Pumpkin hocho!!!

Just enjoying a nice cup of pumpkin spice hot chocolate with my hubby.

Royal India

The husband and I went to royal India on Friday night. There are a couple Indian restaurants in bountiful that spencer has been wanting to try. We finally went. The restaurant seemed run down, small and dark. I was very skeptical. We got some onion rings, chicken and rice and garlic naan. The onion rings were a little bit different than what we are used to, but that was a given. Ok ok I will admit, it was pretty good. Nice pick hubby!

Microwave Carmel

What did I tell yuh? Im so addicted to pinterest. All the treats look so good I can't resist trying them. I know it's not the holiday season but I couldn't control myself. I had to make these yummy six minute microwave Carmels. They turned out very well.

Friday night pizza!!

So last night I was trying to think of something we could have for dinner tonight. Trying to think of everything we had in the fridge, i realized we had leftover spaghetti sauce and frozen rhoades rolls. We made our own pizza tonight! So much fun to do with the husband! Yummy. Happy Friday!

Green goodness!

Late night green smoothie just hits the spot. Makes the ice cream craving go away. Mango, pineapple, papaya, banana, yogurt and spinach! Mm mm good! Really tastes like ice cream!!

Bread

Nothing like homemade zucchini bread during the summer. Mmmm!

Pumpkin Pancakes

I now think that I'm obsessed with pinterest. I can't stop trying different treats/meals and snacks. Our latest creation? Pumpkin pancakes from scratch. Pumpkin, cinnamon and brown sugar... All the great flavors of fall! Mmmmm!

Banking... Need I say more?

This picture really says it all about what it's like being a teller.

Marshmallows!

On pinterest I read that you can make homemade marshmallows! What?! I just knew I had to try out this recipe. Spencer and I gathered our supplies and tested it out. At first I was a little bit skeptical but as you can see they turned out wonderful. The best part is that they taste even better than Jet Puffed. Never going back to those again.

Ten Favorite Things About Spencer

1- All the work that he puts into our family. It isn't fun to go to work all day and then come home and do homework. Spencer is a trooper and never ever complains. He does such a wonderful job to provide a great future for our family. I am quite thankful for someone who works so hard. 

2- He never stops trying. Life is hard and stressful but it never gets to Spencer. He is always trying to be better and better.  He never gives up.

3- His smile. Spencer is one handsome man, but when he smiles, it is enough to knock me off my feet.

4- He treats me like a princess. I can't count how many times he tells me he loves me or how beautiful I am in a day.

5- He is so smart! He teaches me new things every day. Where does he learn these things? I guess he was just born with it.

6- The way he looks at me. He really loves me. He gets a little smile when he stares at me and that just makes my heart skip a beat!

7- When he comes home from work, he picks me up and holds me for a long time. My favorite place to be is right in his arms. I'm so lucky to have this guy!


8- Sometimes i'm clumsy and I spill, break and drop everything. Spencer is so patient with me. I don't know how he does it, but he does. He doesn't ever get mad and just learns to laugh along with me. 


9- He always makes me feel better. Whether it was a long day at work or I don't feel good or I just need a hug, Spencer is really good at kissing me and hugging me. He holds me until i'm laughing and smiling again. I can't stay sad for long when i'm around Spencer.


10- He is amazing. I am so glad that I get to be with Spencer forever. He is my best friend and my favorite person in the whole wide world. 

Batter Up!

This last Friday, Spencer and I went to a Bees baseball game. Spencer has been wanting to go for a very long time. He was so excited. He put on his baseball hat and shirt and off we went. He taught me a lot about the ins and outs of baseball. He even got a hot dog. I thought the game got boring rather fast.  The best part? Getting Coldstone after the game. What a great date night!

We have gotten so many gift cards from our wedding! People are so nice and generous. Thanks everybody! Anyway, ever since we got married, we have slowly been using them and buying things that we need. We are finally at a point that I think we have what we need for now.
I have been wanting a nice camera to play with and document our married life for our kids. I have been eyeing the same Canon camera for a while. I did lots of research and came to the conclusion that that is the one I want. My sweetie pie let me buy a camera with the rest of our target gift cards. We have fallen in love with it and take it every where we go. It takes awesome pics and we are learning how to use all the buttons and features. What a great investment!

An Exciting Day!

Ever since we got our Kia Soul, Spencer has been checking the mailbox for his license plates to come. He was so worried that the numbers would be totally lame. Everyday he checked the mailbox, nothing came. Today after I got off of work, I called Spencer. He told me that he was already home from work and that he was just going to walk out to the mailbox. Spencer paused on the phone and then finally told me the good news. His plates had come!! I wouldn't let him open up the envelope until I got home. This smile says it all.

Making Cookies on a Sunday

Today was a good Sunday. We got a calling in the ward. We now teach primary! The sunbeams to be exact. Spencer and I are super excited about it. But also very worried that along with the calling will be poopy diapers. After church today, we made sugar cookies!! Mmmmm!!!

Peanut butter jelly time!

My hubby is obsessed with peanut butter. One time when watching the food network, Alton Brown made some peanut butter. Thanks to spencer, I have never forgotten how cool that recipe is and how badly we needed to try it. Spencer also thought it would make the best neighbor gifts. Months had gone by and we still hadn't made any. But finally, we made some! We went to the store and got some peanuts and other ingredients. Spencer couldn't wait to get home, he was smiling the whole way. Spencer ran inside and started washing his peanuts. He washed, dried and salted them. Then he evenly spread them on a cookie sheet and roasted them. We sat down in front of the tv and peeled off all the shells of the newly roasted peanuts. After that was done, we put them in a food processor along with salt and honey. The peanuts in the processor looked thick and clumpy. I was worried that our peanut butter wouldn't work out. Spencer would be heart broken! But sure enough after a couple minutes, it started to look like peanut butter. The hubby made a peanut butter and jelly sandwich on the spot. He is so proud! Hey neighbors, watch out! Christmas peanut butter coming your way!

When we moved into Grandma and Grandpa's house, I realized that we didn't have a table. Of course, I being a girl really wanted one. Spencer couldn't have cared less. He wanted to spend that money on something way more cool than a table. So one Saturday, we went down to Draper to see my family. It really was just a good excuse to get Spencer to take me to Ikea. I picked out a cute little table that would be perfect for us! Spencer was making me second guess myself though. He said we didn't need a table. Who doesn't need a table? Anyway, long story short, we bought a table and four chairs for $300. Good job Ikea! We loaded all the boxes into the little Mazda and home we went. I was so excited to set up the table! Spencer was a good sport and did it all. I was just his assistant. Look at how cute it turned out!
