Yummy

I love Fall!!! I have never liked to bake much, I think it's because I really don't like desserts. When people tell me I have to try this yummy dessert at different places, I never feel like oh I can't wait to try it. I don't mind tasting it but I never finish it, not because it's not good, I just don't crave those things. I'm more of a salt person, potato chips, pretzels etc...So I'm not saying I'm so healthy because I think that is worse for you...lol. Anyway, one thing I do love is when I do make desserts, I love to see people enjoy them. It makes me sooo happy!!! This is a pumpkin roll, I always thought it looks so hard to make, so I never tryed it. It is the easiet thing I made on my first try:-)

Then I made these Carmal Apple Cheesecake Bars. They are a little harder with a lot more steps but everyone keeps saying make me some more. I didn't realize how expenise it is to bake a lot. But I will continue to do it because it makes people happy:-) I wish I had a commerical kitchen, so I could see if anyone would buy any of these yummy treats:-)

It was Aja's turn for a party. I let the kids choose one big party that I throw for them. Everyone has had a turn but Kya so I have a few years to think what we will do. I loved doing this one because everything fits into the treat category.

Aja usuing her cute cup she made.

Take home treat. My friend found the cute glass cupcakes at Tipan in the clearence area and the plates were 2 for a dollar, they say "YUM" on them. It's kind of hard to see them but they were cute.

We did have some healthy food.

I'm happy I had almost everything already for the decorating. I love to find clearence dishes. That is my weakness. When I find cute things I see a table all decorated in my head...lol. I try and buy things that can be used in a lot of different ways. If anyone wants to use any of my things That would make me happy. I love to share anything I have.

I'm so thankful for all the people in my life and all the things they have taught me and continue to teach me.

Ipo's Pics

Love this pic of Stac:-) Ipo took all of these pictures with my carera. I love how everyone captures something different in pictures.

Love the 2 forks:-)

Don's hands after dipping the chicken. I love him he is so cute, sweet, loveable, fun, Ok I'll stop:-)

Don and Kev cooking, the way it should be...hahaha...Ipo give me back my camera!!!!

Another Few Days at the Cabin:-)

All my cute grandkids:-) We went to the cabin again. It's so nice there, I hate to come home.

Kev riding Bransons ATV. I rode it but way too scary for me, and I love to go fast.

I always try and bring different things that the kids can do. I remember blowing these when I was a kid. I had a lot of fun playing with the kids. I hope they will always remember these fun times. Again I want to thank Bruce and Shelly for sharing their cabin with us.

Kee'Onu and his friend Austin

Brans and his ATV. I didn't get this approved to put on my blog by him, but I think it will pass...lol..I hope we can do it again real soon, and next time Don won't have to go to a business meeting:-) I miss him so much when he is not with me.

Hettrick Mini Reunion

We had a mini Hettrick reunion. My brother said he will be going out of town for a few months and would be nice to see everyone before he goes. Oh how I love text, I had it planned within 2 hours.

We played beach ball volleyball. Everyone loved playing even the little kids could play:-)

My brother was so cute with the kids telling them stories.

My mom and her sister and brother

Aja and Kyrie won money from the pie eating contest

I love family things and I think it's important for the cousins to be close. It just goes to show it doesn't take much for everyone to have fun together. My aunt and I will be planning the big Hettrick reunion next year. I can't wait!!!

Manti Pageant & The Cabin 2011

Cute little Kya:-) We decided to go to the Manti Pageant and the cabin this year. We had a great time but the pageant was a little too long for the kids, so we ended up leaving early.
I love how Ben is using Noelle's arm for his pillow. I love these 2 kids. I am so thankful Kevin and Maria trust them with us. I think it's so nice to have them come with us and build those memories. Kevin and Maria also give the kids a turn to go with them camping.
This is the beast "Rhino". We had a great time looking for lizards in it. We went like 2 miles an hour, so most of the time I walked. Bruce and Shelly have been so giving letting us use the cabin, Rhino, and everything else. We have always been the type of friends that what is mine is yours. We just don't charge each other for everything. I think if more people were like that we would all be wealthier in so many ways.
Stac & Ipo. Stac didn't feel very well at the cabin but at least this was a good couple of hours.
The group of cute kids that went with us. I'm like Stac in that way the more the merrier:-) Love building the memories!!!

Hands

One of Branson's friends' mom took these pictures. One is her grandmother hours before she died and the other one is her grand baby hours after birth. She titled it "Hands". When I look at it I think of the veil and our Heavenly Father and how close they both are. I just bought me another camera hoping to touch someone in the way I was touched by this picture. Pictures have always been one of my favorite things. Everyone knows when I show up I have my camera with me. Thanks Tia for the inspiration.
