I think it is offically Spring!

The festival of Colors





My best friend Sam!



Skyler seriously loved it!!!!












Skyler and Collin, my little brother. I was so excited he came to visit! Skyler wanted to do everything with him!

These are the yummy cupcakes I made. I put a cookie at the bottom of the cup cake liner and then filled in 3/4th the way through with chocolate fudge cake mix. For the frosting I added a drop of peppermint extract to the chocolate fudge icing. I used green molding chocolate to make the 4 leaf clovers. I saw it on a blog but can't remember which one to give you the link.


So we have been doing lots of stuff lately! My brother has been in town so we have played with him. We have gone to the park a ton because it is finally spring! We went to the festival of colors! At the festival Skyler had so much fun! There were a lot of people! We had to walk 2 miles to get there, so I got my exercise for the day!

Clint got pinched

This morning I forgot it was St. Patty's Day. Luckily I put on my green work out pants! Clint didn't and when I meet him for lunch... I just had to pinch him.

My friend and I went to the mall today. When we were about to leave, one store left to window shop at, Skyler proceeded to through a screaming temper tantrum. For 30 minutes. 30 minutes was the time it took me to get him from one side of the mall to the other and in the car during the screaming, kicking, flinging, trying to escaped out of the stroller, and grabbing the strollers wheel to stop me from moving. It was amazing. But I didn't loose my temper which I am proud of myself about.

Yesterday was beautiful. Today isn't as Sunny but the temperature is just as nice. We have had are windows open for two days. I am dying for Spring to stay and then Summer to come.

Clint, Skyler, and I meet my Mom and Sister for lunch yesterday. My little brother was there too and came up and surprised me. I haven't seen him since November. He lives with my Dad and Step Mom in Texas. It was amazing to see him and a great surprise. Skyler adores Collin. He was following Collin around everywhere he went. Then that night Clint and I were making chocolate chip cookies together and Clint's Brother Chad and his wife Kelly knocked on our door and surprised us. They live in Cedar City and were coming through to go to Kelly's brother's wedding today. Yesterday was the day for surprises.

That's all the rambling I have for today. When I upload pictures off my camera I will show y'all the chocolate thin mint cookie cupcakes I made for Saint Patrick's Day. They were to die for.

Be Mine

How did I get so lucky?



This Valentines Day really was the best. How can I not feel love on the Day of LOVE when those are my boys! I love my little family!



These are the flowers I came home to on Saturday. Beautiful. My hubs knows me!



Sunday Morning I decided to make heart shaped cinnamon rolls. I used this recipe and got the heart shaped idea from this blog. Let me just say that I think they turned out so dang cute and they were sooooo yummy. Dangerously yummy. I think this will be a Valentines morning tradition in our house.















Then we decided to have a little Valentines fun and take a photo shoot.








I hope y'all had a wonderful Valentines Day

Yummy Cheddar Brats with.... I don't know what side yet ;-)

Chick-Fil-A Chicken Salad

2/3 cup mayonnaise
1/3 cup very finely diced celery (left out because we didn't have any on hand)
1/4 cup sweet pickle relish
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
2 1/2 cups of chopped Chick-Fil-A chicken nuggets

Today I went to Chick-Fil-A for lunch. I receive text messages from them every so often with coupons or discounts.Today they were doing a food drive and if you brought in a can of food you got a free 8 count of chicken nuggets. Well I went at noon and was sent away because the food drive didn't start until 4pm (Of course I got lunch there anyway). I picked Clint up from school at 5:30 with 3 cans this time stored in my purse. One for Skyler, one for Clint, and one for Me! We received a total of 24 abosultely free nuggets! What a deal! I had already planned my dinner. Pork Chops with mashed potatoes and roasted cauliflower. Off the subject for a second, the roasted cauliflower was amazing! My non-vegetable eating Husband loved it! Anyway, we were planning on just warming the nuggets up and eating them for lunch tomorrow. Then I had an amazing idea. Googled Chick-Fil-A chicken salad and found a recipe. Clint's first job was Chick-Fil-A; he taste tested my chicken salad and gave me a 5 star! I am really excited so I had to share it with y'all! And, I am excited for lunch tomorrow too!

Children's Place

1 pair of sweat pants
1 pair of jeans
1 pair of windbreakers
1 pair of dress pants
1 sweater
1 sweatshirt
& 4 long sleeve shirts

total cost $15.00
each piece of clothing cost $2.99.
Thank you Children's Place

* So if you did the math... your right10 items at 2.99 equals $30.00 BUT not for ME! If you bought a pair of adorable jeans two weeks before at Children's Place for $15.00 and they were one of the jeans that went down to $2.99 you buy the same pair again and return the old pair that your babe hadn't worn yet! Amazing thinking, I know!
