Strawberry for the 24th!

So for the 24th we went with friends and family up to Strawberry. It was fun, hot, rainy, and not what I was expecting when I thought of us camping. It was really like we found a spot and camped, no bathrooms and water. It was a little too much for me. I love to camp but I like to be in a camp site. It was a good experience and would I do it again, I would. Dexton loved it and just watching him having a blast was well worth it!

What can I say, it's Eric :)

New Cupcake Header!

So I just love my new header that my talented friend Stephanie drew me for my cupcake blog. Can you tell the picture is ME! I love it! She is so talented and if you ever want to see her work I posted her sites and you can buy stuff from her too. She has art and WAY CUTE BABY stuff and she's not even a mommy! I needed a new header because Angie is not going to be part of the cupcake business anymore. She hardly ever did anything with the cupcakes anyways and she is just so busy with her 2 jobs and going to school. I was very sad to say it is going to be "Alisha's cupcakes" and not "Alisha's and Angie's cupcakes" but she is moving on to bigger and better things :)
p.s. she is the one that drew that picture of me and Dexton a while back.

1st attempt!

So I have gotten asked a lot if I can make a small wedding cake to go on top of the cupcake stand. I always say no but I thought "what the heck, I might as well try." So we had a birthday party for my grandma and I told my mom I would make the birthday cake. Well here's how it turned out. I was happy with the results but would NEVER NEVER sale this. There were so.....many FLAWS and mistakes. I can't believe how hard it was and I can't believe how expensive fondant is. No wonder they charge an arm and a leg for wedding cakes.
I'm just going to keep practicing and hopefully one day I can say "Yes, I can make you a small wedding cake :)"

So I was trying to put orange flowers with frosting on the cake and it just kept dripping down and I had to wipe it off and figure out what to do now. That's what the orange stains are.

The fondant cracked while I was putting it on. I tried to fix it but it just got worse. This was the back of the cake OF COURSE!!!

3 Courses...2 People...$20

And I bet you're thinking...it must be half portioned meals. NOPE, FULL on FULL meals and FULL desserts. Yes you can get a whole MOLTEN CHOCOLATE CAKE yum! It's freaking unbelievable. I was seriously shocked when I heard we were getting this. It's the best deal Chilis has ever had and I promise you will get extremely full. So come on in to American Fork Chilis and don't forget to ask for mwah :) I work lunches only though.

I hate my hair!

"I can't believe my mom is going to have me go out in public this way. I'm so embarrassed!"

Happy Birthday Mom!

I'm pretty sure Dextons favorite person is his papa. He absolutely loves him to death!

My mom and dad!

We got my mom this summer purse with a pedicure.

Nana is so nice, sharing her cake with Dexton.

My moms birthday was actually yesterday but we celebrated it today. We went out to Macaroni Grill for lunch. McKenzie was taking care of my crazy Dexton outside so Kenzi wasn't in the pictures...sorry Kenzie. It's always fun hanging out with the fam and Dexton loves his papa, nana, kenzie, and his aunti angie. He actually didn't even want to come with us home, he was trying to grab on anyone but Dave and I.

Our 4th of July

Watching the Fireworks

Dexton loved this toy that lighted up. It was his cousins he got from Disney. Now we know what to get him next time for a souvenir :)

Love Hate Relationship. This is Dexton tackling Jacob for the football...oh wait there isn't a football, it's just Dexton tackling Jacob. They have the funniest relationship. They are so mean to each other but have fun with each other too sometimes. They are only one month apart. These cousins one day will be friends...we hope :)

Jacob and Dexton not fighting

Dextons face expressions when the ball is coming to him are so funny. He was so good at catching the balls though.

Our other tradition is to hang out with Daves family on the evening of the 4th of July. We usually will bbq down by the stadium of fire, throw the football, and watch the fireworks. This year we just bbq'd at his parents house and then drove down and watched the fireworks at the stadium of fire. The fire works just weren't as good as the years before but Dexton loved it and that's all that mattered. Hope everyone had a great 4th of July!

Little Driver on the road...watch out!

Here's my little Dexton on the 4-wheeler waiting for my dad to drive it away. He's hooked now.

Good old Nephi's 4th of July!

He sat there so good while they painted his hair.

I love it! Last year he had stars in his hair this year just red, white, and blue!

They had a day care where we could put Dexton in while we walked around ha! ha!

He didn't really know what to think about the swings. He probably was thinking "I've been to Dinsney 4 times, this ride is weak!" LOL

Every year we have a tradition to go down to Nephi during the day to celebrate the 4th of July at the Nephi Carnival. My parents always have to help out so Dexton got to help out with my dad this year driving the 4-wheeler pulling one of the rides. Dexton loved it but when it was time to go, he wasn't too happy about that.

Stupid Fireworks :(

So Dave bought Dexton some fireworks from Walmart...what a waist of money. They were so dumb and Dexton liked them ok but didn't love them, I guess thats what you get for $10 :) Oh well

Horse!

So my parents neighbors across the street have a horse and my dad has let Dexton feed the horse before. So we got to my parents on Friday and Dexton saw the house and pointed "horse" and wanted to go see the horse. Dave, Kenzie, my dad, and I took Dexton over to feed the horse an apple. Dexton was hesitant probably cause Dave was hesitant to feed the horse. My dad came over and fed it and helped Dexton feed it. It was so cute.
