Overdue Update

The past few week have been crazy busy with family in town, getting sick, Nate's paintball tournament, lots of time spent in the car, & TWO new cakes.

It all started with my sister and my two adorable nieces coming into town! They have been out of there house now for over two months due to water damage, and needed a break from the hotel, and we were more than excited that they decided to come into town. I headed up the weekend that they came into town and played lots of games with Ellie I love that she is so smart and active with me! She has such a creative mind. I also became Lila's favorite to look at, but not to come to. She is so cute!

On the downside to that trip the girls got sick.... And it of course was contagious so needless to say we all came down with it all except my Dad. I need his immune system.

After coming home I unpacked and repacked for Nate's Paintball tournament in Mesquite. It was the finale event of the season and it was a HUGE event. Randy Couture was putting on this event for the GI Foundation Charity that he started. It was an eventful weekend. It started with paintball during the day then they had some MMA fights Saturday night.



Nate went down earlier that week to help set up this event, and I have to say he did an amazing job. Him and Pat basically built everything out on the field, and he was so excited to show me his handy work!
At the fights we got to sit on the 3rd row, and it was a lot of fun to be that close. There were a few Celebs there. Dana White, Randy Couture, and Frank Mir.

When I got back from that weekend I tried to get us both unpacked and laundry done in the middle of it all I got a phone call from my sister asking me to come back up to Idaho.... So I got repacked and headed back up to Idaho to help with the girls and give them a little break. It was fun to spend time with them. Here are a few pictures from Idaho.




While I was in Idaho I made a cake for my sweet friend Amber's Baby shower with help and ideas from my sister here it is.... (It is a Cherry Chip cake with Cheese Cake and Strawberry in the middle)
I also have my final Course two cake that I had to finish. I made this cake for Nate. He wanted a White cake with strawberry filling.

The glass plate that it is on was given to me by my parents, and it belonged to my Great Grandma Buckley and I love it so much it is so beautiful and has a lot of character! Thanks mom and dad!

That is an awesome cake. So talented my gosh. Poor Brittney and the flood damage. That would be so frustrating to live in a hotel for that long. Ugh.
