Sweets for the Sweet

I had a very yummy Valentines Day...


We went into town to get Brian some new suits and we took a little detour to a bakery that specializes in cupcakes. They had eight different flavors out for Valentines Day, and with their cute little size I was able to try all eight. Not all at once, but one here and there... it was great. :) I obviously couldn't wait to take a picture until we had all had one. Missing are all of the chocolate ones and some red velvet. I highly recommend the toasted coconut one. It tastes like a macaroon with cream cheese frosting. Heaven.

After our return from town we fed the kids some very romantic Hamburger Helper (Jillise and Jaren ate only the noodles, Joelle ate only the meat. Reminds me of Jack Sprat and his wife), we got them bathed and put them to bed. Brian and I enjoyed some New York Strip steaks, potato skins, corn, french bread, and Martinellis. Then strawberry cheese cake and chocolate mousse cake for dessert. Gotta love the Safeway bakery department where I can just get one slice of each. Then we watched No Reservations and called it a night!

I fully intended to make candy for Valentines Day. But with all of the Valentines Day projects, travelling to town the past two Saturdays, and driving 1 1/2 and 2 hours respectively the past two Sundays for ward conferences, it didn't happen. Maybe for St. Patty's day.

And finally, since we are talking about sweets, does this handsome fella not give you a toothache?

Grandma weighs in. Jaren is VERY sweet, can't say I'm a fan of the Mohawk........

Oh I love the sweater vest and the hair! I can't wait to have a little man, only 14 days to go (hopefully sooner)

I LOVE cupcakes. There is something about a little cake all to yourself that is very satisfying. Especially when they are "designer"! Jaren is so stinkin' cute!
