More from the photo shoot

My friend Melissa continues to send me more pictures

from the photo shoot the other day.

I seriously cannot go back to my lame,basic digital camera! I just can't.

Hmmm...I think I know what I want for my birthday!

{hint...hint!}

So, I thought I would share some more of these precious photos.

Major kudos to Melissa Smith for taking these. She has such a great eye!

I only wish all my kid's had been present for this photo shoot. Dang school!

We will have to go back out....soon!

Fun at the park

We had such a fun time yesterday at the park!

 My friend Melissa brought her awsome camera/lenses and took a ton of pictures Emersyn and some of Logan.

Didn't these turn out SO cute?!?!

There are still more photos coming in from this shoot. Such a treat!

I will share more soon.

It was a school day so my older 3 couldn't join in.

We will definatley have to do this again with everyone!!

Thanks Melissa!

Save the date!!

If you haven't experienced Matilda Jane...

*+* Sweet Ideas *+*

I have been seeing so many cute Valentine treat ideas!

I have so many ideas and recipes I want to try.

And when I find cute ideas, I want to share...

enjoy!

{ candy hearts and marshmellows}

Aren't these so super cute?!

They sorta look like Brownie Pops but their made with Vanilla Wafers.

 I haven't tried them yet,.. but I am going to try this idea with the kids next month;

Ingredients:

• 15 caramel squares

• 32 vanilla wafers

• 16 lollipop sticks

• 1 cup semisweet- or milk-chocolate chips

• Valentine sprinkles

Directions

1. Melt unwrapped caramels in a microwave according to package directions. Working quickly, spoon small dollops of caramel onto 16 wafers. Place a lollipop stick in center, and top each with another wafer to make a cookie sandwich.

2. Melt chocolate chips according to package directions. Dunk each cookie sandwich in chocolate and shake to remove excess. Top lollipops with sprinkles and place onto wax-paper-lined baking sheet. Chill for 5 to 10 minutes or until firm.

I KNOW I will be finding more cute ideas/recipes...

check back!

*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*~*+*

Yesterday, we met my parents in Charlotte, North Carolina. 

Buca di Beppo is one of our favorite restraunts from Cali

and pretty much a family tradition when it comes to birthday celebrations.

We are very lucky to have one close by.

We ate some delicious margherita pizza, baked ravioli,salad and bread and....

yeah..it was good.

I need to add some pictures from today and tonight when we celebrate some more...

Check back soon!
