FRIDAY AND SATURDAY OF THE B-DAY WEEK

Well on Firday I headed home for the BBQ my family was having for me on Sat, and I wanted to make this cake I had made like 4 years ago out of angel food twinkies but of course my luck they were out of them in every store I tried. So with Melinda's help we came up with our own. I used little Debbie's strawberry swiss cake rolls and strawberry pie filling. I cut them up and put some wrap in the bottom on a bowl and lined the sides then poured the mix in. I should have put some strawberries in the middle but didn't think about it till later. then I added another layer of rolls and some more gel and let it get cold, then flipped it over and ........ Here it is! I made some homemade whip cream and it was pretty good I thought.
We had a BBQ on sat after the parade, it was fun. My sister Stephanie and her husband and their kids came and brought me these balloons. It is not the best pic but the kids really wanted to be in one.
My Mom also made me a Turtle cake!! It is my favorite kind of cake and the only time I will eat chocolate cake. So we had to get a pic with that for my mom. I'm not to fond of this picture but my mom wanted one. She is the best mom and I wanted to thank for her all she does.

That's it for this years birthday. Next year I really am not having one unless someone wants to take me to Hawaii :)

JULY 24TH THE BIG 26!! HOW DEPRESSING.

Well for the birthday this year I didn't do to much. Clark party of one took on a whole new meaning. I took myself shopping and just hung out by myself. It was the first time I have actually went out of town and went shopping by myself. I figured I better get used to and needed to see what it was like. I hated it!! Then I came back to Cedar and hung out with Melinda and her family.
I got some pictures with the nieces before I left because I figured I wouldn't be taking any by myself later.

WED 7-23 B-DAY WITH FRIENDS!!

My friends Brea and Bree took me to taste of Hawaii for my B-day dinner. They gave me a picture frame with pictures of us in it and step up two, which could be one of my favorite movies.
They are awesome friends and even when I tried to pretend like i was not having a birthday they made me. I am lucky to have them.

Me and Brea Me and the other Bree
Leaving taste of Hawaii Bree wanted to get a picture and if you know me at all I don't really like pitures of myself and had already let them take way to many so when this one came I just decieded to roll with it and give them what they wanted. Hope you like it Bree :)

ENSIGN JULY 2008 -- HAD TO SHARE

I was reading in the July Ensign and I read this story by Deirdre M. Paulsen who's husband was serving as the mission president in the Brazil Curitiba Mission she told a story called "Faith in his step.... and a song in his heart,". It is about a guy from southern Brazil named Paulo Tvuarde, who was in her ward who walked to church almost every sunday for 14 years except when the mud was so thick that he couldn't make it. He left his house at 3:00 am to make it there because it took him 8 hours and he walks 25 miles!!!!! Deirdre asked the man who was telling her about Paulo "why would he do that?" the man replied "BECAUSE HE BELIEVES THAT THE CHURCH IS TRUE."

I loved this story and Paulo is such an example to me. I lived across the street from the church for 19 years and their were days when I thought that was to far!! I feel like I will be making a better effort to get to church on sundays and not take for grantite what I have.

I HOPE YOU LIKED THIS. I AM GOING TO TRY AND DO THIS ONCE A MONTH WHEN I GET MY ENSIGN. JUST SHARE SOMETHING I REALLY LIKED OUT OF IT:)

NO NEWS!!

Sorry I don't have any fun or exciting news and I have not had a camera for awhile because I let my brother take it to New York. O I guess I do have some news! so my brother and nephew went to New York to go to a couple yankees games and I decided to sit this one out since I have already been twice and I wanted to save my money and go to the new stadium next year and I was already taking my vacation for the trip to D.C. that I ended up not going on! so I totally could have went on this trip, but it was to late. So of course they get to go down by the field durring batting practice which you can't do unless you have tickets down there but some worker guy let them down and my nephew got Derek Jeter and Bobby Abreu's autographs!! needless to say I was upset when I heard that. But it was cool for them. Maybe next year.

MELINDA? SELINA??

DOES THIS RING A BELL:)

MEMORIES!!

SELINA???
