New Recipe's

I am on an adventure, What kind of adventure? A cooking adventure. For some reason I love cooking. Im am just going through a stage right now where I love to cook and bake. Not really sure why because I don't have that much time since I am going to school and working. But any way. I have been trying a bunch of new recipes lately and I love it. It is so much fun to try something for the first time and fall in love with it. Some things I have made lately would be: Vanilla French Toast, Homemade Mac and Cheese, Oreo chocolate chip cookies, Sweet Pulled Pork, Homemade orange chicken, and a few more. Well my most recent adventure was last night. I made Cake Pop's and Quesadillas. What is a Cake pop? Well you bake a cake and let it cool and than you crumble the cake up and mix it with frosting. And than you roll it into balls and stick some sticks in them. Let them freeze for an hour and than roll them in white chocolate or any kind of stuff that hardens. Freeze them alittle longer and BAM!!! Cake Pop's.
Freeze for an hour
And Done!! So yummy.
And for Dinner.
Some of the main ingredients.
I love cooking with Colors. So beautiful :)
If anyone has any good recipes they wanna give me to try I would love to try them. And If anyone wants any of my recipes I would love to give them to you. :)

Camping Trip to the Cinders


This weekend for Labor Day weekend we went up to the Cinders in Flaggstaff!! It was a rough start because everything that could go wrong in one day did.  Someof our friends couldn't go last minute and we got a late start, but once we got up there it was an amazing weekend.  We went up to the Cinders with the Ganems, Tanner and Parley Tryon. It was soo much fun. WE enjoyed putting up our tents and getting alittle dirty.  We went riding all day Saturday and played games all Sunday and rode again on Monday.  It was a blast, except for the 5 hour drive home.  It took so long because everyone and there mom was coming home from Flagg.  It was stop and go all the way home.  Here are some super fun pictures from this weekend. Can I convince you that you should go to the Cinders??
Our first Morning at the Cinders
Me and Noelle Morning time
Marv on his Sweet Quad and about to ride up Competition Hill,  Comp. Hill is the place where all the riders go to show off there quads.  It is a super steep hill, and alot of riders have to turn back cause they can' get enough speed or power to go up. Except Marv, he did an amazing job of ridding up and making it to the top. Andrew and Tanner also made it up the mountain too!!! They all are good riders and have awsome quads with lots of power and speed.

Don't we look so cool in our husbands helmets? :)
I just love my AMAZING Husband
What Dirty Men these are! This is what happens when you ride quads all day long. You get so super dirty.
Me and my wonderful Man, I think he was getting tired of photos this weekend, me and Noelle had our camera's out the entire weekend..

What a Super fun weekend. Totally enjoyable.can't wait till the next time we get to go back and ride our quad some more :)

End of the Summer Vacation was to my in-laws cabin in Pine, Arizona.  It was so nice to get away for a weekend and enjoy the nice weather up north.  It was a super fun vacation because we got to spend it with our 2 best friend couples. Noelle and Andrew Ganem, Riki and Clark Michel. It was a blasted weekend full of Epic Duels, Hiking, and Funness.
On the drive up to Pine.

Any Ideas??
We got to Go stay with Blake in California and we got to go to the San Diego Zoo and Sea World. It was soo much fun. We had a blast.  Especially since Blake and Marv together are freaking hilarious.  I laughed so hard this weekend. it was the best. :)
I love how close we get to be to some of the animals. This one is still sleeping.
We are by the Bear's. Marv's arm is coving it, but they sure are cool.
These boys are ANIMALS!!! got to love it tho :)
It's staring at us. Woohoo!!! The bears are seriously soo cool.
This bear was so funi, it was rocking its head back and forth the entire day. I think the bear was singing a toon all day and rocking out to it. LOL
Big Lazy Monkey!
We had a super fun time at the ZOO, and than we went to eat and Saw Harry Potter!!! Soo amazing. Love Harry Potter.

Next Day.....
Sea World Time!!!
Me and Marv on the Atlantis Ride. Talk about a fun wet Water Ride :)
Sooo. cool .
This was probably my favorite part of all day, I got to feed and touch the Dolphin. The Dolphin feels like rubber, they are so nice and way cute. Can I have one for a pet?
Marv got to fee the Dolphin too!!! I didn't get a very good picture of it tho. But he did get to touch it. 
And this concludes our San Diego Vacation. We had to go back home and to work and school :(  Reality is a bummer sometimes.
