I'M SO EXCITED!

So far blogging has been great for me especially for my cupcake business. Just today I got this email...

Hi Alisha and Angie,

I just discovered your cupcake business and blog! I love what you do and your cupcakes look/sound great. I recently started a new blog just about cupcakes and Utah. I just posted about your beehive cupcakes and included some of your order and flavor information. Here's the post. I've included a link and appropriate credit to make sure my readers know you took the picture.

I've also included you in our Utah Cupcake Location/Information and Utah Cupcake Lovers pages. I'd love for you to join our Utah Loves Cupcakes Flickr Pool. I frequently pull and post pictures of cupcakes from our pool and would love to feature Cravings more on my blog. If you have any questions let me know.

Thanks!

Becky

My baby

This is the first time Dexton has kept a hat on.

We got to babysit our friends little boy and Dexton and Lincoln had so much fun. Dexton is still not use to sharing his toys. That is still a struggle with him but he did good. Lincoln is so cute and well behaved.

Loves Cupcakes!

Dexton loves mommies cupcakes! I made chocolate covered cupcakes and I was cooling them outside. Dexton found them and this is what happened...

Kangaroo Zoo

Dave looks like he is having fun huh. Like father like son!

A while back we went to Kangaroo Zoo with Daves best friend Adam and his little boy Lincoln. Lincoln loved it and I thought Dexton would absolutely love it...I was wrong. He liked playing with the toys that are at the Doctors office better then anything. I think the slides scared him a little bit. I think he will enjoy it more when he is older though. It was fun anyways. The only thing that sucks about it is if you weigh more then 150 pounds you are not allowed to go on anything, therefore I had to climb the stairs with Dexton and put him on the slide. It was a work out :) but fun!

Christmas Jammies!

I found these Asian clothes at this Asian store...75% off so I couldn't resist, I had to get them for our "Christmas Jammies!" There weren't any big enough for Dave or I would have gotten him one too.

We have had this toy since I was a little girl and it's still a hit with all the grand kids. Papa and Dexton playing on Christmas Eve.

Dexton finding his candy in his stocking. Angie exhausted.

Angie spoiled Dexton like usual. This is a play 4-wheeler she got him. He loved it.

Dave had to fly on Christmas Eve and Christmas so Santa came early for Dexton. His favorite gift was his vacuum. Those that don't really know Dave, Dave is a CLEAN FREAK, ( it's a good thing though), but like father like son...Dexton loves to clean :)

Stephanie, my friend is a wonderful artist and she had to paint different culture mothers in her art class. This is the one she did of me and Dexton.

Chocolate Covered Cupcake Lollipops!

I was thinking and thinking that I need to do something different and saw something like this on line...CHOCOLATE COVERED CUPCAKES! I was going to do it!!! The first batch didn't look so well but the 2nd batch came out pretty good. Here are my new cupcakes!

CHRISTMAS PARTY 2008!

CHRISTMAS PARTY 2008!

So far Dave and I have thrown our annual Friends Christmas Party the last 2 years. We had 22 people in our tiny condo but it was full of fun and love. We ate a ton, played games, and all brought a toy for a child which we will be donating to our friends school. We make sure to have fun but also do something good for someone else. We are all so fortunate this is a great time to do something for someone in need. Last year we raised over $700 for a family that were struggling dearly. Their father was dying, they had no insurance, and were living on nothing. It was the best feeling ever to do something so good for someone else. We are all so blessed in so many ways and even though the economy has hit some of us harder then others we still have so much to be thankful for. ! We have the best group of friends ever and are so happy we could celebrate Christmas together. We are so lucky!

Dexton was watching me get ready for work. I put on a head band and he found one too and brought it to me to put on him. This is us with our head bands :)

WHAT ARE YOUR FAVORITE THINGS?

FAMILY PICS!

About 2 weeks ago we got family pictures done up by 7 peaks. Dexton was good for the most part but got very ancy at the end. Emily Menzie took our pictures. This was one of the few she has done. I thought she did an awesome job especially for being new. She also told me if I refer anyone she will do family pictures for only $80. I actually found her at Chilis. I was serving her and her husband and complaining about how expensive pictures are. She told me she actually is starting to take pictures and she gave me a great deal and I couldn't pass it up. I am so happy I had her do them.
