I Heart Desserts!

This week's challenge at I Heart Faces is "Desserts"! And I absolutely LOVE desserts! I don't eat them too often b/c my husbands never lets me order them, but I still love them! Here is my entry- This, I believe, is a chocolate mousse cake. While my mom and me were vacationing in Florida, we went to this French cafe. They had so many desserts that looked good but this is what I picked out. And let me tell you, it was delicious! Not too rich but just right! :)

My Story in Photos: Dessert Recipe

This weeks challenge for I Heart Faces is "My Story in Photos: Dessert Recipe". We are to pick our favorite dessert and tell a story on how it is made! :) I love desserts..I have a very BIG sweet tooth! For Easter this year..I searched the Pillsbury website for a yummy recipe and found this: Easter Nest Cookies! I thought it would be a cute idea and also a yummy cookie recipe to try! So first..

Ingredients:
1 pkg. (16oz) Pillsbury Ready to bake sugar cookies
1 container (12oz) Fluffy white frosting
1 cup flaked coconut
food coloring
jelly beans (I used speckled M&Ms)

Directions:

1. Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Bake cookies as directed on pkg. Cool completely.

2. Frost cookies. Add coconut to a resealable plastic baggie. Add 2 to 3 drops of your favorite food color, shake bag to blend color. Sprinkle about 1 tsp. coconut on each cookie.

3. Top with speckled candy (in my case M&Ms)

I used neon food coloring to get spring colors for the coconut

Another beautiful day outside!

Today has been another beautiful day to play outside with Tristan..I tried to do bubbles with him but it was just a little windy for that, so instead he ran around our yard chasing after our dog, Dewey. He had so much fun! Here are a few pictures from today!

He was picking all the loose pieces of our table off..

Then he would organize them on our chair..

Then pick some more off..

Cheesy face..

Giving Dewey a hug..

Love this picture!

And on a side note: I entered a contest a couple weeks ago to win a newborn sling for newborn photography from Keri Meyers!! And I won!!!! Yay!! I'm so excited!!!! I've always wanted to get one, but they were just a little too expensive for me to get.

Visit her website to see what I won! :) I picked out the dark chocolate sling!

Dramatic B&W Photo Challenge: {I Heart Faces}

This weeks challenge at I Heart Faces is "Dramatic black and white photo"! I love black and white photos. I'm a real sucker for them. :) As soon as I saw this challenge I knew what photo I wanted to use, though my entry is several years old, I still wanted to enter it! My entry is at my brother's wedding. My brother and his wife are cutting their cake in this photo! :) I just love their expression! He is being so careful when cutting the cake and she just looks like she's ready to dig in! Ha! Enjoy!

Be sure to head on over to and see some more dramatic B&Ws!

Have a great week everyone!!

I heart faces: Focusing on Angles!

I love taking pictures with angles! I try to do it as much as I can. That is the challenge this week at I heart faces, Angles! I took this photo the other day when we had beautiful weather outside. We took Tristan to the park b/c we figured he would want to play on the playground. But instead of playing we enjoyed watching all the other kids play. So that is why he's not really paying attention to me in the photo. He was watching the kids! Would've been a better picture if he was actually looking at me, but I still love this photo!

Head on over to and see some more angles!
Enjoy your week everyone!!

Update on our lives!

Happy St. Patricks Day!!!! Hope everyone wore green today!

Haven't really posted much about our lives lately. So here goes...

1. We sold our house!!!!!!!!!! Yay! only bad thing is our closing date is April 16. great..we did go look at about 9 different houses last weekend. And now we have a top 3!

2. Yesterday was a B-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l day!! We took Tristan to the park..he loved it!! He really didn't want to do anything but watch all the kids..he did however walk around the whole park. And that's a long way for him. :) good exercise though! Here are a few pictures from yesterday.

3. Still working at JCPenney photography studio. I love it..but don't work as much as I want to.

4. The other day Tristan wasn't watching where he was going and ran right into a door..Stupid door didn't move. So that left a big bump on his forehead..now it's just bruised..but it looked awful. Can you see his nice bump?

5. And we are just enjoying life! Here are a few pictures I have taken recently. Enjoy and have a good rest of the week!
