New Family Pics...and Some Exciting News!

So it has been AGES since I've posted...I know, I know! Life has been crazy around here! I started a new job at the beginning of November and it is keeping me super busy. It's a really great opportunity and something we thought long and hard about. I'm working more hours now than before, but hopefully in a very short time it will pay off and I will be able to spend more time at home. I mean who wouldn't want more time at home with this cutie?

We decided we were well over due for some family pictures. So, Randall called up our friend Natalie Montes and scheduled a time for our pics. They turned out soooo great! We love them! Natalie rocks and we're so grateful she was able to make our pics. Thanks Natalie!

And Last, but certainly not least...We're expecting! Baby #2 is due May 31st...and we couldn't be more excited. Randall is hoping for a girl and I will be happy with either, but I do have a feeling it's gonna be a girl. We should find out in the next couple of weeks! So excited!

Pirate Pics for Ye Scurvy Dogs!

Captain Tytan Arona!

(WARNING: Photo overload ahead...courtesy of our awesome photographers Kendra & Melanie McClure. Thanks Girls!)

Our adorable lil Pirate had an awesome Birthday Bash with all of his friends and family present. I cannot thank everyone enough for all of the help in decorating the church, preparing the food, and pampering our birthday boy! He had a great time and we partied until late that night with an incredible Dinner, Dancing, Walking the Plank, a Best Dressed Pirate Contest, Pinata, Cotton Candy and much more!

Mommy & Daddy with our Birthday Boy!

Tytan was so happy Uncle Benji made it to our Special Event!

Uncle Jared and Cousin Hyrum were decked out in their Pirate attire!

Cousin Razzie looked so cute in her Pirate Maiden get up!

Aunt Kendra and Uncle Josh were serious competitors in our Best Dressed Contest!

The McClure Family - True Scallywags!

Auntie Robin came all the way from Boston for Tytan's Party. He enjoyed meeting her for the first time and loved giving her Pirate Kisses. It was so great to see you Auntie! We LOVE you!

Pirate Princess Danica. . .so dang cute!

Captain Tytan and Swashbuckler Mommy!

Captain Tytan made an appearance on the top of his Pirate Cake. We were seriously pressed for time, so this is not the cake we had anticipated, but we're just happy we made it there with a cake at all!

All of our Pirate Guests enjoying their Delicious Pirate Dinner which included "Cut-Throat Kebabs" (These were to DIE for...thanks Dad!), "First Mate Fruit Salad", "Peg Leg Corn", "Sea Biscuits" (Another favorite...you're awesome mom!), and "Parrot Potato Salad" (Auntie Dee...you rock!)

Again, tons of thanks to My In laws, My Parents, Randall's cousins and Aunties, My S-I-L Kendra and everyone else who seriously made the party. We couldn't have done it without you! We Love you all!

Houseboat!!

So, I'm sad to say that my dad is selling his share of our awesome Houseboat. We've had some killer times living it up in luxury at Lake Powell, but unfortunately times are tough and none of us manage to find the time or money with young families to head out there. Needless to say, our loss could be your gain! If you are interested in acquiring a share, my Dad is offering an unbelievable price. $10,000 OBO!! We have incredible weeks in June and the Beginning of October (which happens to be the best time...perfect weather and no crowds hoggin the lake!), plus additional lottery weeks. The boat has 4 Bedrooms, all amenities, a huge great room, an upstairs patio, TV's, a water slide off the back of the boat and much more! We have been up there with 4 families at a time, including kids and babies and it's been phenomenal! If you're interested or know anyone who might be looking for an ultimate Family Getaway, call Chuck at 480.694.4818! All offers considered! Thanks!

Ahoy, Matey!

Tytan is getting ready to celebrate his first birthday in September and we're hosting a Pirate Party! So we dressed him up to take some cute Pirate pics for his invitations. Unfortunately, the only way to keep the pirate attire on him, was to occupy his hands with cheese puffs (Wonder where he gets his love for food?!) or he would immediately rip it off. These were just a few of the fun pics we got. This lil matey is always crackin us up!

New Blog!

Randall and I just set up a new blog for our Cake Business. I figure everyone is tired of seeing random posts about cake and they'd rather see posts about our cute boy! So, if you wanna see our cakes or know someone who needs a cake for a special event, please visit www.caketitans.blogspot.com! Thanks!

Happy Birthday Prince & Princess!

The twins are turning ONE!! I cannot believe all of the babies are growing up so fast. Only 2 months before Tytan will be joining the One Club! Since it's such a special occasion, Randall and I decided to make a couple of special cakes for the Birthday Babies. Let us know what you think!

Happy Birthday Kaimen & Danica! We LOVE you! It's been such a fun year having you in our Family!



On a side note: I made these cupcakes for my girl Carley the other day. I thought they turned out pretty cute!

Taking The Plunge

So we've decided to make it official and start selling our cakes for all of your special occasions! Below are a couple of Wedding Cake Samples with various colors which would of course be dictated by request. This design is only one of several we can do. If you know anyone who is getting married or having a special party please send them our way! Questions or Requests can be sent to CakeTitans@gmail.com. Thanks!

Move Over Ace of Cakes!

Randall and I have been having so much fun creating cakes for every occasion. Over the weeekend we made two. The first was a Killian's Irish Red Beer Keg for my buddy Jason's birthday. I didn't even know where to begin considering I've never seen a real live keg, but google has pictures of everything. We were really happy with the outcome!

Next, Randall wanted to make a purse cake for his co-worker, Gloria. He had a design in mind and we got to work late Sunday night. I worked on the cake while he worked on the details. The finished product was beautiful. Randall did all of the intricate detail work and he did amazing! Hope you agree!

The Traveling Trio

Over the past couple of weeks we've taken a few trips and I'm just barely getting around to blogging. We first started off with a road trip to St. George for Randall's cousins' wedding. Tytan was such a good boy and the wedding was beautiful. Here are a few pics:

The Happy Couple!

Our lil' fam at the Beautiful St. George Temple

Daddy let Tytan drive for a minute during a major delay on the way home. He was a pro!

Then the time quickly came for my boss to take us on our annual trip for making last years goals. This trip was to an all-inclusive resort in Cozumel, Mexico! We had a great time! Tytan was such a good boy on the long flights and the lay overs. What a blessing it is to have such a sweet baby. Here are a few pics from the trip ('a few' is a gross understatement!):

This was Tytan's very first time on an airplane. He loved looking out the window. . .

The first thing I wanted Tytan to experience was the beach. He was so tired, but he was a good sport so mommy could get some pictures of him playing in the sand.

We ventured into town one night for some 'real' food (namely tacos) and had a good time hanging with Polly and her hubby Brandon. Unfortunately, I think the cat meat, aka beef tacos gave me a nasty parasite. Oh well, weight loss here I come!

I'm not sure who enjoyed the Kiddy Pirate Pool more, Tytan or Daddy! Randall must have taken Tytan down that slide 1000 times. He is such a good daddy and they had a blast together!

Wayne took us on a snorkeling trip by catamaran. The reef was beautiful and we saw sea turtles, flying fish, barracuda, and so much more. To top it off, the outing ended with a beautiful sunset.

This is Tytan napping in the pool. He loved his lil floaty and would get so relaxed he'd dose right off to sleep!

Tytan was sad to end his vacation. As we departed from Cozumel he stared out the window wishing we could stay forever. Thanks again Wayne for the awesome vacation!
