Mormon ads

Here's the deal. We had a special meeting a couple months ago at church. Instead of going to Sunday school and 3rd hour we were instructed on the new mormon.org initiation. We were told that in the beginning of October they would start showing "I'm a mormon" commercials in the Denver area on the major networks and have billboards up around town.
I was watching the news a couple of weeks ago and I saw my first mormon ad on national television. It was so neat! If you haven't seen any of them, they are very motivational and heartwarming.
Last week Jason told me he saw the Brandon Flowers mormon ad. We knew he was LDS and we knew he was active. I absolutely loved what he said. I loved how he explained that people would tell him they used to be LDS but they sort of "grew out of it" thinking it would give them some sort of connection, but he says, "I was raised in it, and there's still a fire burning in there." I really love how in the end he didn't even mention he was a member of the killers, he just said he was a husband, a father and a mormon. Sure seems to me he has his priorities in order.  I really hope you get a chance to watch it. The other commercials are fantastic too!

Bday package

I got this in the mail on my birthday from my family. (The giant envelope, not the baby)

"Hey mom, what's this?"

"Yum, paper for me to put in my mouth!"

"Thanks for taking away my paper, I'll just have to make due with this... Until I can get to what's inside"

Don't worry I took it away right after this picture, also, no babies were harmed in the making of this post

Hammond's!!

On wednesday we went with our friends Peggy and her baby Marshall to Hammond's Candies! It's a candy factory here in Denver! What's even better is that they do free tours! It was so much fun, really fun rainy day activity for us.

Woke up, not really sure what was going on



Candy making!


At the end of the tour, our fantastic tour guide gave each of the babies in the tour lollipops for their baby books! Evie got pink (bubblegum) and Marshall got blue (berry something..). Evie knew just what to do with it! (good thing the wrapper was still on, and don't worry, I took it away after the picture)




Yay! We had so much fun at the candy factory, thanks for going with us Peggy & Marshall!

Moccasins

Jason's mom's co-worker, and his wife, made these moccasins for Evie. They even did the beadwork! They are so gorgeous. She now has two pairs of moccasins, both beautiful.
I still can't get over the roses! If you click on the picture you can see the details better. Evie even likes them, if you look closely in the picture you can see a small wet spot on the toes of her left foot, where she tried to eat the moccasin.

back to baking

This is from the movie.

This is my replica. I made it for a Harry Potter party we were invited to.

Some cupcakes I made and decorated. The frosting was delicious!
