. Anyway...had a good time but being prego and all I was beat and it was only 9 pm. So we came home and let me tell you my bed is my new best friend!!! And to finish of my week we had the primary program today at church and the children were amazing. They were sooooo good up on the stand and they said their parts well and sang beautifully. I, of course, started to tear up at the end when the sang "If the Savior Stood Beside Me" I was really proud of them. They worked pretty hard all year learning the songs. Okay, like I said, not a very eventful week, but pretty good over all. I need to be better about writing more often so I don't have mile-long posts once a week.

Okay, so I've been really really bad about posting anything. As you can see it's been over a month now. So, I decided to do a little recap (hopefully) on the events of this past month.
#1. Found out I'm PREGNANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Joe and I have been trying for over 3 years. And let me tell you after so much dissapointment, it is so surreal to actually know I will be having a little baby. I'm due April 20th and Joe and I just went in for the first ultrasound. Little Pinto Bean is doing just fine.
#2. Joe just celebrated his 26th birthday. We had a fun day of going to the doctor and then out to lunch. We ate at his favorite restaurant that just opened up in Modesto called BJ's. It is really good. It was low key and I felt kinda bad about that because the day mostly consisted of the doctor's appointment. But he got a Pizzookie at BJ's and that seemed to make him quite happy.
#3. Just working alot. I shouldn't complain about my job. I just get burnt out sometimes. And with all of the cakes I've been doing lately it's been quite a struggle to keep up with daily tasks. So my bedroom and bathroom are quite the disaster. But I cannot complain about how supportive Joe has been, always making sure I'm okay and I'm not overdoing it.
#4. YARD SALE!!! We had a big yard sale yesterday. I got up before the sun was up. We headed over to my aunt's who let us use her large front yard. We did really good. We made quite a bit of cash and got rid of alot of things. We're trying to lighten our load for our future move in April/May. In the middle of the yard sale I had to head over to Modesto to set up a wedding cake for a lady. Then I headed back to the yard sale. And if I'm not already a glutten for punishment, I requested to work that night. Unfortunately it was Outlaw night meaning all of the city league football teams came in about 9 pm and I didn't get home until around 1 am. I was so exhausted. Everyone could see how worn down I was. Practically in tears-not a pretty sight. I couldn't even make it to church today because I was in pretty bad shape. But now I'm doing great!

Well, that's it I think. oh yeah, I 'd better mention the fun trip us girls took in august. I won't say too much except it was soooo much fun. I love you guys. Lorilee, Misty and Tami are some of the funniest, sincerest and most beautiful people and I'm glad to be your friend. When's our next adventure girls????
