fambam!

good. better. best.
i got to spend some time with my friend awhile back,
and everytime i end up being with them...
i'm reminded that i need to be better.
a better friend.
a better daughter.
a better sister.
a better person.
my friend is just that good.
so mostly lately i've been focusing on being a better big sister.
don't get me wrong...
patience is not a trait i've aquired quite yet,
and i'm not exactly super fun,
but i'm working on it! :)
tonight my mom and Doug went to their marriage class up at the church, and I got to babysit.
(so lately, i've gone kind of crazy about making cupcakes... and i went to a little cupcake class and i learned how to make modeling chocolate! it's pretty much a better-tasting fondant.)
so guess what we did?
...
made cupcakes!
well, i made them earlier today.. from scratch!
it was my first time ever making them from scratch.
and i whipped up some cream cheese frosting...
and made modeling chocolate! woowoo!
so yummy. and so unhealthy. oh well? hehe.

here's mine.. i tried making a flower.. but oh well. haha it's gone now!

sarah made a bug with hair...

david made a... wand?

ya know... i'm not really sure what Grace did.

Jenna made a "J W" for Jenna Welch..

cutie pie Amilly girl.

Claire just ate the cupcake.:)

a "C" for Cassidy.



I really am so grateful for my family.
They have all blessed my life in ways I can't even being to try to explain.
Yesterday I got to attend a little birthday bash for my grandma on my dad's side! She's a whole whoppin' 75.
(but she doesn't look a day over 25...;))
it was just so great seeing that part of my family too!
man. i just love them all so much.
How'd I get so lucky?
Heavenly Father really has blessed my life.
