Summer Update

A lot has been going on with us this summer, but I never seem to take pictures of any of it and we all know a blog post is nothing without pictures! Of course I uploaded these backwards so we will start from most recent... I was inspired by my friend Emily and attempted some gourmet cupcakes. They were delicious! They were chocolate caramel with a chocolate mousse filling and vanilla frosting. Delicious! Jed's Dad was called as Bishop in his ward yesterday so I made these for the large family get together after.

Gavaroonie got glasses (he is 18 months old.. this is Sara's little boy) and I think he is adorable! We were at McDonalds when I took this and he had his arms folded because he wanted to pray. SO CUTE!

We sold Jed's truck :( but we got a new Inifinity Crossover that we love already! I forgot to get a picture of the new car, but I'll try to get that on the next post. We will miss the truck though... Jed asked me to marry him in this truck so we have lots of fond memories of it.

July 20th was my 23rd birthday. I had a delicious meal at my moms house of my favorite Curry Chicken. It was soooo good! Elisse made me some gourmet chocolate cupcakes. They were soooo yummy!
This lighting makes us look sickly... I promise we weren't sick. Thank you family for the fun birthday!
Jed took me to Benihana for dinner a different night and that was a blast too! I love Benihana!
Other things that have happened this summer that I don't have pictures of: Stucki family reunion at a Haunted old school house in Idaho... I am sad I didn't get pictures but this will definitely be a family memory none of us will forget
Cherry Hill family reunion with Jed's family- This year was a lot of fun like always! But my first year of a downpour (not fun! but so glad I was sleeping in a trailer and NOT a tent)
Miles For Michael 5K- Jed and I participated in a 5K at sugar house park with my sister in law Annies family to raise organ donation awareness. Her brother Michael needs a Liver transplant and we were honored to be on their team running in honor of Michael and his late brother Tyler. If you aren't a donor, please go sign up!
So that's our summer so far..... Hope everyone is having a great summer!
