Washington DC

one word.... AMAZING.

That is the only thing i have to say about Washington DC.

Just kidding.. I have a million things to say about DC. It was amazing, inspiring, beautiful, historical and absolutely one of the most incredible places I have ever been. I LOVE LOVE LOVED IT! I was able to go with my cousins, brother and Grandpa Max.

Here are a few highlights from our trip....

Thanks for taking me Grandpa Max. And thanks for paying for it mom. i love you.

Father's Day

This year for Father's Day we threw a party at our house for all of the dads at Performance audio. We had a super yummy barbeque and then we all drove to the drive in to watch Toy Story 3.




I think that this was my favorite of all of the Toy Story's. It was a little bit of a tear jerker, but I loved it. Just like all of the others, it stuck with the family friendly humor that only toys could accomplish. If you are thinking about going to see it, DO IT!

Our barbeque preparations started the day before with the desserts and when you see the pictures as you scroll down, you will understand why it took 2 days to accomplish. My mom and I had the same idea to do the fathers day desserts from Bakerella.


Mini Dessert Burgers



We used cupcakes for the buns and brownies for the burger patty




Sugar Cookie French Fries



And viola! our finished products. They were event yummier than they look!




Tiffany put together treat bags for every family to take to the drive in.



Overall, our hard work showed and everyone loved it! We had a super fun fathers day.
