Cowgirl Cake, Baseball Baby Shower & A Marathon

I have been a busy little bee this week.

Friday night I had a little moment.  I started to think I was doing to much.

Everything that could have happened in this week DID!  The hubs working late, the cake/cupcake orders coming in, working my regular schedule which was busier than normal, kids with school, preschool cancelled, Visiting Teaching (last week of the month and I'm "that" person), carb loading lunch with the team, oh yeah, and did I mention the ST. GEORGE MARATHON on Saturday?

Slightly overwhelming week, but oh so worth every minute!

Every task was accomplished and for the most part, right on time!

I got the order for a pink and white cowgirl boot cake.  In my mind I knew what I wanted to do.  I am in love with how it turned!  The birthday girl requested white cake with buttercream frosting. Yu hum!


Baseball Baby Shower for Baby Liam!  Red Velvet cake with buttercream...Delish!
The cake is my fav!


Leann, Shay, Me and Shaunna

Waiting for the patty wagon to take us to the start line.   Yep, perks of being cops wives.  We didn't have to wait for the buses to shuttle us.


Crossing the finish line.  One of the most amazing experiences ever.
You can't see it, but I had used my Cricut and vinyl to put this saying on the back of my shirt...

26.2
Because I Can

Being my 2nd time running a full marathon, I knew I could do it.  We (Shay and I) had probably 50-60 runners comment and tell us they LOVED our shirts!  Yeah, we're cool like that!


Me and Shay at the finish.  I am so lucky for great running friends.  She is what keeps me going and keeps me sane.  When I want to quit, she reminds me I can finish.  Running takes a physical toll, but a mental one as well.  I am lucky to have Shay to pull me along.

STG 26.2

Ok, TIME OUT from all of the cute Halloween posts for a huge and most well deserved shout out to Julie for just running, TODAY, the St. George Marathon! Seriously! Not only does our favorite gal make such cute things and is so very crafty, she is well......freaking amazing because she runs and just completed a MARATHON. Do you really know how far that is? 26.2 miles. Wow, I am simply impressed. I am just great with being in the cheering section at the finish line. She will kill me for putting this on here, but I think you deserve to see how amazing she truly is.

Julie and her cute family. If you look close, she made her little boy's shirt. In the middle of all this, she still crafts! It says, : "my mom runs like a MOTHER!"





CONGRATS JULIE, such an amazing accomplishment!
