Been awhile!

I got to spend time with close friends on New Years and watch the fireworks from the street behind our house. Perfect view of the strip. It was nice :) then some old lady and her husband approached us. Let's just say he shouldn't have been driving and she shouldn't ever be a fashion consultant.

I had two days off that week and got to spend those days with my niece and nephew. Laurelyn was so quiet, which is strange for a child her age, but extremely intelligent. She also enjoyed grabbing sand at the park and watching the airplanes.. until she pointed up at the sky and got sand in her eyes. She wasnt quiet after that. Noah and I bonded during her nap time, and shot some zombies. Then we were off to get Alvin and the Chipmunks from McDonalds. Adventures. Yes.

When I got back to work it has been job site after job site. We restored some cabinets and banisters. Before and a lot of afters are included below. When we went back to one of our sweetest clients house yesterday I had to take a picture of our friends work. Unfortunately there are no befores, as we helped after the fact. There are bamboo floors, rainforest marble counters, bath, and shower, a gorgeous chandelier over the tub, and some pretty unique faucets. Thanks, now I have a complex about my faucets :)

It was my stepdaughter's and Goddaughter's birthday last week. I got to wrap more presents, and bake cupcakes! Yes, I enjoy being in the kitchen. I had to bake fifty cupcakes for my Goddaughter's birthday party and she wanted a certain kind so her cupcakes were not from scratch, however the frosting was. The cupcakes I made the day after was entirely from scratch, but I was a little disappointed. I plan on attempting it again, but tweaking it to my liking. I'm a picky sweet tooth. I bought a new frosting decorating kit so of course I had to play with it. Not the best, but also not bad for a first attempt. I also made delicious funnel cake. Man, I love my cookbook.

Once I find the perfect recipe I'll share it with you :)

After my baking frenzy James made lobster tail, shrimp, and scallops wrapped in bacon, had Juliet Moscato and watched Deathly Hallows part one while we ate. Best way to enjoy the evening of a day off.

I don't like how the blogger app doesn't allow me to insert photos where I want. Or how it won't let me reorder. Oh well.

Naked Betty White.
Also, I want a cane corso :)
And a pterosaur tattoo.
Here's what's been happening lately :)
