Got Cake?

I make cakes for family & friends. Here are a few that I did this summer. The skeleton skull I made for my work Halloween party. The dumptruck was for a little boy in my ward who turned 5. Next is a graduation cake I made for my cousin who graduated from Spanish Fork High. Then the 80th birthday cake for Ray's grandma (done with the help of my sister-in-law Naomi and Melissa helped with the flowers)

I did these cupcakes for my cousins wedding with the help of my sister Jennifer, neice Kaitlynn, Ray, and some neighbors that let me use their fridge to store the finished ones in before the wedding. Thanks! 265 Cupcakes and a 6" round top to cut.

We took a day trip to Moab and Arches National Park on Labor Day. The day was quite an adventure. We (Ray) got pulled over twice for going 5 mph over on the way down to Moab and drove away without a ticket both times. We took on some of the less challenging hikes and vowed to come back leaner and ready to conquer the hike up to Delicate Arch. With a little planning and a healthy amount of luck we managed to avoid the big tour groups and buses around the park. Weather was perfect at the park and then we drove through torrential downpour on the way home. Overall it was the perfect blend of peaceful and adrenaline filled moments. It was exactly the little getaway we needed!

About Julie

Julie grew up with a love of camping and fishing and was often the lone girl on the fishing trips. She enjoys spending time with family playing games, having summer BBQ's, or just hanging out. We met in the glamor of the local 7-Eleven where I worked nights. I quickly realized she was the kind of girl I want to marry because being around her made me want to be a better person. I think she has that affect on a lot of people.
I am in awe of Julie around children. She has an innate sense of what a child needs to feel special and loved. She's currently the primary president in our ward and she puts her whole self into her calling. She loves the children and worries about the ones who need a little extra love just like they were all our own kids. From the time we were dating I knew that Julie's greatest desire was to be a mom. Even when she worked at a daycare taking care of 2 year old kids all day she would come home and just want to have her own.

About Ray

Ray was born in California and his family moved to Michigan when he was 9 years old which is where he grew up. He moved to Utah to attend BYU and we met while he was working at the 7 Eleven near my house. The thing I like most about Ray is his great sense of humor. He is always ready with a clever remark and is good at lightening the mood when things get too serious. He is a fun person to be around.

Ray is very talented. He is an amazing cook and loves experimenting in the kitchen. He has a great singing voice and played the trumpet in high school and in the BYU marching band.

Ray is the most selfless person I know. He is always concerned about how other people are doing and what he can do to help. He enjoys spending time with our neices and nephews and is always looking for teaching moments with them.

Halloween in Colorado

We took a short weekend trip to visit Rays brother and his family in Colorado with Rays parents. It had been 3 years since we had been there and it was a lot of fun to go back. The kids are so cute and getting big. While we were there we left grandma and grandpa with the kids and went to the Colorado Avalanche NHL game. I had never been to a hokey game and it was really fun, the Avalanche won the game 5-1! We played the donut game with the kids and helped them carve pumpkins. Then they dressed up in their costumes and went trick-or-treating around the block. We had so much fun spending time with th
