cupcakes

today at church my Young Women’s Leader gave us all the delicious Peanut Butter Cupcakes

so I deiced I would make my family some mini-cupcakes

it’s not that hard so I went online and found this recipe but instead of making the cupcakes from scratch (way to much work)

I just added rootbeer extract to box cake mix and then use the recipe for the frosting (:

 

but I put the frosting on way to fast so it melted all over but it still tasted good (:

so after making some pretty successful rootbeer ones I decided to be a little more ambitious and try and make these

but they didn’t turn out as well as the first so if anyone wants to try and make some mtn. dew cupcakes please do and if they turn out good I loved to try them (:

i love this picture

Soul Surfer

i just saw this movie with my friend tori and i would highly recommend it it has such a great story and i was on the edge of my seat the whole time

this is my favorite part of the movie and it really stuck out to me
she was asked
"if you could go back to that day and not go surfing would you"
her reply was
"No. If I could go back to that day, I would go surfing. It may seem like such a terrible thing that happened, but I can see now that there has been so much good that has come out of it. And I wouldn’t change that. Losing my arm was not the end of the world. "

i love that because we all have had trials in our lives some are bigger than others but there all part of the plan and things happen for a reason and it really makes me think back on my life and the last couple years of my life have not exactly been how i would have thought or even planned but it's been what was suppose to happen to me and watching that movie just reminded me why things happen and that everything really does happen for a reason and not just a reason but the right reason (:

so i give it 5 stars and if your in the mood for a good inspirational movie take some time to go see it you won't regret it!
