Pho Dinner!

Hello Blog land, Have you ever heard of Pho ?

It was a mystery to me too, Until my husband came home and told me about this wonderful little Asian market He found.

Fresh veggies

Love the egg rolls

That's fresh mint and rice noodles

My kids loved it, they kept saying it was like they were in" Kung fu panda " hahah! 

 

We had mochi dessert , it's So good!

Strawberry filling

We had so much fun eating this meal, Great family time. We just laughed and tried new things together. loved it!

Men are like waffles and women are like spaghetti

So My church made this Hilarious video for a women's conference a few years ago. I thought I would share, That way you can laugh and get your daily core workout over with. hehehe!

This is my good friend Keri and Her hubby. They crack me up!

Spring window seal and lavender water

I heat lavender! My lavender bushes are in full bloom and they are breathtaking. So I decided to bring the spring inside.

 

I love soaking lavender in water for an hour or so. You can make your own lavender water ! Just make sure you clean the lavender when you bring it in, and don't use it if it has been sprayed with any kind of pesticides, and make sure there are no bugs on them. Then soak the leaves in some filtered water .

It's so refreshing! I'll have to do a tutorial on it.

This is just a random shot of a little nook in My kitchen, I'm pretty proud of it. 

It was a complete mess, before I clean it up.( I won't show you pictures because it's kinda embarrassing, lol! )

My aprons were thrown over the side of my fridge, my old broom was always falling down. 

 It's amazing what a new pretty broom and some $ store hooks can do.

I hated My old broom. This one is colorful and I feel pretty when I use it! 

I think you should  always try to surround your self with pretty things. I think it makes your day run better.

 Here's a picture Madie made when she was 5, I love That She made sure to add a Mr. Sun shine! I heard some where that if Kids draw a sun in their pictures, It means that they are in in a happy and healthy life style.

I don't think I'll ever take this off My fridge, not even after the girls are married and gone. Madison made it last year for fathers day and  I think It inspires their father and it's just precious!

Fun kiddy Lunch

Ever since Target sold those Adorable little birdie cafeteria style plates, I have been inspired to make lunch time fun! I make sure to fill every spot on the plate with something yummy and Healthy.

My Girls are vegetarian and I had ran out of veggie dog's that day ( Yeah I know they Don't look eatable, but my kids love them! hahaha! ) so I used what I had.

Pb & J  Banana Dog's!

 

They were Soooo Good! I had one too.

They can be messy, But so fun!

You could try to put the Pb & J into squirt bottles and make in look more like

" ketchup and mustard " that would be so cute. You might want to cut them in half for smaller hands , my two year old  

had a hard time holding it. 

They made a mess! but it was too much Fun!!!

They were so grateful, They kept saying " Thank you mommy, your the best mommy!" hahaha! 

It made my heart smile.

Mommies Night Out!

 About a year ago I started hanging out with some amazing girls from church. We are all married and mommies, so we get together once a month to just hang out, eat, and talk, talk, talk!!!

This was my month to host and I was thrilled because I love fall and that's just what the theme was!

So we started with the food!

Sweet potato and corn muffins

Hot cider 

Honey butter for the muffins

My favorite Baker Michelle over at My cupcakery made these amazing cheesecake caramel apples !

 I had the best time decorating for our mommy night, One of my friends said " I never knew people decorated for harvest..." LOL! That was shocking and hilarious! That made me happy though, at least I could change one life this fall... LOL!

Here are some little lanterns I made out of recycled jelly gars

More lanterns made out of coffee and tomato cans, I love the way they turned out!

We all ate, laugh, cried, and talked some more!

Yeah we're total Girls...lol!  

Ahhhhhh! Bad lighting, my bad, sorry girls!

So glad everyone made It!

Thanks to all the girls who came out and we missed the ones who couldn't be there!

Road Trip!

My wonderful friend Christina was asked to Speak at a youth conference in Visalia Ca last week. I was thrilled when she asked me to come because I would have hid in her car to get there anyways! It was only for one night but I didn't care, Do you think I would turn down a full nights sleep without  kids waking me up for the 100th time! Needless to say, I was so there!

I could not have been prouder of my friend, She has come a long way and God has blesses Her life. To see her share her amazing testimony with all those teens was, well you just had to be there! We had so much fun from the moment we set off.

  Perfect timing! 

We lived off of starbucks, hot cheetos, and red vines for the remained of the trip

We are so healthy!

The grape vine is so pretty...

I crashed when we got to the hotel...

On our way to the event!

There she is! All grown up and telling kids about Jesus!

 What can I say about this picture...

Okay it was a busy day, we were crazy tired, it was late and we were hungry ( have you ever noticed the  word hungry and angry are almost spelled the same way!) hahaha! I get a little grouchy when I'm hungry...

So yeah, Why not, why not look like dork's.

Anyhoo, I had such a great time! What could be better then one of my best friends and I ,in a car for 10 hours round trip! We had to have said at lease 100,000 words or more in conversation!
