3 Things I Love Today!

In case you were wondering...


#1-My Daddy's Improvised Cinnabon


Everyone knows I LOVE having my parents live 2 hours away (that's a given) but it is sooo much fun to spend more time with my Daddy. He is the sweetest thing in the world and we all get a kick out of him and his little quirks :) The latest is his morning creation that goes perfectly with either a Diet Coke (me) or a fresh cup of coffee (Papa).


First, toast an English Muffin and lightly spread with butter
Second, add a layer of Betty Crocker Cream Cheese Frosting
Third, generously sprinkle STRAIGHT cinnamon on top


This creation is the best so far, IT IS SOOOO GOOD!!! And my mom and I think it's not as fatty as a Cinnabon. :)




#2- My Handy Manny Husband

This has been on the "Someday" list for a loooong time....adding shelving to the boys closet. Since we built our house and moved in in only 4 months, a lot of things were left to do once we moved in.....don't know if that was a good idea :) We can finally mark this off the list. For only $200, we got to Extreme Makeover little boy closets.

#3- Glitter Toes!!!

Yes, they are back! I had Glitter Toes last summer and loved them and didn't realize how much I missed them until this week when I got new ones! If you don't know, it's acrylic toe nails with glitter mixed into the acrylic so they last about 2 months with NO paint chipping off!!! We had the cutest little family move into our neighborhood a few months ago, the Barclays, and she just opened up the cutest salon in her basement. So I can get glitter toes done whenever I want! :) amongst other things. Stephanie Barclay grew up 10 minutes from me in North Dallas and her husband Scott played baseball against Kev in high school and were friends. (2 Sanpete boys marrying 2 Dallas girls) We have so much in common. It's been fun getting to know them. Here are my toes, Troy was with me when we did them and he REFUSED to let me get any color other than Gold....I was sooo indecisive that day that I just did it. And I love how they go with everything!

Our Day with Thomas

A parenting "MUST" that I learned very quickly: What you do for one kid, you have to do for another. Since Troy got to go visit Thomas the Train when he was 2, we knew Colt would love his own visit. We brought along Papa and Cookie, and Uncle CJ who was in town visiting, JUST what he wanted to do on his 2 week vacation that he gets once a year. We had a blast, with EVERYTHING Thomas!
A little Sir Topham Hatt....

a little tattoo parlor....

The Sweetest Family in the World....

I am sorry I have been a little "out of it" lately in the blog world...the only thing to blame is a little thing called Facebook :) I have been pretty much addicted and while it is sooo fun, I still want to keep my blog up and going. There is nothing like looking at blogs to see everyone's individual personalities. A few weeks ago we were lucky enough to have an amazing photo shoot by Jenny Wheeler. I was blown away by the results, most of you have already seen them but I had to post them again :) I love how our personalities shine in the photos...to me that is all that I wanted to accomplish in the shoot. Jenny was amazing to work with and I HIGHLY recommend her to anyone who lives in Utah. This is the start of MANY photo shoots with her.
