Favorite Photos of 2010 - Part 1

Whidbey Island at dusk.


Assateague State Park in Virginia. On our way for a day at the beach.


View of Mt. Rainier on our way to camp at Cispus river for the weekend.


Camping trip with Ericka to the Cispus River. I love this river! My grandparents used to have property not far from her when I was a kid. It brought back some great memories. We found a great camping spot right on the river. To get away from the deer flys we hung out in chairs in the middle of the river for hours.

Merry Grinchmas 2010!

Posting two days in a row. What has gotten into me? The Christmas spirit!

Here's my little Christmas creation.

This one's for you Sarah!

Always fun to meet up with the girls for breakfast at the Rusty Pelican Cafe!

I Can Bake...Part 2

I've been wanting to learn how to make my Grandma Marie's homemade fudge for a long time now. Growing up it was a must on Christmas Eve get togethers and I always asked her to make it for my birthday. This year, I spent some time with Grandma learning how to make her special fudge recipe. We had such a fun time and the fudge is delicious!

Here's some photos I took along the way:

Isn't my Grammy Cute?! She 90!

I Can Bake...

And I have proof!



I really should bake more often. I do enjoy it and I'm quite good at it if you ask me :) I guess I'm a bit spoiled with cupcakes from my friend Amanda. She brings in homemade cupcakes every few weeks (if not sooner) to work so I definitely get my fill of baked goods.

I've been meaning to post about Thanksgiving and my pie baking but that hasn't happened. I think it's a little late since it now almost Christmas. I will post some pics of my baking experience though!

Here's the pie crust I made by scratch. It turned out perfect.






And the finished product. So Yummy!





Here's a few self portraits with my Ma. We're both excited to eat pie.




And here's my Dad. He's in shock that I just busted out two pumpkin pies for Thanksgiving.

Countdown...

To see my girls! 3 weeks and 2 days to go.

Gobble! Gobble!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Don't Mess with Me!

I went to dinner with my cousin Ericka tonight. Had a fabulous time as always until I got to my car... I walked up and saw that a car had parked illegally next to me. The car was so close to mine that I had to crawl in from the passengers side. So ANNOYING!!

Then I remembered I had this lovely little card...

I slapped it right on their windshield and was on my way!

New Moon tomorrow night!

So excited to see New Moon tomorrow night!


HeHe!

Edward and I make such a cute couple. We are so in LOVE!

Halloween 2009

I love making my costume for Halloween each year. No lame store boughts for me! This year my friend Amanda and I decided to be Lady GaGa at the MTV VMAs. In case you missed the VMAs, GaGa had many costume changes through out the night.

So here is a picture of Lady Gaga at the VMAs:


And here is me as Lady Gaga (I feel a little bit like Disco Duck!):

We won Most Creative in the Halloween contest at work. Yes, we wore these outfits all day long at work. Scored a 25 buck gift card to the local Thriftway. Woot Woot!
