Splash of Color

He is coming! Ah I can't believe it, a little less than 3 months and I will be holding my little baby. Tay and I went and registered at Target and I was completely unimpressed with their baby stuff. I am very picky and it just was not working out between Target and I which is unusual. I only  had about 20 items on my list. Well then this lady came up to us because she heard me saying how I don't like any of the car seats and she purposed that I go to BuyBuy Baby! Never heard of it but onward I went and discovered awesome stuff! I am so excited, they are owned by BedBath & Beyond, they have such wonderful things! They are located by South Town mall so if anyone is having a baby soon I highly recommend going, all the employs are very helpful!

Anyways..even after going to BuyBuy Baby I was not that impressed with their section of bedding but I found a cute Owl bedding that has orange, turquoise, and lime green colors (I normal am not into owls but sometimes you just got to break out of your comfort bubble which I have totally done ever since I have started design school). I really like the bright colors and all these ideas went flowing in my head! So I am excited to put my ideas in action! 

Brief interruption of cute chubby baby! :) 

I really don't care to pay 300 dollars for a changing station so I want to make my own I am on a look out but I want to put together/make something like this:

But in orange not yellow.

Well that is it for now, I just wanted to blog while my hubby was working on his lesson for church tomorrow but he is done now so that makes me done with blogging.

have a fabulous weekend!:)

Amazing but not True

Better than Sex Cupcakes (but not really)

I made these for Tay's boss for her B-day and they turned out great! I don't recall the last time I made cupcakes, but it sure is fun! I think I will be baking a lot more cupcakes for people because it brings me so much joy and happiness. Just the name of cupcakes makes me smile, I wanted to be a cupcake for Halloween last year with my man but he is too cool for cupcakes so it never happened. Now it is too late because we are going to be parents and that just doesn't seem like the mature thing to do. 

ingredients:

chocolate cake mix {use duncan hines devil's food} 

heath toffee chips

8 ounces cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup butter, softened

4 cups powdered sugar

 2 teaspoons vanilla

1 can sweetened condensed milk {you only use a tiny bit, so buy the smallest can}

bake cupcakes according to the instructions on the box.  let them cool completely.  beat butter, cream cheese, and vanilla until smooth.  gradually add powdered sugar and mix well.  drizzle a small amount of sweetened condensed milk on top of each cupcake.  (I actually did not add the sweetened condensed milk and they were still way good) let the cupcakes sit for a few minutes before piping on the frosting  and sprinkle with toffee chips. 

Bunch of Yum folks!

Precious Red Head:)

Today was a bitter sweet day.

Last week my Great Aunt Hortense died. Today was her funeral. 

She is married to the last patriarch of the LDS church, Eldred Smith. Together they have helped the church grow so much. They were really good friends with Thomas S. Monson (the Prophet of the Church of Latter Day Saints) So we had the great privilege to hear him speak at her funeral and also M Russell Ballard. The spirit was so strong. The thing I enjoyed about this funeral is that it was not sad, Hortense lived a very full, wonderful life. Like President Monson said, "She devoted and gave all of herself, that is all you can do is give of yourself". He said such wonderful things about her and it made me want to be a better person so that when the day comes that I die, I can know I gave this life my ALL. 

(You can kind of see my baby bump, my cute little individual is sure growing fast, gosh I love him! 

And you can see this is my cute red headed Aunt...age 93 and her hubby is 104 we all thought he would go first but he is still living his life to the fullest!)

Here is my cute Grams (on the left) and Mary. They lost their sister but Heaven gained a great missionary!:)

Tata till next post!
