friends and cupcakes

My dear, dear friend Joan came to town to visit her adorable daughter Whitney - YAY!

Do you recognize them? Yes, they've been on my blog before! I *LOVE* this dynamic duo!

While Whitney was working Joan and I drove to 4 different cupcake bakeries - yes we did!

 And that night we had a very FUN cupcake taste-off!

We had everything from Twinkie cupcakes to Bacon/Maple cupcakes!

And everything in between! Nutella cupcake anyone? That was my favorite by far!

I know - it's really a nasty job, but SOMEONE'S gotta taste all those cupcakes!

I love you Joan and Whitney! xoxoxoxo

and now some sweet fun

If you thought for one minute that after the cemetery service was over, 

and our goodbyes had been said, and my brother had driven back to southern Utah..... 

that Matthew and I drove right back home as well..... 

YOU WOULD BE WRONG! 

I mean come on - I'm staying with my cousin Shell! Let's get this party started!
