Happy Birthday to Aust!

Who is the worst blogger of them all?? ME! haha.

Sorry. I feel so bad... I've only been blogging like 1 1/2 times a month. haha. I am going to try to be better... but these next few days I have nothing going on but school... so I'll be catching you up on what's been going on! :)

Life is GREAT!! And we had such a good holiday season!! :)

December 11th was Austin's birthday.

We wanted Sheena to be able to come to the party, so we had a fun party on Friday, December 9th and we went bowling....

And to Buffalo Wild Wings! :) And while we were there I got Austin's stocking stuffers (aka... BWW sauces! :D)

He was SPOILED!!

Thanks to everyone who made his birthday great! :)

His parents got him a NFR belt buckle.

Alex got him this funny card!! haha. It sings Happy Birthday all cool, and the guitar shakes haha.

Tyler and Sheena got him a shirt.

His Parents also got him a hat.

And his favorite Beef Jerky!

Then my mom and Rusten got him a Famous Dave's gift card.

We are excited to use that puppy!! :)

Right side: Me, my mom, Alex, and Blake.)

Saturday I took a trip to my mom's to suprise Austin by making him a JOHN DEERE CAKE!! Since John Deere is his favorite! :)

It was milk chocolate cake and I cut it into a tractor shape :)

And we used mint flavored icing! :) YUM!

Almost done......

And WAHLA!!! :D

As I was leaving, my step-brother's friend came in and was like, "Man it's like a chevy dealership out there." hahaha. There were like 7 chevys in the driveway. haha. And Justin, Jaden, Doug, and My truck were all white, so they all kinda looked alike!! lol. It was pretty funny :)

And I left the cake at my mom's so Aust would be very suprised! :)

Sunday (his birthday) I let him open his presents when he woke up! :)

A drill and drill end things. hahah. :) He loves it... and I might be using it to make my entry way table! :D haha. That is a summer project I have planned to make after this semester is over! :)

After Church, both our families came over and we had cake and ice cream!!

HE LOVED the cake!

(Austin drizzled caramel all over his cake and ice cream! :) Blue Bunny, Homeade Vanilla!! :D)

(Elmer, Kathryn, Merlene, and Kirk)

(Austin, Me, My mom, and Hannah.)

(And Rusten was playing the Xbox the whole time! hahaha)

I'm glad he had a great birthday and I can't believe he's 22!!! :D haha.

Have a great day, and hopefully you hear from me tomorrow! :)

*Aubree*

P.S. Cake always turns into cake fights for Austin and I... I threw powdered sugar on Austin a few days later, and he took the left over cake and shoved it in my face and gave me a mustache! hahaha. But I didn't get any pictures.. dang it! haha.

We'll see what's in store with the next birthday cake :) hahaha.

Novembre!! hahha. :)

Well November is almost over and this is my only post so far!! AHH!! haha. Well I didn't take pictures of everything I did... DANG IT! But I took pictures of a few things I did! :)

Kathryn, my MIL (mother-in-law), had a birthday! :D So we had lots of cake to celebrate! :) To read about her birthday go here!

This is the cake I made for her birthday!

It was a strawberry cake and it was DELISH!! :D

There was a little bit left over, so I brought it home to my fridge.

Well a few days after, Aust and I had a cake fight with this lovely cake!

We shoved each others faces in the cake and it was SO FUN!!

Austin's friend was over and took videos, but I don't have them... DANG IT! They are really funny!

But it's like the cake fight we never had at our reception since I was sick at my reception! hahaha. So This made up for that, even though only 1 person was there to witness it! haha. OH MAN!! Good times! :D

Then also in November, Austin and I took a road trip to Kilgore to check out their farm! haha.

Well it started snowing once we got there and by the time we were on our way home, it looked like a blizzard! ha.

It was fun seeing the pretty rivers, the long roads, the middle of nowhere (I'm serious folks! If you think Terreton is the middle of nowhere, go to Kilgore! You'll have a whole new perspective on the middle of nowhere! hahaha.), random road signs, funny looking animals that blend in with the snow, cows, houses in the middle of nowhere, hunters on the one way bridge, etc! :D Here are pictures for you to enjoy!

(we thought this bridge was gonna break if we drove across it! haha)

So when we were on our way home... this is what we drove up to!

A guy lost control on the ice and slid and rolled his truck! But he was totally fine which was good!! But Aust and I stopped and said a little prayer so we would drive safe after that! haha.

Another November experience.. haha. We went to Sandpiper, which is weird because the last time I went there was with the Egbert's too, and it was in November! haha. :)

Well it was SUPER yummy and Aust got a Prime Rib and it was massive! Check it out:

That is his finger!! It was as tall as his finger!!

Then Sheena's best friend, and our good family friend Chelsi got married! :D

Tuesday the 8th, she went through the temple, so Sheen and I went!

Then November 11th (11/11/11) She got married and she looked GORGEOUS! :) I didn't havee my camera, so I didn't get a picture of Chelsi or Aust and I, but my sister did have her camera, so this is a picture of us after Chelsi got married! :D

Well Aust and I were on our way to her reception and we passed this!

I am SO doing this when Andy comes home!! haha. :D

It was in front of the people's house, and they were inside and there was a huge window in the front of their house, so they could totally see us, and they were probably like, Uhh.. what are those people doing in our driveway? hahaha!

I don't know if you've been to the playmill... but if you have, you know what Hiedi's Fudge is... Well at Chelsi's reception, there was Hiedi's Fudge!! IT was SO SO SO good! :D

The other day I had cupcakes, and I didn't know what to do with them, so I made CUPCAKE SHAKES!!! They were yummy! I will be making those more often! :D

Also, We went on a triple date and ate at Texas Roadhouse, then looked at CD World where I got a Shanendoah CD!! OH YA!! They are a really old band, but they are great! And my parents loved them! Their song was one of them! :) Well my mom's song that my dad dedicated to her! ahhaha. :) Our family loves that band! :D Then we went to the movie Jack and Jill.. hahah. IT was like a Napolean Dynamite... it made no sense and had no reason! hahaha. Now Aust and I always quote from it... "I'm Keeding!!" hahha.

Another thing I did this month was make a fall centerpiece thing!! :D

Then remember the picture of the Merry Chirstmas Elder that was in my last post because we were sending his them for Christmas?? Well we took one of Beezly! haha.

Also, November 17th was the midnight premeir of BREAKING DAWN PART 1!! :D Austin and I went to it and we got great seats and we only got there like 10 minutes beofre it started!! OH YA!! haha. :D Now next November needs to come so we can go to the 2nd part of Breaking Dawn :) haha. And while we were watching it, there were SO many previews that looked SO good that I Want to see the movies now! haha. :)

Then Aust and I got Jamba Juices before it! :) I got Apple Cinnamon Cheer! OH MY GOODNESS!! IT tasted exactly like the smell of Apple Cinnamon Cheer. haha. And it also kinda tasted like an Apple Pie!! IT. WAS. DELICIOUS!! Go get it if you haven't already!! :D

Last item of Business.... I got all my display on my red wall in my dining room DONE!! :D haha. YAY!! :D

What do you think??

Well I am so excited for Thanksgiving!

My family from Utah is coming up, and today we're having a pie making party!! OH YA!! haha.

I am so thankful for my family!

I am thankful for my hubby!

I am SO thankful for the break from school!! Only 2 1/2 weeks of school days left this semester!! WOOHOO!!!
