okay, so until i have my own children i will continue to take 10 bazillion photos of my nieces & nephews. i'm just praying that i have little model babies someday because whether they like it or not, i will most likely take 100 photos of them all day every day. i'm sorry future babies.... that won't happen for another few-some years so maybe i'll get worn out, but i doubt it.

anyways, to get back to the point, my grandma has a grapefruit tree with tons and tons of grapefruit. i think she gave us 20 lbs. of grapefruit and what did i do with them?!? take pictures of course! so here are the pretty yellow grapefruit with pretty savi in her yellow dress, made by my talented sister. savi likes to call it her "Belle" dress from Beauty & The Beast, sometimes the only way to get her in a dress is to tell her she looks like a princess!
so here is little baby savi all grown up, i like to think she's my baby because i feel like we have so much in common. we both have crazy curly knotted hair, we both do the crazy-jumping dance when we're excited, and hey we just like to be with each other!!!
love you Savi girl!!






Morning Time

2.01.2011

this morning we had juicy grapefruit and steel cut oats [oatmeal].
i had only tried grapefruit once when i was a kid and at that instance
made up my mind that i don't like it! too sour, too tart!
well half of landon's heart is made up of grapefruit and
he eats it like an art! it's his absolutely favorite so
what kind of wife would i be if i didn't give it another try?
well i had one this morning and loved it! so perfect and i'm craving
another one but i want to save it and not eat them all in one day! :)



and about those steel-cut oats...
my mother always made this for breakfast and it's one of my favorite
breakfasts to keep me warm [it was -10 this morning! yikes!]
steel-cut oats take a bit longer to make [30 minutes] but are healthier because they
are unrefined and have not been precooked. they are more of the
natural grain of oats, and much better in my opinion!

this week's menu consists of:
tonight: salmon, long-grain brown rice, & roasted veggies
wednesday: butternut squash risotto
thursday: meatloaf & mashed parmesan red potatoes
friday: homemade lasagna
saturaday: homemade PIZZA night!
sunday: fettuccine asparagus/bacon/mushrooms/tomatoes pasta
