Getting ready for the Holidays!

Deep Cleaning the house, getting ready for the Holidays.

These pictures made me laugh!

I needed that!

This one is for you Tara!Stupid

Seriously!

Ok....here are a few great recommendations:

Toledos Carpet Cleaning: 680-0170

Window Cleaning: 632-4176

I do not have my house cleaned on a regular basis,

poor me, I have to do it myself!

But I do love clean windows!

These guys even cleans all your mirrors inside!

Streak Free!

Clean Windows makes your whole house feel cleaner doesn't it?

I have never really had to clean my carpets before grand kids!

Well and of course because we move every 2 yrs.

We are now past the 2 yr. mark....

I am sure we will stay put for awhile until the market recovers!

I am having cleaning ladies come this week,

I have had them clean before on occasion,

and I do not know what they clean the Toilets,

Showers and Sinks with,

but they stay spotless forever!

I am excited! (funny what excites a woman)!

Clean Toilets, Showers, Carpet and Windows!

312 Minis

Little Babies.....

1/2 chocolate with choc. cream cheese frosting.

1/2 vanilla with vanilla cream cheese frosting.

This was 1 of a 2 part order.

I will be making the other 220 on Thurs.

Piece of Cake!

Ha Ha!

Need a Great Book!

I need a good Read!

Any suggestions?

(Like any of us have time to read)!

I want to take a good book on vacation.

I always take one, but never find time to read it,

I have been such a night owl lately, you never know!

Yes....I have read the Stephenie Meyers vampire series.

LOVED IT!

HELP! Need some recommendations!

Baptism Cake and Cupcakes

Our church believes that at age 8 a child is accountable.

So that is the age they are baptised and confirmed a member of the LDS church. I made a Baptism Cake and Cupcakes for Jacob a little boy that was just baptised.

His Grandma called me to make him something special,

with a spiritual connotation, but boyish.

I really had to brain storm about this.

So I made a sword cake, representing the stripling warriors.

The Shield I bought and then altered it by

putting Jacobs name on it.

The papers in the background have the scriptures for putting on the Armour of God,

and the Picture and story of the Stripling Warriors.

The Cupcakes are in gold wrappers, have gold chocolate coins(shields)

and I wrote CTR on them.

The Book of Mormon is opened to Alma.

Jacob loved it!

When I got back to his Grandma Peggy,

she loved the idea and said that they actually collect swords.

So it worked out good I think.

Chocolate Cake with my homemade fondant,

and Vanilla Cupcakes with Vanilla Butter cream.

The sword(I wish I would have taken a close up)was gray fondant

on the blade with decorating silver powder brushed on,

the guard was gold fondant with gold powder dusted on to make it look like real gold.

It also had embellishment's of black scrolls, black diamond shapes

with Red Jel topped with Red sprinkles to look like Ruby's.

The handle, black fondant with rolled stripes to look like leather.

It was a fun project!

A Halloween Cake for a Great Guy!

Happy B-Day Camden! You are a Great Person!

I was so happy to make you a cool cake!

Cam's Cake had a can in the top that we filled with Dry Ice and it Smoked Fog out the Top.

It was fun!

Halloween Cupcakes

I made Cupcakes for a Modbe Party tonight.

They used my 4 tier stand and every layer was filled with Halloween Cupcakes.

Hummingbird, Chocolate and Vanilla.

They looked cute.

I made these containers for some neighbors etc.

Before and After

This is really hard for me to do...I hate pictures of myself!

But I wanted to tell my teeth story.

Ok....I really need a facial, a good nights sleep and a makeover.

Maybe a little Botox! Heck, a little makeup wouldn't hurt!

Dr. Peterson......

MAYBE THE EYES, NECK, THE WHOLE FACE!

PENCIL ME IN!!!

But, here are my new teeth!!!

I am so glad they are done!

But Seriously...if anyone out there is thinking about having their teeth capped or lumineered.

The anticipation of pain was the worst part for me.

Once I was actually at the Dentist, it was great.

I never had ANY pain!!!!!

Really!

My Dentist Dr. Staples is the best!

He always kept me numb, I had the Nitro,

His staff is amazing too!

They are very very competent!

I highly recommend Dr. Staples and Staff!

More details:

Read on if you are interested:

I got along so great with the Nitro (gas) and numbing, that I do not think I would opt for the Conscious Sedation again. I had it twice, and once I had the Nitro and Numbing.

My dental work took three visits.

First: 1 root canal, Grind down top teeth, apply temps on top.

Second: Grind down bottom teeth, apply temps on bottom.

take temps off of tops and apply Permanent teeth.

Third: Take temps off bottom, apply Permanent bottoms.

I had this done, because I wanted my bottom teeth straightened, and my silver fillings drilled out and filled with white.

The top teeth seemed fine to me.

After consulting with Dr. Staples, he recommended that I have every tooth capped and lumineers on the front 6, because...my teeth had such large fillings, they could not really drill them out without my teeth cracking and breaking. I already had some cracking which he showed me.

I needed 1 tooth recapped. If you do a few teeth at a time, the dentist cannot alter the bite, length, etc. But if you do all of your teeth at once, the dentist can alter and build the teeth to be esthetically right and perfect. I guess I had never really noticed that when I smiled, my gums showed on the top. But, after pointing that out to me, I was Yea.....

So Dr. Staples also lasered my gums up so I now have a longer tooth, and no Gums showing!

If you click on the top picture and enlarge...(ohhh scary) you can see my top gums showing a lot!

I also opted to do the Elites on the front 6, which means they have some minor imperfections, made to look like real teeth.

I went 1 shade whiter than my real teeth.

So long story, but if you are looking into doing this... I highly recommend it.

My bite feels great! I have never been in pain or uncomfortable at all!

Insurance does not pay for much if any of this, but Dr. Staples will give you a cash discount, and in a few visits, your dental woes are over!

My Husband Kendall has also had all of his teeth capped.

He had his done over like a year.

I am glad I had all mine done at once!

I think it really does work out better.

I have to go in for cleanings every 6 months, but I shouldn't have to have any more dental work done for 15-20 yrs.

That alone is worth it!

Call Dr. Staples!!!!!

What does 400 Cupcakes look like?

These were for a Wedding Reception tonight.

They were really fun to do.

I made CHOCOLATE CAKE WITH CHERRY WHIPPED CREAM

AND A MARCHINO CHERRY ON TOP.

VANILLA CAKE WITH VANILLA BUTTER CREAM

AND RED SPRINKLES.

HUMMINGBIRD CAKE WITH CREAM CHEESE FROSTING

TOPPED WITH LITTLE FONDANT FLOWERS.

CONGRADULATIONS KIRBY AND JOSH!

SEWING BABY BLANKIES

I made taggy blankets, rag blankets matching burp cloths, and gift cards.

The Corridor in Cabo

This is Jenny on her first dive.

I can't wait!

It will be sooo fun.

You know when you love something so much

you want everyone else to love it to?

Has anyone dove at Pelican Rock or the Corridor in Cabo?

We love the Caribbean, it is just so amazing!

We have dove in Cancun, and The Cayman Islands.

I hope we are not disappointed with the Pacific!

As long as it's not like Sand Hollow!!!

It was just downright scary!

Preparing for our little Stella!

I love this Picture.

Jesus preparing this baby for it's journey on Earth.

Our little Stella will be here soon.

I will be so thankful and happy when she is in our arms.

Lindsey is looking pretty ready.

The Dr. has moved her due date up some.

She is going every 2 weeks now.

Read about it on her Blog.

I love my grand babies more than

I could have ever imagined I would!

They are so precious!

I want their lives to be so perfect.

It is sometimes overwhelming.

The responsibility to teach them to do what is right.

How Heavenly Father must feel when he looks down on his

children and feels the pain of their mistakes.

Abuse, or sadness in their lives.

I guess he sees more clearly the big picture.

That this life is but a grain of sand on the beach of eternity!

To see the purity and innocence of little babies

just makes you want to live more righteously.

To be with our families forever!

Trick or Treat

My grand kids and friend Mei Li have been practicing Trick or Treating.

They go out the garage door then ring the front door bell and yell

Trick or Treat!

There is only one problem with this fun.

They have pretty much cleaned me out of my Halloween Candy.

Adi said "Grandma, I need a bigger sack".

So I got her one. Adi, Tae and Jr. went home with quite a haul! Tae and her darling friend Mei Li. My Halloween Door Swag. and Taelynn. Top of Swag.

I have dropped some serious cash at this place!

When my children were teenagers,

I would send them to the car while I checked out! (so they wouldn't tell their dad how much the damages were)!

It is on 2576 E Charleston Blvd. Las Vegas, Nev.

Go there!

You will love it!

If you want new Christmas tree ornaments, Christmas tree, wreaths,

Christmas ribbon,

Any Holiday Decor. Swags, whatever they have it!

It is inspiring!

Let's Cruise!

I am really excited!

My Daughter Jennifer and her husband Jeremy are going to come on our Cruise with us.

It will be great to have them along.

They are so much fun.

Here we come SAPPHIRE PRINCESS!

3 MORE WEEKS!

Our port's include:

Puerto Vallarta

Mazatlan

Cabo San Lucas

It is a 7 night Cruise, so 3 of the 7 we are at Sea.(Spa Days)

Colorado Peaches

My Friend Dale-Rae got me some Peaches from Colorado.

They were Soooo Good!

Thank You Dale-Rae!

So I froze them. It worked out great!

Here is the procedure:

Put Peaches in Boiling Water about 2 minutes. Take Peaches out of boiling water and put them in ice water.

Then the skins just slide right off with a paper towel.

You have a beautiful bowl of peeled Peaches.

So I sliced them and doused them with some fresh lemon juice.

Froze them flat on a cookie sheet. That makes them freeze faster and thaw faster.

Then today I got a bag out and thawed it out on my counter.

We made Peach Cobbler.

A scoop of ice cream and THERE GOES THE DIET!

Blackened Talapia

I had invited 14 people to dinner,

then my husband wanted to go on a Bike Ride.

So we rode our bikes up Snow Canyon.

It was a beautiful day "COOL"

Almost chilly.

So I got home late and started dinner late.

My son Shaun came a little early so I put him to work.

He is a really good cook!

I was fixing Etouffee. A Cajun dish.

Shaun mixed up a Blackening Seasoning.

Cooked all the Blackened Shrimp and Talapia.

I made the Etouffee sauce. Rice.

Jentry made a spinach salad with caramelized walnuts,

feta cheese, fresh sliced pears, and a Raspberry Vinaigrette.

Grandma Nora made a Peach Cobbler. From my frozen peaches.

It was fun working together.

It turned out Yummy.

That's what is all about!

Family!

WEIRD FASHION!

What is with these??

I was doing some online shopping at Nordstrom's and ran onto these......

By the way they are "designer shorts" Alexander Wang $285.

Does anyone seriously think these are cute??????

Maybe I am older than I feel!

OH DEAR!
