Mutual: March Birthday Party

This is long overdue. I've been very busy as of late.

In March the Young Women celebrated all their birthdays with a big birthday party! I wasn't able to go, but it sure looks like they had a good time.

Below are pictures from Alleen. I wish I could take credit for them, because they are sooooo cute, but I can't :( She's the one with the skills.

Food Photography: Week 14 - Cinnamon Roll

And now we're back to pulling my food subjects randomly! I really wanted to try to make cinnamon rolls from scratch, but couldn't find the time to do it :(

I decided that the Pillsbury Grands! would work fine :)

Food Photography: Week 13 - Apple Pie from Magnolia Bakery

Jeff and I went to see Jurassic Park at the Lincoln Center IMAX in the city last weekend and stopped at Magnolia Bakery for a treat. We went to get banana pudding (It's AMAZING!), but the apple pie caught Jeff's eye so we had to get one of those too.

It was good. Not the best apple pie I have ever had, but good :)

Food Photography: Week 12 - Key Lime Pie

A few weeks ago we had Brandy and Marne come over for dinner. Brandy and Marne are one of my favorite couples and I'm always happy to have them over for dinner.

We made homemade ravioli. I really wish I would have taken some pictures since it was quite the process! :( Maybe next time. Marne's mom sent a Key Lime Pie for dessert. It looked so pretty I went all paparazzi on it! It was absolutely delicious!

Thanks Sister Spalding!

Food Photography: Week 11 - Hummas

I'm behind...I'm behind....I'm so behind! Sorry! I have a few post to share over the next week or two to help catch up. The past three weeks have been tough. I've been sick (you name it and I probably had it) and life has been very busy.

I'm really grateful that this weekend is General Conference! It's just such a relaxing and uplifting weekend.

Some of you may know that my second date with Jeff was watching the second Saturday session of Conference at his house. We ended up talking through most of the session and tuned in just in time for a talk by Elder Holland. I think it was on chastity. hahahaha. Funny.

I remember walking into the living room and finding a platter with veggies, bread and hummas on the coffee table. I didn't believe Jeff when he told me that he made the hummas. It was very good and I was so surprised! :)

Jeff made me humas again today! I hope we make it a tradition, because it's really good hummas :)

Happy Conference weekend everyone!

Food Photography: Week 10 - Mexican Food

I think I will have to put "Mexican Food" back in the pile since I kind of cheated. I really like to make the food I take pictures of, but due to the busyness of the past few weekends, I decided to just go to Chipotle and pick up a burrito and chips and salsa. I really love Chipotle! I usually get the tacos, but burrito was calling to me.

Does anyone have a favorite Mexican food recipe you think Jeff and I should try?

WE WON! YOU GO GIRLS!

The girls played again last Saturday and WON! We only had four girls for most of the game, but they were still able to pull it off! I was so proud of all four of the girls (Diana, Rachel, Desiree, and Emily)... especially Emily since she wasn't planning on playing this season, but totally stepped in so we could have four players and not have to forfeit the game! Sweet Mary came straight from softball practice and arrived with only 5 min left on the clock.  She was our fifth player for the last five minutes of the game and provided a little relief to the four very tired girls that had to play the whole game! It was epic!
