let's get this party started..with a GIVEAWAY!

What better way to celebrate a birthday than with cupcakes!

And I know of some VERY delicious cupcakes.

Meet Alisha:

Alisha started her cupcake business Cravings Cupcakes two years ago and has been selling her amazing cupcakes out of her home in Pleasant Grove, UT ever since. I first met some of her desserts when my sister brought an assortment to my house to let me taste, and since then, I have found desserts to be more favorable than diets. Alisha offers a variety of flavors, along with the option of creating specialty cupcakes.

Cravings Cupcakes is frequently featured on the website Utah Loves Cupcakes because of the cupcakes' addictive taste and Alisha's creative decorating ideas.

Although the cupcakes are only being sold out of Alisha's home right now, they will soon be supplied regularly in a new restaurant in Pleasant Grove as well!

Alisha is not only a talented self-taught baker, she is also extremely generous. To help celebrate this week, she is giving away one dozen of her Darn Good Chocolate OR White Chocolate cupcakes to one lucky reader!

1st Valentines...

Dexton received his very 1st Valentines from a girl :) Our cute neighbor girl Sadie which is 4, brought over Dexton a cute little Valentines. We weren't home so she left it on our door step. I thought for sure it was from my visiting teachers. It was so cute. Thanks Sadie!!!

Our Valentines...

Dextons favorite treat is POPCORN! He loves it and he even loves it with no butter or salt. Just plain. So it's a great somewhat healthy treat and my dad always makes him some when we go to nana and papa's house. When I mention "papa" to Dexton, he always says "papa, dinosaurs, popcorn" His 3 favorite things :)

Me and Angie with our favorite little guy! Happy Valentines Dexton! We love you so much!

I love Dextons face in this picture.

Me and my twinner eating Valentines Dinner! Mmm!

Going to church down with my little Valentines with my family in Nephi. Dave of course was flying :( We missed him so much.

My twinner posing for the camera. Isn't she so cute!

I got my little Dexton a new church outfit for Valentines (plus I have never gotten him one and was tired of him looking sloppy ha ha!) I loved it, I only wish Dave was home to stand by him in his church clothes. He was so cute!

Angie with her Valentines!

My mom made a delicious meal for Valentines! Chicken cordon blue, mashed potatoes, rolls, and a yummy salad. Thanks mom for the Valentines dinner!!!

Just got scammed!!!

So about 5 years ago I won the show case show down on the Price is Right with Bob Barker. Well I won old people stuff (I only say that because the stuff I won you have to have a big home for or atleast a house) like a HUGE dining room set which my mom bought from me and has in her home, a couch (which I just sold yae!) a grandfather clock, a Juke Box (which is cool but who knows when we will ever get to use it) and some other stuff. So my sister n'law gave me the idea to put all this stuff on KSL. We have just been storing it at my parents house for all these years. I just recently put it on and immediately got responses for the couch. And I just sold the couch to some people in Toelle. Well this week I have been getting a guy wanting to buy the Juke Box which no one has even asked about. He told me he would pay me $7000. Holy Crap, SOLD! So we have been emailing back and forth this week and he told me he wanted to do it through paypal. Paypal is really safe, I made sure to call paypal and make sure he couldn't take money out. Sounded safe so I did it. I told him my paypal account and instantly he emailed me back and told me he put 7,650 into my account. He said I needed to take the extra $650 out to pay for shipping which I would need to wire the money to. Ding ding ding RED FLAG! What you need me to wire you $650, doesn't make any since. Immediatly Dave and I was on the phone with Paypal and re read the emails and yes we just got scammed! Freaking idiot! So now Dave just emailed him back saying it will be done soon and give him a taste of his own medicine idiot! Why do people have to be so dishonest! Atleast we had our guard up and didn't wire him the money, but can you imagine if we had. OMG I can't! I can't even imagine what we would have done.

Is he ready???

I haven't been pushing Dexton to go potty but I thought today I might as well try. I bought him underwear (which he has no clue what they are) stripped him butt naked, fed him lots of salty and sweet foods to make him drink a lot and hoped for him to go potty. I bribed him with a toy and candy. A while later I see Dexton squatting on the floor taking a dump. Thank goodness and saw him and caught it in time to put him on the toilet while he screamed. He did not want to sit on the toilet, so I'm pretty sure he is NOT READY yet so I will be trying again in 3 to 4 months most likely. If you have any tips I am opened to anything. A lot of people have told me if they are not ready do not push them so I am trying not to do so.

p.s. I am so mad that I bought this disgusting toilet. After I had to clean the poop out of it I decided never again. I'm going to Walmart today to buy that thing you put over the regular toilet. I know for a FACT Dave would not touch that little toilet with poop in it. They are so disgusting.

Colts vs. Saints

I guess Kings Cakes are big in Louisiana. A lot of the people that came to the party are from there and huge Saints fans so one of them asked me to make it. I looked on line thinking it was going to be this cool looking cake and the results...this. Basically an ugly cinnamon roll. It turned out just like the picture. And they said this was it so I guess this is a Kings Cake. You also are supposed to put a baby or some kind of toy inside it and whoever gets it will have good luck. I just put a couple of toys in it.

Decorated it with a picture of Austin Colley!

Alex cutting into the Kings Cake

Mike's kabobs. Yummy!

Just a little sample of ALL the food we had. But my favorite Wingers Wings. Mmm!

Here is Dexton watching a movie while all the other kids are playing. Dexton is addicted to movies. I hate it and love it.

Watching the game down stairs.

Most everyone stayed down stairs to watch the Superbowl on the Big Screen

Alex and Andy

Most of the girls stayed up stairs and just talked and ate all the yummy food.

Here are the kids playing together...but where is Dexton? Oh he's in the other room watching a movie he has already seen a million times. Dexton is addicted to movies. It's a good thing and Bad.

Madison, Jacob, and Kamryn

Good Bye Mike :(

Our awesome General Manager Mike Greer had to leave us last week. He was transferred to the Sandy's Chilis. It was a last minute call and there wasn't one person not sad over this decision. We loved Mike to death! He by far out of any manager I have ever worked for had his mind on the guest as #1! He would turn over backwards for ANY guest. For one example one day a couple of people came into Chilis, for some reason never got greeted by any server walked out and told the hostess they were leaving and going to Applebees next door. Mike and our other manager Jeff found out rushed out the door ran over to Applebees, hunted them down and payed for their meal and apoligized. Have you ever heard of this? I know in the 8 years I have been with Chilis I haven't! He's amazing and will be missed! But we will for sure be eating up at the Sandy's Chilis. Thanks for everything Mike!

The Ugly cake I made him. We found out the night before his last day so I made this at midnight. It looks like crap I know but it tasted yummy!

Just Pictures!

I don't think I have formally introduced Angies boyfriend Mark Thomas. They have been dating for a while and we're all hoping to be engaged soon!!!
Mark actually went to High School with us. He was a year younger then us and only went his last 6 months there. They didn't know each other then. Mark saw Angies picture on a friends facebook and asked if she was single. He got her number, spent everyday together and fell in love. We all love Mark and Dexton loves his Uncle "Micky" We taught him to say Marky but he calls him Micky.

Dexton loves his baths!

Dave and I always wear a robe and if Dexton wants to get us out of bed he finds our robes and gives them to us hinting to get out of bed. So I though Dexton would love a robe too...nope he hates it, he refuses to put it on. He only put it on here because Dave bribed him with candy. Oh well I bought it after Christmas, only $2 at Ross wahoo! I love a bargain!!!

My little Helper!

Dexton loves to watch me make cupcakes. He is always eying them and always wants to eat them all, but he knows he will get in big trouble if he touches them so he just looks and drools. But I always make some extra ones just for him. But today when I was making an order I saw Dexton laying on his stomach with his feet in the air just staring at the cupcakes I just decorated. I thought it was so funny him just drooling over them. It's so funny too because he has eaten so many cupcakes you would think he would be sick of them, but he's not. He's my little helper!!!
