The Canyon County Fair













Kresimir and a friend.

Ella loved riding on the carousel until it started, then she freaked out! I couldn't help but laugh.









The local fire department sprayed water from their truck and the kids played in the water.

They loved looking at all the animals. We saw pigs, goats, sheep, cows and ducks.

Lilly Janes Cupcakes

Amber, Ella and I went to Lilly Janes, a store devoted to cupcakes to take part in frost your own cupcake night. We decided on frosting Vanilla, Chocolate and Red Velvet cupcakes.

I LOVE cake!!!





















Here are the two cupcakes that I frosted. Unfortunately the cupcake with the white frosting never made it home. It ended up falling to the ground and had a nice coat of gravel added to the decoration. I was so sad.















Ella picked out chocolate chips to put on her cupcake.




















Yum!!





















What a great way to spend my evening, with people I love and cake. It couldn't get much better than that.
