BIG BROWN EYES
I thought I would always marry a man with blue eyes, but then I met him and fell in love with BROWN EYES. Now I have tow girls with their Daddy’s eyes. One with deep brown, the other with green brown. I could look into them for hours! (:
My niece had heart surgery this week at Primary Children’s Medical Center. It brought back a lot of memories and a whole bunch of emotions. First off I am so thankful that things went well for sweet Brynn. She still has weeks of recovery, but I know she is in good hands. I am thankful to have PCMC as an amazing hospital in our state. The work that goes on there is incredible, not only by fabulous physicians and nurses, but by all the staff. It was truly an honor to work there. Everyone has an amazing heart and there is an amazing spirit there. I miss the experiences I had there and hope to go back one day! As for now I will visit Brynn and hope for a quick recovery!
I love being creative with food. Though I REALLY need lessons I still enjoy doing it. My belly isn’t really thankful for it though. It is a good thing there aren’t any birthdays in the near future. We’ll see what I do for Valentines.
Here’s a look at my recent creations.

I am hoping to post something I love for each day in the month of February. An ode to so many wonderful things I love about life and the blessings I have.
#1- The Sun- I have always been in awe of sunsets and sunrises. They can be so peaceful and breathtaking! So, take a minute to enjoy the sunset (or sunrise) before the moment is gone, you’ll never see they same one again!

Well Utah has welcomed us back very gently this winter. I whined on Facebook the first day it snowed and was cold, I wanted to go back to sunny California. However, that quickly changed as December was mostly dry and now it is the end of January and we are {mostly} dry.
I took some photos last week on Monday when it was snowing and absolutely beautiful out. I didn’t have to go anywhere and I loved watching it snow. The next day it warmed up and it has been beautiful ever since. I had the camera in the car and couldn’t stop taking photos, though I was driving so I did! I love the little layer of snow on the ground and the snow frosted mountains. All weekend I have been looking out our windows right at the blue sky and beautiful mountains. It was gorgeous.
I especially love NOT having to drive in it! I am a nervous nelly now that we have been in 2 accidents because of snow and black ice. We even got new awesome tires on the Pathfinder to ease our shakiness… haven’t needed them. Though there is one downside to that lack of snow, we have some ski passes we need to use so I would like more snow in the Weber Mountains!
Monday…
Tuesday… (BTW, I love this little country road I drive down almost every day. It make me feel for a moment as if I live in a little town. There are even Peacocks, horses, and ducks to the right.
I took the previous photo to show this road to Dave, I am so glad we don’t have to drive up or down this road when it is snowing! (I just happened upon it one day). I love the way the snow sticks to the branches, it is so pretty!
I used to take a LOT of photos of nature, particularly sunsets. This post reminds me I need to do more. SO GORGEOUS!!
