Photo of the day 10/365

Wow, we have reached double digits in the photo of the day! I will let my wife explain todays photo. It is a photo of a wedding cake she made and we delivered to the wedding late this afternoon. She is amazing and very talented! 
Kinda crazy, I'm here blogging on the blog that was basically just mine till 10 days ago when Chase hijacked it. I'm still in the process of learning to decorate wedding cakes, and I get pretty frustrated sometimes. Today was no exception. I have been sick this week, so doing this cake was a struggle. I got it all baked on Tuesday, put it in the freezer till Friday, and finally got to work yesterday morning. Yesterday I got it all stacked, thawed, and frosted. Mom helped me with the fondant (mostly because I wasn't feeling fantastic), and we left it to sit till today. This morning I got the bottom two layers stacked together, and the top on the pillars. I've never done a border before, so I practiced a lot on a plate. I finally sat down at the cake and got the border on, walked away for a few hours. Came back upstairs 2 hours before we had to leave to make the delivery, and my borders were melting. YIKES, I had a little freak out. Mom helped me scrape off the border and we changed the type of frosting I was using. I was able to re-pipe the border, and calm down. We got the cake delivered on time, and the above picture is the end result. The bride and all her brides maids loved the cake.

For my music class that I'm currently enrolled in, I have to attend 5 different concerts. We have now attended Ryan Shupe and the Rubber Band, and the Utah Symphony at Taylorsville Dayzz. Last night we were able to attend the Jon Schmidt concert at the Sandy Ampatheater, it was a great show. Sorry I'm a day late on posting, we were pretty tired when we got home last night.

Seems there has been a theme this last week huh? Our dog Gus makes yet another appearance. We were out back throwing the frisbee around and I was able to catch this shot. He is just too much fun to photograph. Hopefully this weekend we can get around town and get some different shots. Enjoy!

Two posts in one day. Well don't tell anyone, but I forgot to take a pic yesterday. So you get two today. My wife took one of them and here is the one I did for day 7. This is Camden, our cute little niece. We were watching her tonight, and she likes playing with our dog. Our dog likes to give kisses, so watch out if you are ever over here. Well He managed to sneak in a couple of kisses on Camden, but I think she liked it a little too much.

This picture comes to you from my wife Kim. Some days I am just so tired after work! And today was one of those days. As I was asleep she managed to take a picture of me without waking me. I think the funny thing she really was trying to capture was our dog Gus, poking his head out at her.

Every year, the neighbors near my parents throw a bbq on the 5th of July. Since the 5th was a Sunday, They held it today. We went and had some delicious burgers and plenty of sweets. The photo of the day is my father. Caught this pic as we were sitting there chatting. The neighbors usually purchase a bunch of illegal fireworks and have a show of their own, but Kim and I were tired so we didn't stay for that part.

A man's best friend!

Is it any wonder why a dog is a man's best friend. Our dog is a very good dog. Very loyal, very cuddly, and very kind. He is also very smart, and can run very fast. Whenever we take him to the dog park and he feels like it, he can actually out run most any dog there, including all the big dogs. He only weighs around 14 pounds! He actually turns two in a few weeks. But this is him resting on my leg on our way to the family sunday dinner at my parents.

The 4th of July my family took our boat out to Yuba Lake. As I was working on learning to drive the boat, we decided to stop in the middle of the lake for a swim. This is my brother Connor doing a back flip off the boat. The water was a bit cold to the touch but actually felt nice once you got in. Its always fun to get out to the lake for a boating trip. We will be going up to a lake by Park City soon for a few days, and then in August we are going to be taking a week vacation up to Bear Lake! Pictures to come for those days too!

Ever since my wife was a little girl, her family would go to the Riverton Parade every year on the the 3rd of July. It has now become an excuse to get the whole family together and enjoy everyones company. We get together and watch the parade and also enjoy a BBQ . This picture comes to you from the parade today. In it you can see my little niece Teagan next to her brother in red, and her cousin Marissa to her left. They are putting their hands out to get a high five from the cool police driving by on their motorcycles.

I thought I would spice this blog up a bit. And since I am here not really contributing to our family blog, I thought in some way I could help. Well I am here to announce the photo of the day journal. I will have a photo of the day from here on out, showcasing our lives through a photo everyday! The Photo will be of an event from that day. So here it is, number one photo of today and of the series. Gus had to see the eye doctor today and this is the prescription glasses that were given to him.
