I just can't let one more day pass me by without blogging about this past Saturday!
Besides being the missionary's birthday-
I was asked to make some mini cupcakes for a dinner held for the Stake Relief Society, just before the General Women's Conference broadcast. I was really glad to have a reason to make cupcakes even if the birthday boy was not going to get one.
The didn't ask for any particular flavor...
so I went all fall crazy & came up with these cuties!!
They are pumpkin cupcakes with cinnamon cream cheese frosting & YUm they were so good. I had never made them before- it was just an idea in my head- so I tested them out on the blogger moms during our creative Thursday. The blogger moms are great taste testers.
I had procrastinated buying the ingredients until Saturday morning- I had nothing else to do- then had to go to THREE STORES to find canned pumpkin. I was sweatin' it, I tell ya!
But it was worth it since I found this little cutie at the last store's bakery.
BYU won their game- we won't talk about last week's game- that was Bogus.
NoW i have a bunch of BYU cupcake ideas floating around in my head.
Later it was time to go to the dinner/broadcast & realized I didn't have anyone to go with... I knew I would know people there... but I started to feel like a seventh grader without a locker partner... I got up my courage- what a wuss- and went anyway. It was a great conference & yes I found friends- feewwww.
The best part of the day happened seconds after I got home!
I walked in the door & the phone rang-
It was trent
he told me to come outside-
He & Brett had just driven up. They had gone to a pond a few miles from our house & HOORAY- LOOk At that FAce. Ya- HE was walking on air--- but refusing to touch it.
After a day of working in the yard, Brett was such a good sport & took Trent fishing. they have been a couple of times this summer with no luck. Trent had been bugging him to go- that kid has amazing nagging skills- so they headed off & happy day- finally caught one!

During church on Sunday, Trent knew jack was coming so he had his eyes pealed on the chapel doors, jack was running late & trent had the camera in his hands to show jack as soon as he got there. It was so cute. Jack was thrilled for him.
so it was a busy day & hopefully a good one for the missionary
