Happy St. Patrick's Day

March Madness!

Zach was lucky enough to go watch BYU play a few games in the tourney!  He said that watching Jimmer in person was pretty incredible.  Can you believe he is actually wearing BYU paraphernalia?  I can't, but no complaints here!

Cake Decorating 101

Debs and I signed up to take a cake decorating class which was a ton of fun.  Each Saturday for 4 weeks we learned new techniques and got to try out what we learned.

I did not get off to a good start. . .  the first cake I baked totally fell apart when I tried to take it out of the pan. 
However, I redeemed myself and was able to bake something that would work for my first class.
Here is a picture of what my FIRST cake looked like. . . not too bad, eh?
Unfortunately, I forgot to take pictures of my other cakes, my BETTER, MUCH BETTER cakes so don't judge based solely on the picture above.  I actually became a pretty decent cake decorator.

Sochi 2014 Here We Come!

A few weeks ago, we attended our first training session for our 2014 Winter Olympic Curling team ;)  I have to say, Curling is WAY harder than it looks, not one of my best sports that's for sure!
such concentration
Our Curling Coach was very intense, she did take a liking to me however and commented on the awesome "penguin dive" when I released the stone  (basically a nicer way of saying that my belly flop onto the ice wasn't really going to work if we wanted to win).

A Trip Down South

We took advantage of the long weekend and headed to St. George with our friends, the Jones and Mortensen's.  We had a blast just hangin' with good company, got some good grub, and a ton of laughs. The boys were able to get a few rounds of golf in while the rest of us hiked around Snow Canyon.  We even got a day in at Vegas! 
 Thanks to Molly for these pictures, I didn't take my camera out once.
Best Buds!  Franklyn was a good sport and didn't mind getting his hair pulled by Eli
Thanks Granny B for letting us borrow the mini-van!
