busy man

Daddy is a busy man.

He is such a wonderful seminary teacher! There is always a lot of talk in this house about lesson plans, students, and scriptures. Not only does he spend all day in the scriptures at work, but he comes home and reads them on his own and then again with me. I'm telling you, scripture genius here (he might say otherwise). I love this man!

But there is always love time for Mommy and Maggie!

Also recently Caden was called into the bishopric. The call was a surprise to both of us. I'll have to get used to being a single church wife sitting alone. I'm so proud of him and his dedication. He's such a wonderful example to me. Love him!

yum...Granola

I made this yummy granola today and I just have to share the recipe. I have already eaten way too much!!

4C old fashioned oats

1C rice krispies

1/2 C almonds

1/4 C flax seed

1/2 C brown sugar

*mix in bowl*

6T. oil

1/2 C honey

2T vanilla

*Boil for 1 min and pour over mixture, stir*

* Spray cookie sheet and flatten mixture on pan

*Bake at 300 for 30 min

Break into chunks when still warm or let cool completely and cut into bars

sprinkle salt on top for added flavor and YUM!

It's so easy and so yummy! you can switch up the recipe too however you want. In this batch i used less vanilla and added cinnamon. I also put in more sliced almonds and added pecans. You could even add maple syrup. Don't have flax seed no worries, add sunflower seeds or not. add raisin's, craisin's or chocolate chips after baking. It's that easy and I'll say it again... yummy!

(Thanks Kate for the awesome recipe!)

our love day

It first started out with some play time in the crib.

(okay is it wrong of me that i just have the urge to squeeze her. i could just eat her cheeks she's so cute!)

Then we did pink pedicures.

Enjoyed a sugar cookie (from the day before).

Surprised dad at work with a balloon and candy and I got surprised with these.

Cooked a romantic pasta dinner

And then had cuddle time

Happy Valentine's Day!

i love screamin deals

So a few weeks ago, I found this lush gorgeous coat at Baby Gap for $10.18!! I had to have it!! How could you not at that price! She can barely put her arms down and gets frustrated because she can't suck on her fist, but hey, at least she looks adorable!

She will soon outgrow it in a month or two, but we'll get some good times out of it.

And then this was the scowl I got after she was done taking pictures.
