Five days, 4 nights, and 9 words...

Since the wedding pictures are taking to long for me to get I will just go out of order and start with Spring break instead! Me, Jennilyn, and Brande all planned a trip to bear lake for the break...this is how it was suppose to go...Me and Jennilyn would drive up Tuesday then Brande would come up Wednesday and we would all just have a grand ol time then on Friday my family and my other friend Mueller would come up and Saturday Brande and Jennilyn would leave in the morning to get home for work and I would stay with my family and Mueller!....well lets just say plans changed...I'll break the week down for you. (Jennilyn is weird and wanted to take a picture with the umbrella...and did so everyday so each pic of her marks a new day.)

Day ONE (Tuesday)This is the exact spot me and Jennilyn spent over 48 hours through out the week...I'm not embarrassed to say that because believe me it was worth it haha So the first day we basically just chilled and watched movies!Night ONE(Tuesday=normal)
Day TWO (Wednesday)Brande arrived around 5 in the P.M. this is vital information for later...When she got there we decided to try out a new desert called cake pops! They were really fun to make but took a long time but they turned out so cute! (I added more pics at the bottom of this post to show more of the process) Then we decided to make some pizzas for dinner..which I also thought was fun. After all of that cooking for five hours we decided to watch a movie around 11. After that movie got over at 1 in the A.M we decided to watch another one. It was spring break and so we could go to bed late and wake up late...like as in 2 or 3 P.M :) ok so sometime throughout the second movie around 3 Brande went to bed...this was normal and she was just tired cause it was late..so then around 4 me and Jennilyn go to bed! (I have to be specific with the times because what happens next will shock you...it did us!)These are the cake pops that turned out cute! they were mostly balls and cupcakes! cause we couldn't think of any other way to shape them!We watch Disterbia and this is how me and Jennilyn spent most of the time...under our blankets! bad idea to watch a scary movie alone at a cabin!Night TWO (Wednesday=not so normal)
Day THREE (Thursday)Ok so after me and Jennilyn go to bed at 4 we see that Brande is already asleep so we just slip into bed trying to be quiet...Then we wake up the next morning which is Thursday to an event that i will never forget!!! I woke up and walked over to the window to see if it was snowing yet and when I did I saw that Brande's car was MIA..so i quickly wake Jennilyn up and tell her that Brande is missing! Jennilyn, in her discombobulated state, stumbles to the window and says oh she must have gone to the store...um NO!! Turns out Brande just peaced it in the middle of the night...yes that is right she split while we were sleeping! So me and Jennilyn hurry down stairs to try to figure the situation out and discover Brande had packed up all her stuff + some of our stuff and went home! and she left us a little note with 9 words that said "Meg and Jen, Not having a good time. bye..." This girl is psycho! This had never happened to us before and we didn't even know what to do...it ruined our whole Thursday! well almost...we bounced back pretty quick but we were both pretty ornery for a while! and She was there less then 24 hours and she was Jennilyn's ride home!!! so thank goodness Jennilyn's parent's rock and drove 2 hours up and 2 hours back to pick her up! (oh and everyone always asks if there was a fight or argument leading up to Brande's disappearance and the answer is NO! no fight, no disagreement, no argument..nothing! we just made all that stuff watched movies then went to bed..) To try to make our selves not ornery we did our toes...and notice that neither of us could even get ready this day because we were so mad! we both looked like crap and felt like crap!! But the good news is after we snapped out of what had just happened to us we learned the Hannah Montana Ho Down!
Then at around 10 in the P.M me and Jennilyn hear a thud on our front door window...it scares the crap out of us cause we didn't know if it was somebody knocking or throwing something because it was really loud..so we freak out and i call my mom..Jodie in the calmest voice says "well go see what it was" so Jennilyn goes and looks out the window and then gets a sad face and says "Oh...its a birdie" This cute little guy had flown into our window! He was clearly injured and so we tried to help him! We checked on him throughout the night. we checked on him around 5 a.m before we went to bed and he was still there, not moving...then the next day..BAM he was gone. just like that! we don't know what happened to him...I just hope a larger animal didn't get poor birdie! RIP birdie!Night THREE & FOUR (Thursday & Friday=back to normal)
Day FOUR & FIVE (Friday & Saturday) Jennilyn forgot her photo shoot today...actually we don't have any pictures for these two days!
My family and Mueller came up Friday night and Jennilyn's parents came a picked her up! When my parents got there they took me and Mueller out to dinner which was much needed considering i hadn't left the house for four days ha so then we woke up Saturday and went snow mobiling which was way fun! My little brother and his friends went sledding and me and mueller would go pick them up at the bottom of the hill on the snow mobiles and take them to the top..it was actually a mountain not a hill! all in all it was a very fun and chill spring break! minus one minor incident!
Here is a simplified version of how to make the cake pops..they are too complicated to say all the steps...
First bake a cake and crumble it into a bowl. Then add the frostingMix the cake and frosting together. Then skip a few steps and mold it into the shape you want..skip a few more steps then dip them into chocolate :) i told you it was simplified!Final product! a cake pop! this was formed into a cupcake!These are the ugly ones that we tried to experiment on and they clearly went wrong!

Cutest Kids on The Block

I got to spend three days with the two cutest kids on the block! My niece and my nephew! I love Q and Macie Jane so much! Q and Ali flew in a few days before Jesse and Marissa's wedding and I loved being able to play with them! The first day Q was here we took a trip out to grandma and grandpa Jensen's house. Macie Jane and Q loved playing together and were a little mischievous...
And Apparently Grandma and Grandpa's house wore them out!

The next day we got to go to the FUNNEST place on earth....Chuck E. Cheese of course! I know what you're thinking...Ghetto. well it was! but it was so worth it! We had so much fun. and I dominated the arcades! Ali, Brooklyn, and I even won deal or no deal three times! Grandma and Grandpa Haws also came to party with Chuck E. and bought Q and Macie Jane a balloon that said "I partied with Chuck E." I could not stop laughing when I saw the balloons! so funny! but they loved them more then they loved half the games!


Worlds WORST drivers haha

me and Q dominated Whack a Mole!

some random kid got in the picture with me and Q...

Macie Loved playing with the basketball! It was bigger then her!

Quinn's little Booty! I miss it already! haha he had a sumo diaper on! and even though he woke up at the butt crack of dawn who wouldn't love waking up to that cute little face every morning? I LOVED it!

And I will write about the whole entire wedding later but here is a little sneak preview!

Orders Up!

Ok so as of lately i have had no life so all i do is sew, cook, and craft. I love trying out new things and i am always looking for reasons to make stuff. well I found the cutest desert thing and i have been wanting to make it for something or someone and I finally did!! I made them for my old roommates! they are all gimps at the moment so i made them a little get well soon treat...i tell you i am desperate to make this stuff so i find any reason to haha but Karl tore her ACL, Mikell got shoulder surgery, caitlin tore her ACL, and it was Tonya's senior year and last game Saturday! so I made them all a fast food desert! It was a lot of food but it was so so fun to make! i recruited one of my best friends Kayla to help me (thanks Kay Kay) So we had to make cup cakes, brownies, and sugar cookies for this dealio. then we assembled them all together! after we assembled them i put them in a tray that you get at any fast food stand and then made personalized tissue paper to put in the bottom. I made the hamburgers out of cupcakes, brownies, and frosting, and the fries are made out of sugar cookies. I also put some red frosting, like ketchup, in little cups to dip your fries in! it was so fun to make and so easy! and i hope they all get better soon so i can watch some good basketball next season :)

The big mess :)

The Freshly cooked food! This is an example of one..its for Caitlin and I don't
know if you can read it but it says "get better buddy" and
"get well soon Caitlin" they all said something different cause
they were individualized hahaThe final project! this one was Karls!and yes I dropped a whole pan of cup cakes..i forgot about this cause it happens all the time I'm just use to it...a little embarrassing.

A Two in One

I am very good at looking at other peoples blogs but I struggle with updating mine so you are going to get two for one! This is a fast recap of what i have been up to the last two weeks...well more like the last two weekENDS because during the week my life is very very boring and its all about school. So two weekends ago, like February 20, I caught up with old friends both Friday and Saturday night. Friday night we had a girls night out because one of my best friends from high school, also one of the superheros, Melgatu, got engaged! Melissa and Taylor have been dating basically since i have known them haha and they are a cute cute couple and i can't wait for them to be married, better yet i can't wait for the bachelorette party cause Kayla aka skaggle turbo will be krumping all night! anyways so friday night Me (megawoman), Bekah (Flying Hawaiian), Melissa (Melgatu), and Kayla (skaggle turbo) all went to dinner so we could catch up and celebrate the engagement! it was so much fun to reunite! i love them! and we are always laughing when we are together! After dinner we ended up going to Sally's house and it was alot of fun. besides the fact me and kayla called it an early night and went home early just like the good old high school days!
Moving onto saturday I went and got sushi with Jessica and Jackie Tippets, Angie, and Ryan! it was alot of fun and just might have to be a weekly tradition haha
Then the next week February 26 i unfortunately did not document either of the nights but they were both still alot of fun. Friday after i got done with school me and my mom headed up to Bearlake to meet up with my dad and uncle Jerry at the cabin. We moved everything in and got it ready for us to play!! it was so funny to see my dad and uncle because they were like little boys on Christmas morning and they were in heaven up there. i have a feeling we'll be spending alot of time up there this summer and i can not wait! we came home Saturday around six and i headed straight to my friend Jenilyn's. actually i went to her sisters but the night was quite an experience. first i had no idea where i was going and all the direction i got was to get off an exit go right and you'll find it...NO! I had no idea where i was so i had to wait for Jenilyn at a little gas station and the people probably thought i was a creep cause i sat in their parking lot for 15 minutes! but then she finally made it and we went to Annie's house and had a very good dinner! then we went to the rodeo! i LOVED it. The mutton bustin was my favorite part of course. and they had "large farm animals" aka bull riding and those cowboys are crazy! after the rodeo we went back to Annie's house and made some cute cute cupcakes! We decorated them as sunflowers and put little M&M lady bugs on them! i wish i had a picture but i don't! I have had alot of fun over the past two weekends and i hope this weekend will be just as fun but i promise i will update sooner so you don't have to read a whole book basically! sorry! and congrats if you have made it this far!
