Idaho. Bad Weather. Roman's 3! Cake Decorating Pros.

*No, this is not what I did on Friday. I'm still waiting for something to come in the mail!*

This is a "I've been slacking and this happened around 3 weeks ago, but is post worthy" post.

So, first and most importantly--I was in Idaho for my bestie's son's birthday party. THIRD birthday party. I can't really believe those 3 words. How has it already been three years since the day I met his 4 pound self in the hospital?! Wow!

I do have to say though, that the older he gets, the better the parties are! He is so animated about everything! He went cake shopping with us and was so let down when we walked out of almost every store without a cake!

"Where my birt-day cake?!" he kept saying over and over.

To calm him down, we tried to give him some rice krispy treats (Every kids favorite, right?)

Wrong.

"I don't yike it."

--I might have given him things all weekend (knowing he didn't like them) so I could hear that adorable phrase.--

It was a football themed party this year, and since Roman doesn't just sit in one place..it's a bit of a challenge to get multiple good pictures of the kid. (Unless you count a blurry, motion picture as a good picture.)

This years dilemma was the cake! Mari forgot to pre-order the cake and all cake stores need at least 24 hours notice! What were we to do?!

Well, we finally resorted to buying to ColdStone cakes (has to be ice cream cake!!)

Totally football themed, right?

Yeah..we had a little work to do!

This was the end result and I think they turned out SO wonderful!! Especially for this being our first time acting as cake decorators! I think we took up an even harder challenge being that these cakes were ice cream cakes! Decoration=takes lots of time + ice cream cake=melts in no time= Not a good combination!

But we handled it, and they turned out so cute! Roman even "yiked" them, so that was a plus, too!

Another plus was whoever bought him his "I-Man" (Iron Man) action figure. The kid could not put it down. (See pictures!)--I think I-Man may have even had a little taste of the cake. How sweet of Roman to share!

The drive home was really scary. The weather was bad! In fact, it rained non-stop from Friday until Sunday, and didn't slow down at all on the way home!

As always though, it was good times, and totally worth the drive! Next up, Presley's SECOND birthday party! I cannot believe how fast the time is going!

One week- No posts- No bueno.

I haven't had a chance to post yet this week and probably won't get one, so I'll do a quick update. Nothing super exciting going on right now..I do have some pictures from fishing last week that I'd like to get up here soon!! Maybe I'll shoot for those next week! We discovereed a little fishing pond within a couple miles of our new place and have definitely got our money's worth for our fishing license's so far this year!

The beginning of this week, my Grandparents ordered supplies to redo their roof so Trav went and helped with that a little bit.

Last night we were both tired so Trav suggested going and renting a movie and just kinda hanging out, so that's what we did! Here's the downfall though,

Travis

picked out the movie.

Travis

decided he wanted to get The Fourth Kind. (Super scary!!)

and the best part...

Travis

fell asleep during the movie, and left me to watch it by myself!

Thanks Babe :)

* I must give him a little credit though, he did wake up every time I nudged him and told him he just *had* to watch the next part with me because I was going to wet my pants. What a sweet man. Also, if you have not seen that movie, SEE IT!! Definitely the scariest movie I've seen in a minute!

Tonight we're going to an orchestra concert where we're excited to see my little brother and cousin play in the orchestra!

Tomorrow I'm going to Idaho for the weekend!! So excited to go down there and hangout for a weekend! It feels like it's been forever! Plus Presley's turning one so it will be fun to get everything set up for her party, and take lots of pictures!!

Next weekend we're *hoping* to go camping. It all depends on the weather. So, here's to hoping that the end of May brings fantastic weather!! ( I know, that shouldn't even be a request, but apparently in Utah Spring is the new Winter.)

The weekend. Out of order.

I had a fantastic weekend! So fantastic that it is going to take two posts! I will post the other one a little later tonight though :)...dun dun dun.

Saturday afternoon we (Me, Kassi, Jon) decided to take a drive up to Idaho to hang out with the bestests. It was as random as my best friends husband texting me saying "Come to Idaho" and me saying "Deal"

Saturday night we went out and had a blast as always! I saw Tyson Cranney!! (A guy I graduated with) It has been so so so long, so that was really nice!! I also met a couple Deaf guys who use relay...and the best part, they even use the company I work for. I'm pretty proud of myself because we had 1/25 of our conversation through ASL. Due to my limited knowledge of ASL though, we switched to texting. :) It was really cool to get out and talk to and see someone who my work benefits. It's so nice to provide such a wonderful service and get paid to do it!

Sunday afternoon we woke up and went shopping and Mari made the most delicious enchaladas that I've ever had! In fact, I'm making them again tonight, haha. (Thanks again Mari!) Then we took pictures because her children were being so photogenic. (Actually, every child is photogenic. Even when they don't want to be. I'm a fan of tantrum pictures. Not gunna lie.) Here are a few of the pictures I took of Roman and Presley. They are both SO adorable!
