So on Friday, Troy decided to treat me to a little date night. Which was super nice of him because we really haven't had a good date night in a while. We always are so busy doing something or too tired to go out and do something. And with me being pregnant, I a lot of the times, don't feel like going out.
But that night I was feeling adventerous! It all started off with me making a nice little dinner. We have been trying to do better and watching what we eat and me making more homemade meals so we don't spend money on fast food and spend it on paying bills or saving it. I think we have been doing a pretty good job.
So on Friday I made what's called Cool Vegetable Pizza.
It's a recipe that you find in those children's cook books to help them learn how to cook and teach them how to cook good healthy meals. Here's the recipe if anyone is interested.
1 can crescent rolls (I used 2 cans)
2 (8oz) pkgs. cream cheese, softenend (I only used one, more healthy and get the same taste)
1-1/2 Tbls. Miracle whip or mayonnaise
Small pkg. Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing
Salt and Pepper to taste
Substitute pasta sauce for cream cheese mixture.
Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. Coat a 12" stone or pizza pan with nonstick vegetable cooking spray and sprinkle it evenly with 1 tblsp. yellow cornmeal. Spread dough on stone or cookie sheet. Bake 10-12 minutes until lightly browned. Cool completely. Blend above ingredients and spread on cooled crust.
Top with finely chopped vegetables.
Suggestions:
Celery, Broccoli
Zucchini, Green Onions
Mushrooms, Tomatoes, seeded
Red Peppers, Cucumbers, seeded
Green Peppers, Carrots
Sprinkle over cheese mixtures. Refrigerate to chill. Serve.
The finished product. It was bigger. I decided to take a picture after we had eaten half of it.
I was kind of skeptical if Troy would like it, cause it didn't have any meat, but he really enjoyed it! So I was pleased.
Afterwards, Troy suggested we go take a stroll on the Newport beach and pier. I was up for it, so we went. It was nice. Just the two of us enjoying each other's company and holding hands, laughing and talking. It was great! Reminded me of when we were dating. I love spending time with him like that.
After that, I wanted something sweet. So he was running ideas by me, and I thought we had settled on a $1 cone at McDonald's, but then he said he had a great idea, and proceeded to drive to Stater Brother's.
He got a cart and when we were inside, I asked him what great idea he was thinking of and he said, we are going to make our own Banana Splits! So lets get the ingrediants! So we got ice cream, nuts, banana's, chocolate syrup, strawberry syrup, cherries, whip cream (so much for being healthy right?), and a few other things to put in the mix. So we checked out and rushed home to make them. Troy of course took over and I just handed him things to put in. The end result?
Can you say YUM! So we sat down and ate it and tried to fight off the animals for it as well. The end result after that?
Yep! Ate the whole darn thing, except for that measly graham cracker. It was awesome!
We then just settled on the couch and watched a movie and snuggled. Overall, it was a great night with great food, desert and best of all, WONDERFUL company.
I am a very lucky girl.
are always hard to find. Especially modest ones. I will never feel comfortable in a bikini no matter how thin I am. I just feel way exposed. I guess that's just the private person in me.
HOWEVER! I just happened to come across this site (through facebook friends) and fell in love with the suits.
K Line.
They are made by a member of the church who I and Troy grew up with. The Pitt's are an amazing family and all so nice and creative. (kind of like the Johnson's lol).
Anyway, I thought the suits were way cute and I am planning on ordering this one:
after I have the baby and get down some sizes! It will be perfect for the summer activites. Cute eh?
So I have realized more and more with the upcoming birth of our little princess that I enjoy more and more the little things of life. I also love homemade things. I think they are the best. I think they bring a little bit more love and homeliness to the home and to the family. For example. I love these
I think they are beautiful. I plan on getting one after the baby is born and we have finally decided on a name for her. I will have all three of our names on it.
{You can find more designs and info here}
Along with the baby room being done {minus the curtains, which are going up today}, I have been debating on how to display here name for the room. Troy could really care less, he says all his work is done. But I love this idea (and only for $10 dollars) it's all homemade, what a deal!
And what's nice about these, are you can pick the color, and what decals you want on the letter as well. I think this would be a cute idea to hang on her door when you walk in.
{Again, you can see more designs and get more info here}
And last, but not least you have my wonderful, talented, beautiful, sister-in law Jylare {who has the cutest baby, by the way} who does homemade headbands. I mean these things are precious.
She has already given me a few for our baby girl and I can't wait to have her wear them.
{You can find all of her products, prices and info HERE.}
Trust me, you want to check them out.
I LOVE this movie.
I mean you really can't go wrong with this movie. It is that good.
And in other news. Troy and I have been talking and have decided that we aren't sure about the name Alexandra. Haha, how that can happen is beyond us. So we have been going over names again. It's amazing how you can go over a name again that you thought of in the beginning and love it all over again. So far we really like Monica and Kimberly. Troy fell in love with Kimberly, and I really like it too. But we have decided that her name is going to need to be prayed about and that we aren't going to reveal a single name anymore, until she is born. The middle name is going to stay the same no matter what. Who knows what the first name is going to be now. Good thing we didn't get too attached to Alexandra or that she is born. Then we might be in trouble.
this is the reason that I live.
without him I would be nothing.
soon, we will have out little girl with us.
and our love for each other will grow even stronger as we teach, watch and learn from our little darling.
how much better could life really get?
how is that possible that it is March already?
Good news? One more month til my baby girl is here.
That is something worth celebrating about.
So March, now that you are here....WELCOME and may your time go swiftly by.
WELCOME SPRING (almost)with all the cute things that come with it. 
I was kind of skeptical if Troy would like it, cause it didn't have any meat, but he really enjoyed it! So I was pleased.
Can you say YUM! So we sat down and ate it and tried to fight off the animals for it as well. The end result after that?
