brisk saturday morning...

i cant think of a better way to start off the day... you know when you havent had something for awhile and then you finally find yourself cooking it and after eating wondering why you had abandoned or forgotten it... well that is how i feel about french toast this week...

i know, it is actually something very simple... but i fell in love again...i had forgotten how much i love french toast...

it started one morning of this week, i cannot remember the exact day... we had everything but bread to make french toast, so i opted for english muffins... and to top it all off we even had strawberries!!! i would recommend anyone that likes french toast to try it with english muffins, the density of the english muffins made it so wonderful...

...this brisk saturday morning we had french toast made with hawaiian sweet bread. this bread is one of my favorites ... i am pretty sure you can find it at any grocery store in the baking aisle and you have to try it!!!

back to the french toast... i added a little coconut to the egg mixture, an idea that came from the back of the box... so good, and i just had to share...

what a beautiful morning it is... hope you are all having a wonderful saturday!!!

yummy...

i love this website: design mom

she always has such fun stuff and great finds... today she has chocolates! i am not in love with chocolate... dont get be wrong i like it, especially dark chocolate... but ever since being pregnant it seems i eat a lot more chocolate... crazy huh...

after reading her review and seeing pictures, all i can think about is how i want to try these truffles!!! coco-luxe confections

how cute are these chocolates...

happy february...

another bitter sweet moment...

i cant help but feel an overwhelming sense of peace right now as i write this...

we wanted to honor our beloved prophet Gordon Bitner Hinckley who has passed away today.... only about two short hours ago at 7pm... we will miss him terribly... but are so happy that he can once again be reunited with his wife... his other half... his eternal companion whom he so dearly and undoubtedly loves...

what a great great man... it was always such a joy to hear him speak.... to look forward to the next time you would hear his voice and see his overwhelming joy for this church and life... he will be greatly missed!!! i know that he was a true prophet, he spoke with our heavenly father and cared for not only each and every member of this church but each and every son and daughter of God...

i have loved working with the young women because i have been able to testify to them that we do have a living prophet and that he does love them and thinks about them often... my testimony of him and this church has grown greatly through this experience... and i believe will continue to strengthen...

he was such a knowledgeable person and served this church with everything he had... what a great man!!! we will certainly miss his most wonderful sense of humor and that cane that he always was swinging around as if he did not need it...

Deseret Morning News

we just got back from my last doctors appointment and she just got her new ultrasound machine... so she can do 4d ultrasounds in her office... so awesome... here is a side profile of his face, one hand in front by his chin and the other over by where his left ear is.... i wish i could make it bigger, but hopefully you can make him out...

thanks for an awesome baby shower!!!

i wanted to post a thank you to my mom and for everyone that helped out with throwing me an awesome baby shower... i always laugh at those two words now... here in mexico they also say "baby shower" just with a mexican accent so it would be kind of like "baybee chowwear"...

thank you to all... the food was awesome and the company even better... baby jones is going to be so cute in all the fun clothes and awesome shoes that he got!!! only about two more months and he should be here... we cant wait...

people have been asking...

i am pretty sure we have a name... jones.... brent came up with this name for our baby and i love it... it has a few meanings for us...

1- it is a family name from his moms side of the family

this picture is of brents moms great great grandparents on her moms side: alfred thomas jones is the man with the stunning stash

... then brents moms dads mothers father is timothy jones... brents great great grandfather... also sporting a stylish stash...

2-maurice jones-drew... nfl... he has an awesome victory dance... brent and i both can do a pretty good mock of it... to see this dance: click play and you will see "wild card playoffs:maurice jones-drew highlights"... at about 1:13 he does the dance!

3- jones soda... why not.. it is good stuff... have you tried the hot cocoa flavor?

... and this has nothing to do with the name... but enough said... haha...
