Cake Decorating Class

2010-08-29T16:21:00.000-07:00

A few weeks ago I finished a cake decorating class at UVU. I stumbled upon the class while looking for sewing classes and thought it might be fun too. I talked my sil Summer and my friend Nancy into taking the class with me (It didn't take much talking into). These were my two final cakes. Yes, one is of my dog... I couldn't help it.

I was so happy with how the "Sophie" cake turned out. I loved having it in my fridge for a few days, every time I opened it it made me laugh a little.

The second cake also turned out looking pretty good. I have always liked the way these lace cakes look, so I thought I would give it a shot.

Great New Blog

2010-08-08T20:22:00.000-07:00

One of my good friends and her sister started this cooking blog. The blog is Amazing and she is a fantastic chef, you have to check out these recipes!

Happy Anniversary

2010-07-28T08:10:00.000-07:00

Happy 3rd Anniversary to us!! Three years ago today I married my best friend who happens to be one of the funniest people on the planet. I love you Ell Todd!

Park City/Midway

2010-05-16T10:09:00.001-07:00

My sweet husband had the idea to spend a few days in Park City/Midway for my Birthday (in Feb). So we booked our timeshare in Midway and drove up. We drove straight up to the outlet mall where Elliot's sister Esther and husband Brian met us. After some shopping Elliot's other sister Summer and husband Steve meet us for dinner.
The next day we slept in went shopping and then we went to "Our" restaurant is in Park City, The River Horse Cafe. If you havn't been there you should go, it is amazing!
The night we got engaged we sat at this same table.

My favorite meal there, I salivate just thinking about it!

Elliot's Surf and Turf

The timeshare was right next to the Zermat where they have ice sculptures. They were pretty cool.

It was such a fun relaxing trip full of shopping, eating, and relaxing at the hot tub.

Valentines... Better late than never

2010-04-25T13:18:00.000-07:00

We decided a few years ago that going out for a Valentines dinner date was Crazy, because Everyone is out for there romantic dinner also. So making something at home is perfect, but of course you have to spice it up a bit. So this year we did a fondue night with alcohol free wines. We had Elliot's siblings over and it was a blast.

I pulled out every last red item I had in the house and put it up.

The wines and champagne. I saw these featured on the food network one night.

Cheese, Yes please

Meats

Chocolate, could anything be better... I think not!

I put three phrases under everyone's plates that during the course of the dinner we had to say. We got some good laughs out of the game.

The Utah Bagley's

Pretend I am still cool!

2010-03-18T19:34:00.000-07:00

I have a totally adorable friend who I never would have guessed couponed, but she does and she showed me all the great deals she was getting a few months ago. So i decided I would give it a try just for fun. I have gotten some killer deals and many free things. Here is some stuff I bought, it should have been around $128 but I got it for $32! It's a bit embarrassing , but I am such a deal junkie that its worth it.

So if you ever at one point thought I was cool, I hope that hasn't changed! :)

Merry Christmas

2010-01-24T18:30:00.000-08:00

I know I am SO behind on the Holidays...but better late than never!
This Christmas we headed out to Wichita, at first. After a few fun filled days there we made the drive down to Oklahoma City to go to my brother house.

Once we got to OK there was a freak snow storm!

This next paragraph is hijacked from my sisters blog, Thanks Heather!

"We have decided that the Glade's have magical powers! Christmas of 2007 it snowed 11 inches the day we all arrived in Wichita. On Christmas Eve day this year, Oklahoma City had 14 in of snow, which is the most snowfall in one day in recorded history! AND it was the first White Christmas since 1844. The city was so unprepared for the storm pretty much everything was shut down for DAYS! I cannot think of a nicer group to be stuck with!"
Here is Rob and Mels pretty new house all covered in snow.

The Cute little ones

Charlie got the funniest toy I have ever seen, it was a dinosaur robot.Let me paint a picture: It rored its head, walked, made funny sounds and could open his mouth and pick things up. After it picks something up it would clamp down on it would swing its head back and forth making a roaring sound.

So Abby got a Barbie with a Barbie car for Christmas. At some point in the day Spike(the dinosaur) walked over to the barbie car, picked barbie up by her head pulled her out of the car and roared while swinging her body around. Abby came running across the room when she saw this all go down with the saddest face, while Charlie was laughing and LOVING it! The whole thing makes me laugh so hard still when I think about it!

Of course All the Glade stockings.

Thanksgiving

2010-01-24T17:12:00.000-08:00

Thanksgiving was a fun event... of course! There was Good food, Good entertainment and Good company!

To be honest I don't remember much about the day b/c I was trying to crochet a headband. I litterally spent ALL day crocheting! Note I said trying to crochet, My s.i.l Heather tought us that morning... Crocheting is not my strong point.

That Sunday little baby Calli was blessed. She sure is a cutie, we will really miss seeing her and J.J.(and of course Cindy and John!) when they move.

Christmas, here we come.

2009-12-23T11:08:00.001-08:00

Caravanning to Oklahoma to start the Christmas fastivities! 11 people and 1 dog. Merry Christmas!

Faux Treat!

2009-12-06T17:38:00.000-08:00

I am typically not a yogurt person, but I really like these Whips. They just came out with the vanilla flavor and it is SO good. I eat it as a treat, even though I am a chocolate girl, seriously they are so good! I am eating one right now for dessert, I can't get enough.

On a side note: As some of you know I hate the cold and the snow, but Sophie on the other hand LOVES the snow. Today we had our first snow storm of the season and Sophie ran about 100 circle 8's in the snow... So funny. Here is the picture of the 8 she left behind in the snow.

Recipes Please!

2009-12-03T04:08:00.000-08:00

After a long night of no sleep I decided to update my recipe book. I have some recipes that I love, but i love to try new recipes. So if anyone has any good ones I would love to try them. My email is Littlektb@gmail.com

Its kind of a Thanksgiving Miracle!?!?

2009-11-25T12:43:00.000-08:00

I came home from work this afternoon to start cooking for tomorrow and this is what I found. This is not very conducive for productive cooking!! Our fridge broke a while ago, so we have been using the spare one in the basement (VERY annoying). I am so happy to have a fridge in the kitchen again. Although I will be happier when its not in the middle of the kitchen!! Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!

Can you tell I am procrastinating?
Also I am so excited, my next post will be about my ottoman I made and the re-done sewing bench! I think I will be done tonight... hopefully

Refinishing project

2009-11-10T19:51:00.000-08:00

I just finished painting this cute little table a few days ago. It used to be black, didn't really match my house, but now I love it! The next project I am attempting is to upholster an ottoman, after that I am refinishing my grandmothers sewing bench.

Before... don't mind the dust.

U2

2009-11-01T18:17:00.000-08:00

My Dad is in radio so I grew up going to concerts, I have been to more concerts than I can count. My very first memory of concert going was when I was tiny and it was the Steve Miller Band, I can't remember much but I remember my sister Heather getting her shirt signed by them. When I was 11(ish) my sisters and I meet Sarah McLaughlin, I Loved her (and still do). I tried to find the picture, but I think its buried at my parents house somewhere. When i was 16(ish) my friend Sarah and I meet 98 degrees, at the time I thought it was the coolest thing ever! There are many many more memories like that. A big thanks to my Dad for having (what I thought was) a cool job. He spent so many hours at rock,pop,classic rock and country concert with all his kids and all our friends!

When I was growing up we always had the best seat, or we were on or behind stage. So now I don't like going to concerts because I have to buy tickets, they usually aren't good seats and I never get to meet the artist. I know it sounds silly, but I was SO spoiled when it came to going to concerts.

For the last few years I have been telling Elliot that I have no desire to go to another concert (unless we are at my parents going with my Dad) except for U2 or Coldplay. U2, Coldplay and Sarah McLaughlin are my 3 all time favorites, but U2 wins by far. I have been wanting to go to U2 for Years, but there are two problems, I live in Utah and tickets aren't cheap.

So two Fridays ago I woke up at 4:30am with a killer migraine. I was less then excited because I had to be at work later that morning! A few hours later i was feeling better, so I started to get ready for work still not really excited about the day ahead. As I was almost done getting ready Elliot walks in the bathroom to talk to me. He had a Big smile on his face and asked me if I wanted to go to U2 in Vegas that night! I couldn't believe it! So needless to say I said Yes. I called in to work and had them clear my day. We left about an hour after that.

One of Elliot's friends had the tickets to U2 and he ended up not being able to go, so he asked Elliot if he would want them. My cute husband doesn't really like U2 , but he knew how much I wanted to see them. It worked out well because the Black Eyed Peas opened and Elliot loves them. Anyhow the concert was AMAZING, It was the best concert I have ever been to. If you ever have a chance to see them... do it. Elliot ended up liking it, he was happy they played all their old stuff. We had killer seats, there was a group of people two rows in-front of us that paid almost $5000 for their 4 tickets, Crazy!! I took some videos and I am sure only Karen and I will enjoy them, but i am going to post them anyway.

before the show started. This is a super close up.

Bono

Can you tell I was happy to be there?

Grandma Bagley

2009-11-01T14:42:00.000-08:00

Last weekend we took a road trip to California with Elliot's sisters Esther and Summer, Summers husband Steve and Mom B to go to Grandma Bagley's funeral. The funeral service was wonderful, it was great to see Elliot's family and the weather in California was beautiful. I didn't know her well, but I can tell she was a wonderful woman and she will really be missed.

Good Halloween News.

2009-10-31T14:00:00.001-07:00

My Best Friend Sarah and her boyfrined P.J.of NINE years FINALLY got engaged last night! This morning I got the phone call telling me the good news and to ask me to be in the wedding. I was a broken record all afternoon about how excited I am for these two to tie the knot. I can't wait for the wedding next October (the month of there 10 year anniversary) in Virginia. Congratulations to the cutest new engaged couple.

Don't worry Karen, (hopefully) tomorrow I will post about U2.

A Wedding!

2009-10-24T17:06:00.000-07:00

Congratulations again to Kristin and Adam!!

I wish it was summer all year round!!

2009-09-10T20:51:00.000-07:00

I have a serious love for all thing summer! This girls trip was the perfect summer/relaxing trip. All we did was eat, sleep, layout, laugh, Eat, shop, swim and layout some more. Sounds great right?!?

My girlfriends Erin, Caroline and I all meet up in Cancun. Erin lives in New York and Caroline was in D.C.

We went to Downtown Cancun to find the "real deal" Mexican food. It was Amazing!

This day might have been the Hottest day i have ever experienced in my life! Go figure that Mexico in August would be hot.

We went para-sailing one afternoon. The water was so clear that we could see stingrays and tons of fish from the sky.

I can't even tell you how much we ate. I was a little sad when I came home and there wasn't a buffet available whenever I got hungry.

All in all it was a successful trip. We got tan we relaxed we reminisced and no one got too sick :) Good bye summer, I will really miss you!

Girls Trip, No Husbands allowed.

2009-08-25T20:28:00.000-07:00

Tomorrow morning Bright and early I am going to Mexico for a week with some old girl friends. See ya soon!

Good buds and first haircut

2009-07-26T13:11:00.000-07:00

This week we had my brother his wife and baby TJ here to visit. TJ and Sophie became good buds. TJ is one busy little boy and one good eater, Sophie was sure that if she followed him around she might get some scrapes of food.

I gave TJ his first haircut. It was a sneak attach, Mom in front to distract and aunt Katie sneaking around taking little snips. I miss this little man already!

Happy Fathers Day!

2009-06-21T20:31:00.000-07:00

Happy Fathers Day to all the Dads we know, but here is a really special Happy Fathers day wish to our Dads.
As you all know we have no real reason to celebrate fathers day at our house, so we had my very sweet Grandpa over for dinner. My Grandpa LOVES Elliot, he can and will talk to him for hours upon hours. Elliot is the greatest husband, he is so cute and sweet with him.
I know that grandpa loves fish, so i made this really yummy salmon recipe. If you like salmon, you will love this recipe! I made a less spicy version for tonight.

Blackened Salmon with Blue Cheese Sauce

Ingredients

1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon cracked black pepper
2 tablespoons paprika
2 tablespoons salt
1 1/2 tablespoons cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon grapeseed oil, for frying
4 (6-ounce) portions skinless and boneless salmon fillets

Blue Cheese Sauce:

1/4 cup white wine (you can also use chicken broth)
1/2 cup heavy cream
3/4 cup blue cheese crumbles

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. (I grilled mine)

In a small bowl, combine the Italian seasoning, black pepper, paprika, salt, and cayenne. Season each piece of fish with the rub.

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the butter and oil. Once the butter has melted, add the fish and cook about 2 minutes per side.

Transfer the whole pan to the oven and cook for another 4 to 6 minutes.

For the sauce:

Place the white wine into a medium saucepan and reduce by half. Add the heavy cream and allow to reduce. Add the blue cheese and whisk until smooth. Serve on top of the salmon.

Missing the Beach

2009-06-09T14:29:00.000-07:00

The 2nd annual Glade beach trip was a blast, but I am always so sad when it is over! We were all worried about the weather, but once we got there Grandpa Tom had a conversation with the rain and it worked, we had beautiful weather.
The Glade Family.

The O.G's

Last night in Destin.

If you click on this pick you can see Elliot and Carlos near a Dolphin.

2009-05-13T12:24:00.000-07:00

Vegas! Even though I have lived in Vegas, going back to visit is always a blast. Elliot had to go out there for a meeting with Marie Osmond. It was a quick trip, but the weather, pool, shopping and show were all so great!
Angie and I with Marie after the show. She kind of makes me want to try the nutrisystem diet, Marie is skinnier in real life!

At the Donnie and Marie show.

Another Post about my dog. Don't read if you don't care.

2009-05-05T13:14:00.000-07:00

I know its lame to blog about your dog, but there might be 1 or 2 family members/friends that might like this post.
When we went to Texas a few weeks ago I accidentally left my camera at home, I am still waiting for my friends to email me the pics... we will see if that ever happens. Until then, here is this silly post
I got Sophie groomed today, when she walked out I just started laughing. She looks like a Dr. Seuss character. Pictures don't show just how funny it is.

Seriously this dog is one of a kind, she rings a bell when she needs to go potty, she hasn't had any accidents in the house, and she Never barks. She is still trying to win Elliot over, It has not happened yet.

Baby Brooke is here!

2009-04-09T21:13:00.000-07:00

My sister-in-law Heather had her little baby girl tonight. Here she is, a month early, really little and super cute.

A few days a go we bought our plane tickets to go to Florida in May. Ever since then all I can think about is the Sun, the ocean, WARM WEATHER and little nieces and nephews in bathing suits :). I have the bug, I am so anxious, May seems so far away! Wouldn't you be anxious if this is what you have to look forward too?

This the beach house.

The view from the beach house. Just a block from the beach.

This year Rob, Mel and baby TJ get to come +
the newest addition... Baby Hailey.

And of course these beautiful kiddos.

I can't wait for another fun week at the beach!

Mirror mirror on the wall...

2009-03-06T10:44:00.000-08:00

I catch Sophie in front of this mirror all the time just looking at herself. I've got a vain little fur ball.

She loves to hang out with me when I cook. It's weird, when she is around I happen to drop more food. Weird.

Sophie LOVES to have her belly rubbed. The second you bend down to pet her, she rolls right over.

I need to find a new spot for her treats.

The girls of this house don't like to be cold, She loves the fire as much as I do.

Cousins

This is the Shih Tzu I got in middle school, Little Annie. Hopefully these two cousins can meet one day.

What could be cuter?

2009-02-17T20:36:00.000-08:00

This was one of my favorite gifts this year.

Valentines Love

2009-02-15T11:49:00.000-08:00

This Valentines day might have been the best Valentines I have ever had. We got together with 3 other couples and all the husbands made a romantic dinner/evening. The wives walked into the kitchen and a candle lite dinner. We didn't have to cook or clean one thing.

The wives before dinner.

The table. All set and ready to go. Dinner was delicious.

They even made name place holders.

After dinner the boys sang some Boyz To Men to us... This really happened. All of the Husbands are hilarious, so it was half kidding and half serious.

The activity was to make candy posters. Of course they were super funny.

After dinner they baked us cookies. It was such a fun night, the boys put a lot of work into it. Thanks Honey for the fun night.

Its official, Sophie is here.

2009-02-12T18:14:00.001-08:00

I never thought that Elliot would give in on letting me get a dog. I 100% LOVE dogs and Elliot 100% HATES dogs, Our feelings on dogs could not be more different! Since the decision to get a dog is a huge one I really did have to wait until Husband said yes. The moment he said yes I jumped on the internet to find breeders in Utah. The next day I found Sophie, a few days later i drove up to Layton to see her. That same trip to Layton i paid for her, but couldn't take her home b/c I was going to Ga. soon after. The breeder was nice enough to hold her for me. (If i left Sophie with Elliot while I was in Ga. He would have given her away). As requested here are a few pictures.

She Loves the snow. She eats it, buries her head in it and jumps around in it. Its really cute that she loves it so much.

Sophie loves to have her belly rubbed, scrambled eggs, she loves to be snuggled and loves to chew on bones. She Hates the blow drier and the leash. She lets me know when she has to poddy so we can take her outside. Honestly there are times we forget she is even here. She is a really mellow quiet pup. The best part of all (for Elliot) is that she stays away from him. She is happy when he comes home, but she doesn't need to smell or jump up for him.
Pictures don't really do her Justis, she is so much cuter in real life.

Free Scrapbooking paper.

2009-02-12T07:14:00.000-08:00

I found out about this company because Elliot is working with them on a project. They have THE COOLEST paper stacks and if you go to this site at 12 o'clock (mountain time) you can get a free stack.

The crazy trip to Georgia

2009-02-11T08:20:00.000-08:00

Last week I went to Georgia to hang with my sisters, Mom and Dad. Some how my cute little nephew got the stomach flu on Tuesday, then my niece and sister got it Wednesday, my brother in law got it Thursday, my Mom got it Friday, my Dad got it Saturday and then I get in on Monday. There weren't many pictures taken to document this trip, but we were all to sick.

But here are the pictures i do have. I got to meet my new niece Hailey. She is so to cute!

I also got to see how much Abby and Charlie have grown. They say and do the cutest things!!

On Saturday morning and afternoon we all felt well enough to go the the Atlanta Aquarium. It was amazing. Charlie was so funny there. This was by far the best exhibit of the day... the alligators. The second Charlie saw them he was hilarious. He was yelling in joy and then wanted and tried to climb over the glass to get in the water with them. It was so cute... I love that kid.

Grandpa Tom with BFC (best friend cousins).

The sister
s
All in all it was a fun trip... minus the barfing! I already miss everyone, I can't wait for Florida in May.

Wish you guys were here!

2009-02-06T16:31:00.000-08:00

This afternoon before Grandpa Tom flew into Georgia to join us here, Abby made a poster for him.

She drew/stickerd everyone that is here right now.

Them we added everyone we wished was here... like Rob, Mel and TJ.

Also Uncle Ammon and Uncle Elliot.

And we can't forget the all the dogs. My personal favorite is Chaz, the horse dog with stripes. We also included the dog that is joining the family next Tuesday (Sophie).

We miss you Rob, Mel, TJ, Ammon and Elliot!!!!

Puppy Love

2009-01-22T14:11:00.000-08:00

This is little Sophie. That's right, this is my future dog. On February 10 she is coming home with me. Elliot finally came around on the dog thing, gotta love that guy!

You have to admit that she is cute! Sophie is a little Shih Tzu, she is 3 pounds right now and she is all black with a white chin and a white chest.

Chilli's

2009-01-17T17:05:00.000-08:00

Tell me if you think this is crazy. Elliot and I went to Chilli's one night this week for dinner. We ordered queso and fajitas, yumm. As the waitress was putting the queso on the table (it comes piping hot in that skillet thing) she drops it. The caso skillet falls on my side of the table and the hot quaso covers my hand... and my wool coat. I start to panick b/c my hand is litteraly burning, in my panick i couldnt find a napkin b/c mine was covered with quaso. After about 20 seconds of burning I calmly go to the bathroom to wash my hand and run it under cold water. I come back to the table and the manager was there talking to Elliot. I felt really bad for the waittress, so i told the manager that it was fine no big deal, my finger just got a little burned. Well the manager came out and sprayed some burn healing spray on my hand, b/c yes i got a blister on my hand from the stupid quaso. So long story short After burning my finger and having to get my coat dry cleaned they didn't even offer us a complementry meal. I couldn't beleive it!

Fat Smash

2009-01-08T14:55:00.000-08:00

Elliot and I decided to start the new year out by going on a diet... so original i know! Today is day 4 of the detox phase. I miss all my treats, but Elliot on the other hand is doing Great! I hope we make it through the detox without cheating!

Happy New Years

2009-01-01T11:47:00.001-08:00

We invited my cute grandpa Compton over for New Years Eve again. My parents were in town so we had a little party. My Grandpa normally goes to sleep at 8, but we got him to stay up until about 12:30 this year. We thought we should document it.

Most of the night was spent watching football. My Mom and I loved that.

Three generations, all with a love for sports.

The Bagley Family Christmas

2009-01-01T11:18:00.000-08:00

The Bagleys have a tradition of acting out the Nativity. This year JJ and Aubry were Joseph and Mary. Aubry is carrying baby Jesus and gold and JJ is carrying the frankincense.

This year they were introduced to the game Moods, which was a hit!
And we all ate a lot of treats!

Christmas is here!

2008-12-14T17:39:00.000-08:00

This year husband let me re-decorate the Christmas tree. I think it turned out great. Because I have no self control I put the majority of my decorations up by November 14. Here are some of the decorations at the Bagley house.

7 random facts about myself

2008-12-13T23:57:00.000-08:00

My cousins wife Kari tagged me Forever ago and i started this post weeks ago and then forgot all about it, so here are some embarrassing/weird things about me

1. When i eat fruity snacks (skittles, fruit snacks, starbursts) i have to line up the last 4 for 5 in the order i want to finish them off. I usually want to end on one like red or purple b/c they are my favorite. And if someone asks if they can have one of the last ones i already had plans for, i have a really hard time giving them up.

2. I have a system to what perfume i wear. Its weird. There are lots of them though so i can't tell you all of them. But here are a few... If i wear a something that i bought when i lived in Las Vegas (usually a funky outfit) I always wear my Very sexy perfume, b/c the smell reminds me of Vegas. If i wear a really girly or conservative outfit i wear my Chanel purfume b/c for some reason Chanel things are girly (i don't know). If i wear something really fancy i will wear my valentino perfume, b/c well i don't know why. I have like 10 purfumes so there are way too many systems.

3. I have to watch t.v to fall asleep. That is a bad habit.

4. I could eat Salad, steak, nachos/chip and salsa and chocolate at any time in the day. Those are my favorite things to eat.

5. I love to find a bargain. Its a Glade thing, my mom taught us young.

6.I hate doing my own hair. I always try and find reasons why i shouldn't wash my hair, b/c if i wash my hair that means i have to blow dry it.

7. I get really uncomfortable when people sing at me. Even if Elliot tries to sing to me. I just feel so weird, almost embarrassed for the person.

So there you have it, I am a weirdo.

Grandma Glade Stockings

2008-12-02T11:48:00.000-08:00

My Grandmother Glade had a tradition to make cute personalized stockings. I wanted to keep that tradition alive, but add a little flare. Here are the ones that i made. My little stocking girl might be a little goddy, but if you know me you know it fits well.

Her are the original ones. My Moms, Dads, Heathers and Becky's are all the ones my Grandmother Glade made. Little Annie (our dog) ate mine and Robs. Grandma Sandy made all the others. So cute. (these stocking are the ones that live at Grandma Sandy's house.)

The new Bagley ones.

Thanksgiving weekend

2008-11-30T18:59:00.000-08:00

We spent the Thanksgiving weekend in Las Vegas bc we wanted to get some good Christmas shopping in. It's kinda sad but Elliot got more shopping done than me. We left thanksgiving night after a delicious dinner, but I didn't get any pictures from thanksgiving day bc my camera was packed to go to Vegas.
In the Casino with Kara and Kimble

We stayed at the Trump Hotel in Vegas... It was really nice.

And played on the piano at FAO swartz

Vegas is Always a good time (to visit) Its nice to be home though.

Hello Hailey

2008-11-21T15:34:00.000-08:00

My sister Becky had her baby on the 19th. This is little Hailey Kate Sullivan. She looks so precious, i also think she looks a little like her Mom.

TWILIGHT at MIDNIGHT

2008-11-21T09:21:00.000-08:00

I went to the midnight showing last night.... it was really good. I am so glad I didn't force husband into seeing it, he for sure would have hated it. And I like who they cast for Edward much better now!

Yes, me too.

2008-11-12T19:32:00.000-08:00

So I've fallen into the trap that is Twilight. I can't stop reading it, I LOVE it! Well, actually I finished Twilight a couple of days ago and i am in the middle of New Moon (not as good as Twilight)

The kid they got to play Edward in the movie is all wrong, I even think he's unattractive.
I think they should have cast Henry Cavill.

College fund.

2008-11-11T14:19:00.000-08:00

I bought T.J this shirt so he could get a head start on his college fund. I think after my week there he got about half way there... from just me . I miss this little guy.

I love little Tommy!

2008-11-06T18:14:00.000-08:00

Tommy boy fell asleep on me and made my day! he knows how to melt Aunt Katie's heart.

Craft Night

2008-10-14T21:46:00.000-07:00

While Husbands were out playing sports, Esther (my sis-in-law) and I made these headbands. They might be the easiest craft yet. And they are the soft stretchy kind so they don't give you a headache.

How did winter happen already?

2008-10-12T08:41:00.000-07:00

This morning i woke up and wanted to take the dog i am dog sitting for a walk... this is what i found. I turned right back around and wanted to cry. This weather is Crap!

I tag Heather, Becky and Jenny.

The Witches Table

2008-10-07T08:45:00.001-07:00

Here is a half of the witches table (the finished half) that I made.

To make these all you do is empty glass bottles from your kitchen, or go to DI, i did a little of both. Then you type the labels, print them out, crumple them up, put it in tea, let it dry, spray with clear spray paint and then glue on with a glue stick. Also i added that straw twin and spray painted the lids black.

I don't know if you can see my cauldron next to the bottles, but it has my wedding extensions sticking out of it.

Hopefully by the time Halloween is over i will have finished this project... We'll see.

from Red to Goldilocks

2008-10-05T15:17:00.000-07:00

I was just looking at old pictures and came across the redheaded days. I know NO ONE else misses it, but i wasn't that bad.

In 5 to 10 business days

2008-10-04T14:56:00.000-07:00

In 5 to 10 days these are mine! I know, this is a silly thing to blog about, but I can't wait. The cold weather made me do it today.

The newest addition!

2008-09-28T15:48:00.000-07:00

My brothers wife Mel gave birth to this REALLY cute little boy on Thursday. Little T.J is so darling, I couldn't love him more.

This cute little one was named after one the the best men i know...my Dad (pic. below). Thomas Jaden Glade (TJ) was named after Thomas Scott Glade. Way to pick the cutest name in the History of names.

Go Blue!

2008-09-20T16:34:00.000-07:00

Today was the first sporting event Elliot and I have been to together. We got "Legacy seats" and also access to "The Tent" full of food and chocolate fountains... I have to say that is the way I like to watch games. Thanks Kara and Kimball for the really fun tickets.

And best of all we won.

Reasons to love Utah

2008-09-14T12:20:00.000-07:00

We went for a ride down the canyon with some good friends of ours. This time of year is beautiful here. Although it means that in a month or so there will be snow... and i don't love that about utah

And another reason, it might be the #1 reason. These highly addictive Utah truffles. I LOVE chocolate, i mean Love and these are my favorites. These are about as good to me as a piece of Godiva chocolate, and a fourth of the price. If you live in Utah and you haven't had one of these, i suggest you do.

Summers Wedding

2008-09-07T17:26:00.001-07:00

My sister-in-law Summer got married this weekend. Here are some pictures of the big day.

Elliot's brother Dane came in town for the wedding with his two cute little girls. His daughter Katie (keep in mind we share the same name... Katie Bagley) LOVES shoes, just like I do! At one point We lost Katie for a few minutes, I went straight to my closet and this what i found. So cute!

Kaylyn became bacame a pro ping ponger while she was here.

Black Beauty.

2008-08-28T08:40:00.001-07:00

I finally got a cruiser. I think this the first bike since my splatter painted pink and purple one i got when i was nine.

Thanks Cory and Shannon for having a killer sale last night!

New weight loss plan.

2008-08-11T08:02:00.000-07:00

Well i have a new weight loss plan. If you are interested here are the steps:
1. Go to Florida, catch some weird bug that the sides effects last a couple months.
2. Move. (Slowly for about a month)
3. Eat like crap and eat a lot. ex: corn dogs, doughnuts, french fries, chicken wraps, pizza, more corn dogs and chips and salsa.

The interesting thing about this diet was eating junk food. I usually eat pretty healthy, but when we were moving we only ate food that could be microwaved or maybe put in the oven. I don't really recommend catching that bug OR moving! I am still thinking about which one was worse, but i don't hate the results!!
(Also as of today we are 100% done moving out of our old house)

2008-07-31T21:36:00.000-07:00

Its been 1 year!

2008-07-28T08:20:00.000-07:00

Well one year ago today Elliot and I got married. Happy 1 year to us!!

Happy Birthday Elliot!

2008-07-20T21:29:00.000-07:00

Well Elliot turned 31 on Saturday, Happy Birthday to him. His gift is a new ping pong table to put in the theater room. Our new house is a good time!

Yes this is a golf cake! Two of Elliot's favorites, Golf and Chocolate pudding cake.
(if you look closely the candle melted flag 6)

We are moving!

2008-07-13T15:30:00.000-07:00

So we are moving to the big city of Orem and into a great house! We found it on��Saturday��(yesterday) and we have already started the move.

Ill post pic's once we are all moved in. It might be awhile.��

2008-07-10T18:55:00.000-07:00

Happy 4th of July!

2008-07-05T15:24:00.000-07:00

We spent the 4th BBQing and hanging with some friends.

My cake looked kinda like a 1st grader decorated it, but A for effort.

I have been ready for about a week so set fireworks off, so we bought a huge box. We surprisingly ran out fast.

Meava and Tane were so cute, they would do "fire dances" when the fireworks were going off. So cute! It was about 10x more entertaining than the actual firecrackers... and i love firecrackers!

The neighbor might have had fireworks from Wyoming... if you know what i mean.

Happy Birthday SumBum!

2008-06-26T16:38:00.001-07:00

Today was my sister in law Summers Birthday! This was a fun filled day. First IHOP for breakfast then Seven Peaks all afternoon. Happy Birthday SumBum.

I am not sure what could be cuter than a little girl in a swimsuit! And Aubrey has especially cute legs!!

Katie Celebrity Morph

2008-06-17T10:35:00.001-07:00

MyHeritage: Family trees - Genealogy - Celebs

Since about 1997 i have heard that i look like Jewel. Still to this day i get it all the time, but i did this celebrity morph three different times with three different pictures and it was Ashley Tisdale all three times.

What do you think?

Elliot Celebrity Morph

2008-06-15T21:03:00.001-07:00

Elliot was told in his younger years that he looks like Tom Cruise, but this says he looks like like the Tennis pro Andre. (Elliot's morph is kind of creepy)

MyHeritage: Family trees - Genealogy - Celebrities

A week in Paradise.

2008-06-04T19:51:00.000-07:00

What could be better than being with family, good weather, beautiful beaches, great shopping (well a good outlet mall) , amazingly fresh sea food and doing nothing but relaxing in the sun? NOTHING! I love Florida!

Most of The Glade Family.

Sadly Rob and Mel couldn't come.

My awesome Parents.

Sisters

My cute Hubby.

My mom had a birthday while we were there. This was the yummy sea food restaurant we went to. Happy Birthday Mom

Charlie was so cute. He was floating around the pool with his very own ice cream pop.

Abby was such a good corn husking helper. I loved it when Abby was my little shadow!

2008-06-04T16:44:00.000-07:00

Abby is a really good project manager. She is so cute b/c she gets bossy and its so funny. She also knows that Aunt Katie is a sucker and will do anything she wants!

It was Great because we got to spend a day with Elliot's family too. The Bagley's and the Merris' drove down to Florida and we had a fun day catching up and playing.

Charlie is so cute, he is Always doing the funniest things! He loves shoes and puts on every one he can find.

This is my favorite of Charlie. He looks so tuff... besides the pacifier. :)

These are my favorite beach buns!

Abby LOVES to pick flowers! Every time she sees one we Have to pick it, once again Aunt Katie is a sucker. At one point i told her to pick it herself and some how she pulled out the entire plant, roots and all.

I think he enjoyed that ice cream. (sorry Carlos and Mom for the bad pic.)

Two cuteies.

We couldn't take one more minute of ESPN, so all the girls squeezed into one bed and watched a movie.

After the wives where gone for a few hours, these were probably not the type of bags the husbands wanted to see. But, boy was it fun!

The sad/funny thing is this isn't even everything. The best part is my champ brother in law bought the most! Ammon made the Coach trip so fun!

The Bagley weekend

2008-05-18T21:01:00.000-07:00

Friday was a fun filled day at Boondocks. We played arcade games, then raced go-carts, after that it was bumper boats and last but not least laser tag.

Sunday: We went up to the park that Elliot and I got engaged at and had a yummy BBQ. When we finished up dinner we found out that the canyon was closed for a few hours b/c of an accident... so we went for a little hike.

After we got to the meadow we were hiking to, Heather suggested that the men sound have a competition to see who can start a fire first. (mind you we didn't have anything with us to start a fire.) They all worked together and they looked real manly doing it!

Update.

2008-05-07T21:35:00.000-07:00

So i only got one comment on "i got a tattoo today". I was not sure if anyone was interested in an update, but i got a few requests to see it. Here are a few pics

This is five days after with a little make-up.

This one is the morning after. I was so swollen!

I got a tattoo today!

2008-04-22T16:07:00.000-07:00

Ok so i didn't get a tribute to my mom. I DID get a lash enhancement with a tiny bit of eyeliner. This is only a few hours after so it is swollen and covered with ointment. (I know my eyebrows need some help!)

In a week or so it will look a lot lighter and thinner.

Ill post updates as it changes and what it looks like when i can finally start wearing make-up again.

Its not like riding a bike.

2008-04-15T14:42:00.000-07:00

So this afternoon while cleaning i had Rob and Big on in the background (one of our favorite reality tv shows about a skateboarder and his bodyguard) and it inspired me to pull my skateboard out of the closet. It has been about 2 years since i had used it (i got a little distracted when I start dating Elliot.) About 5 min. in to my session it stated snowing. what the? I guess it was a good thing b/c skateboarding isn't like riding a bike, it doesn't all come back when you get on. I am terrible now!

Some of my favorite guys.

2008-04-07T21:53:00.000-07:00

I was just looking at some wedding pictures and i came across these and realized i have the best men in my family! Aren't they all cute?

ETSY!!!!

2008-04-02T14:48:00.000-07:00

I made my Etsy store!

New toy.

2008-04-01T13:59:00.000-07:00

My computer died a few weeks ago, it had a long slow death. I have been using an old lap top of Elliot's that HAD to be connected at all times to his computer. So last night husband bought me a cute mini computer and i love it!

2008-03-27T22:44:00.001-07:00

Best Day Ever!!!

2008-03-22T23:04:00.000-07:00

Elliot and i drove to Roosevelt today to get a foot detox done (which was crazy) and the Best thing happened to me. I was looking at my Better Homes and Gardens magazine and there was a picture of a dog, of course i had to comment on how cute it was and out of no where Elliot said for Christmas i could get a dog or even before.
If you have ever talked to me before you would know that i LOVE little dogs and i have been wanting one forever, but Elliot hates dogs and doesn't want one. So this information was coming from left field, but i Love left field. I have The worlds best husband! I love you hun!

My favorite little dog in the world is a shih tzu, but sadly elliot thinks shih tzus are ugly so i can't have one. After some research today i like these dogs. Coton de tulear.
What do you think?

http://www.gempuppies.com/availablepuppiespage.htm

This breed is perfect for us. They are around 8 to 15 pounds( i want the smallest girl of the litter) don't shed have no pet dander, no known health problems, smart and easy to train, good with children and other dogs. It is very attached and loyal to its owners, makes a good watch dog and it has a distinct silly personality.

Bobby Who?

2008-03-03T15:34:00.000-08:00

Bobby Flay...I had no idea who Bobby Flay was until about 2 or 3 weeks ago. A friend told us all about him and how he was a genius. We went to his restaurant in Las Vegas (you might have seen pictures in a previous blog) and we fell in love... or i did. Long story short i bought my second and third cookbook from him this afternoon. Every night for about a week i have made dinner on the grill. I think everyone should own his cook books. I got mine on Amazon.com today for really cheap and my first one at Costco. (Not all of them are easy recipes though) Here are the three I have

Elliot and I love this sauce on chicken or steak from the grill:
1/2 cup maple syrup
2 tbs Dijon mustard
2 tbs horseradish
1tbs chili powder let sit for 15 min. Brush on meat a few min. before taking off the grill. Once meet in fully cooked and off grill pour on top. Its is surprisingly good! I used it last night on stakes and tonight on chicken.

Operation distract Grandpa from Grandmas Birthday worked! This week was my Grandmothers birthday, and the first year not having her here for it. I thought it might be a hard day for my cute Grandpa, so i planned a dinner party to give him something to look forward too. Thanks Shane and Lauren for attending.
And a special thanks to Bobby Flay for making a great cook book!

Vegas Banaza. Happy Valentines/Birthday/Weekend get away with friends!

2008-02-18T21:11:00.001-08:00

This trip to Vegas served a lot of purposes. We had been wanting to get away to Vegas for a while, it was a good way celebrate Valentines Days and most importantly a good way to celebrate my Birthday. We went to the show La Reve at the Wynn. Its was an amazing aquatic show. (Much cooler than it sounds.) The picture below is the stage.

On the drive down to Vegas (and the last two years that i have know Elliot) i could not stop talking about the éclairs at the Chocolate Swan. They are so painfully good!! This is my dream treat!

We gambled a few dollars... surprise surprise no one won anything.

Dinner at the Mesa Grill was delicious. We got the dessert sampler and they added a lemon meringue creme brulee as my birthday cake. It was the best creme brulee in the history of creme brulee.

6 desserts later...

Husband was so cute and wrapped my Valentines gift. It made me smile every time i looked at it.

Shot um up

2008-02-10T23:45:00.001-08:00

We went to the shooting range this weekend, but before we went shooting we went and looked at buying a hand gun. As i had a 9mm in my hand Elliot said, " You can ether have this gun or a sewing machine." It made me laugh so hard! I picked the sewing machine, so in the mean time we rented these huge 22's. Eveyone was a little shocked that i already owned about 7 boxes of bullets.

I got a real Haircut!

We went four wheeling and sledding in the mountains it was a blast until we almost go shot by some drunk rednecks.

(Chaz and Anny are dogs)

I love this Glade tradition! I can't wait to make these stockings for my house!!
Elliot's stocking describes him well!
Early morning coloring with a girl who loves to color! What a great outfit! A shirt dress, glitter shoes and a fury coat.
Grandpa helping Abby make Famous Grandma rolls. The very rolls that...

That almost killed Chaz. Or that Chaz almost killed himself on. Chaz broke through a door and a baby gate and made his way up-stairs. there he found the jack pot! Many Many trays of raw rising dough. By the time we got home on Christmas Eve he had eaten about 36 rolls!! At first it was kind of funny, until Rob found out that it could kill him. Long story short Rob stayed up All night on Christmas Eve with Chaz to make sure he didn't die. Luckily he didn't die, but he was so very sick. Its still funny though.I waited all week for Abby to agree to put on her Island Barbie Princess dress. Finally a few hours before i was going to the airport she asked me to put it on her. I loved it. Then she refused to smile...
Until I bribed her to smile by a chocolate bar. You got to love those Aunts!Cute little monkeys smiling in the dressing room at the photo studio but not for the actual pictures What a cute little snow bunny. We got plenty of snow in Kansas for Abby's first snow day ever!

Chaz was Charlies favorite toy for a while. This dog looked like a deer, and charlie is sooo small.

Husband went out of town for 4 days last week, and this is what happened while he was gone.
