Happy Birthday Carter My Man!!

Dear Carter Thomas Carter Musgrave,

I'm so glad that you were born on Nov. 7, 1987.

I'm so glad that we became best friends and fell in "love" at the age of 13. :) (Boy oh boy our love has come a long way.)

I'm so glad that you were such a good boy in high school.

I'm so glad that you served a full time mission in Zimbabwe Africa. (Now that it's over at least.) I'm so glad that you wanted to get married.

I'm so glad that you are so goal oriented and are working so hard in school.

But most of all, I'm so glad that you are mine and that I get to party with you on your birthday. :)

Happy Birthday Babe! You are the best friend I could have ever asked for and I love you so much! MWA!!!

Happy Birthday Brother!!!

Me, Raysh, and Roo With His Paintball Cake

Dear Raysh,

I cannot believe that you are 14! Where the heck does the time go? I remember when you were born and you had a little old man face. You have always been the little cuddly brother that I love! You have grown up so much in the past couple of months but you will always be my sweet little brother! I love you and hope you had a great birthday!

Love, Jord :)

Happy Birthday Liese!

Dear Liese,

Thank you for always being such a sweet friend. I am so grateful you are apart of our family! You have become one of my best, closest friends! I hope you had a fabulous birthday! Thanks for letting us party with you!! Love you!

Love, Jord

Happy Birthday Conlee Taylor!!

Cakes, Cakes, and More Cakes

So I have been a slacker at blogging lately but Roo and I have not been slacking in the cake department! :) We have had lots of summer birthdays in the family which means lots of cakes!! :) It has been a blast!! We were in Mexico over my mom's birthday and so her cake is still going to be made (I know it's way late, but we have the idea and everything.....just need to get some time!) I feel bad that I didn't post shout outs on these guys birthdays, but just want you all to know how muh we love you and are so glad you were born!

July:

1st- Krew Daniel Karras (I didn't miss a post on his birthday though :) )

7th- Dan the Man Musgrave (Cart's Dad)

20th- My Dear old Dad

28th- My Mother Dear

August:

18th- Bridger Daniel Musgrave (Who has recently went away to college)

Happy Birthday all you guys!! We LOVE LOVE LOVE YOU!!! MWA!!

This was Danny's Ice Cream Cake! He loves Ice cream way more than cake!

We thought and thought what to make my dad and we decided on a work shirt! I think it turned out pretty cute! I think this would be super cute to add a tie to and take to a mission farewell or homecoming!

Bridger got a weight plate because just like his brother (Carter) he lives for the gym!

Krew Daniel Karras is 6 yrs Old!!

I can't believe it, but Krew is now 6 years old! Really, I can't believe it! He had an awesome birthday party the other night and the theme was Rock Band! Krishel is so cute and always goes above and beyond on her kids birthday parties! They had the TV outside set up for everyone to play rock band to, she had a full prepared meal of concert foods such as nachos, hamburger bites, corn on the cob, brownie bites, little smokies, and much more! It was a blast!

Here is a little spotlight on Krew Daniel Karras:

Favorite Color: Yellow
Favorite Song: Yellow Submarine (really, he knows every word)
Favorite Pass Time: Sitting in the Tree House at Grandma Chels With Carter and Bridger eating Root beer Float Popsicles. ( I wouldn't know if it is fun or not because Krew has recently posted a sign on the tree "No Girls Allowed!!") :)
Favorite Food: Fruits and Vegetables (Anytime we eat ice cream or candy Krew reminds us that we are going to get cavities and diseases if we eat junk food.) :)
What He Wants To Be When He Grows Up: Jack of All Trades (no lie, this is what he told his preschool class on his spotlight day)

Krew keeps us all on our toes with the adorable things that he comes up with! We always get a giggle out of his funny and genius comments!
We are so glad you were born Krew! Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday To Me!!!

Cart woke me up on my birthday to open my big silver birthday gift that had been sitting on my table for 3 weeks. Ha ha! To my surprise he had secretly ordered the exact Kitchen Aide I had been dreaming of for months! I found it refurbished on the Kitchen Aide website and it was a great deal for the nice stand mixer that it was! He had even ordered a few extras to add to the surprise! It was AWESOME!!! He's the best!

We had dinner with my family and we ate my favorite Shrimp Tacos from Bajios! Dee-lish!

Then we went to my parents house for cake and ice cream! My mom had made me the most beautiful birthday cake I had ever seen! And Banana cake, my favorite!! Next thing I know my darling sister in law comes in with the stinking cutest cake too! What? She had made me a darling birthday cake too!! It was my favorite colors and delicious as well! It had this delicious like raspberry cream filling that I have got to get the recipe for! Thanks Liese!

My sister Roo spent hours making me the most adorable hat for Mexico! I can't wait to where it as I bask in the sun and drink virgin banana coladas! I'm gnna be stylin!Liese never ceases to amaze me with her thoughtfulness as well, not only did she just whip up a layered birthday cake, but she made me cupcake stands that I'd been dreaming of since I saw them in a boutique a few months ago. Conlee and Raysh both had picked out adorable running outfits for me for the Ragnar, Chance gave me a well needed new stethoscope, my mom bought me my start to my dream business by getting me wedding cake pans, and my dad decided to fill my empty flower beds with bushes and flowers!

The night after my Ragnar run, Me'Chel, Danny, and Bridger took me to Dinner at the Union Grill. Me'Chel surprised me with a Magic Bullet. (If you don't know what this is, you should look into it! It's the bomb!!) A few days later my others sisters Katee and Krishel took me to lunch at Mimi's cafe in Layton. Katee made me the most adorable candle sticks and Krishel gave me a wallet that she picked perfectly to match my purse! Gall I have the most creative, thoughtful sisters ever!! All 5 of them know what's up!

I had such a nice birthday! Everyone made me feel so loved and appreciated! I can't wait to spoil you all on your birthdays cause you most definitely spoiled me on mine! Love You ALL!!!!

Happy Birthday Krishel!!

Today is my sister in law Krishels Birthday!

She is the best and deserves a good birthday!

Krishel is the best mom and loves her 3 little kiddos so much!
She is so craffty and creative and I want to be just like her!

I have always looked up to Krishel so much.

It's like I have two big sisters that I never had before and I love it!

Happy birthday Krishel!

We love you so much!!

Here is the cake I made her for her Birthday! :) Hope she likes it! :) It might be my best one yet and definately the funnest!

My mom taught me how to make all the flowers out of royal icing! :)

SURPRISE!!

Today I walk in the house from work and this is what I see...........

Carter is so awesome! This is my birthday gift!

My birthday isn't till the 16th but he wanted me to have a present to anticipate! Bring on the birthday countdown! He's the best!! I've never had a wrapped present this big!

Any guesses as to what it could be?

Happy Birthday Jess!!

Life is weird! The older I get, it seems the suckier friend I am! I hate it! But I feel like that's just how life is! Jesslynn has been one of my bestest friends since we were just in 1st grade. When our families first met they became good friends right away!

I didn't care for Jess much when we first met because the first time I had her over to play, we played "house" and she HAD to be the mom and I HAD to be the daughter! Hello, I am older, I should have gotten to be the mom! But nope! Not only did it bug me that she thought she got to boss me around, she also would literally slap me in the face when I was a bad daughter!

I have so many hilarious memories with Jess. We got to be so close that we couldn't even bare the thought of each other getting married. We wrote up a pack and signed it in blood saying that we would never love anyone as much as we loved each other, not even our own husbands. We could love them equal but not more. :) We would always say that we woulnd grow to be little old ladies together and when our husbands died we would live together and sit on our porch everyday sipping on lemonade and crack each other up all day.

Jess is like a ray of sunshine, she is always laughing and lighting up the room! I love her with all my heart! Jess and I always say you know you are good friends when you can go for weeks and weeks and not talk or see each other and then when you finally do you can pick right up where you left off and it feels like you talked yesterday! Happy birthday Jess!! Love you!

Jess's Birthday Cake

Kenya is 3!!

Kenya's 3rd Birthday was on the 9th.

Katee made her the cutest hot pink chee-leada uniform!

It was perfect cause this 3 year old is a hot pink LOVER!

Everyone dressed up in their chee-leada, football, and fan attire to attend.

Birthdays Birthdays All Around

We had a very wonderful day on Saturday.

We got te celebrate not 1, not 2, but 3 birthdays.

It was the twins 17th birthday,

and Me'Chel's 50th Birthday Party!

(Her B-day was on the 16th.)

It was so fun and I'm so grateful for

all 3 of these people in my life.

Chance: Chance is one of thoses easy going people that anyone can get along with. He has a tender heart and is a little hotty!! I am so glad he is my brother. Whoever gets him as a husband will get a keeper for sure!

Chandler AKA Roo: Roo has been my best friend since the day she was born! She has been with me through it all! She is always the one who know my feelings the best out of anyone. She can read me without me telling her anything. She will always be my best friend, and that brings me a lot of comfort.

Me'Chel: Any of you who know my mother in law know that she is the most kind hearted person you will ever meet in your entire life. And I'm not just saying that. She is a gem. She has become one of my very closest friends these past few years and I'm so blessed to have such a good mother in law.

Here are a few pictures of the Birthdays

The twins and I with their birthday cakes.

Hope you have a "Flippin" good Birthday Roo!
