Ok…so not the best picture in the world, but I promise you this cake was the BOMB.COM!! lol! I LOVE Texas Sheet Cake. It takes me back to living in Chicago with Teri and the Sears familia.

Friday night I got together with a group of my girlfriends from work. We played Mad Gab and had some yummy snacks. I have been dying for an excuse to make cupcake pops (as photographed above) since I saw them posted on Bakerella.com. And then I saw that she had a party at the Pioneer Womans and I knew I had to give in (heehee) and make these! I’ll be honest…I didn’t totally love the flavor of the cake and frosting when I first made it, but I tried it the next day and it tasted a lot better. In the future I’ll definitely not use the entire can of frosting and I want to try new flavors. The girls liked them so I guess that’s all that mattered! It was really easy and fun to make too! Enjoy! Cupcake Pops 1 Box Cake Mix (Any...

Here’s a picture I took of my neice, Selenalei. She’s such a happy baby. Don’t you just LOVE the flower on her head. While we were in Vegas we made a ton of hair clips for our neices. The one on her head is the biggest of them all. I also love this angle because her lashes look cute! I hope you love this pic as much as I do!

My pic of the day is of my neice, Liaina. She doesn’t ever sit still. We were trying to get her to take pics with her Mom and sister, but she kept running around and climbing on rocks. So, we decided to give in and just follow her with the camera. I absolutely love this picture. I’m still in Vegas. We leave tomorrow. I’ll miss this little girl and her sister, Lei…and of couse their fabulous mom, Lini.

I’m here in Orem spending the night before Rina and I fly out to Vegas tomorrow morning. So I couldn’t pass up a chance to snap pics of my baby PoPo. I captured some pretty decent ones. Cutest kid EVER! I have a feeling he’ll be a constant during my year of photography! heehee. The last strip of photos are for Jon because he’s still home in Logan and missed out a fun night with PoPo. He thought he was so funny with his bucket on his head. He also got a basketball and hoop for his 2nd birthday and now thinks he’s a big “baller.”...
