Weekend Via Pics

 I hope everyone had a great Easter Weekend!  Here is a recap of our weekend via pics. Happy Tuesday!! XoX

Captain Crazy at his finest (Orange Juice Mustache and all).

See below the post for this French Toast recipe 

I had to fill his eggs with Cheerios and Goldfish Crackers since he can't eat Candy yet ;)

My husband really does exist.  Meet JDubs.

French Toast:

Ingredients:

6 Slices of Thick Bread (Texas Toast works awesome)

2/3 Cup Milk

2 Eggs

1 tsp Vanilla

1/2 tsp Cinnamon

1/4 tsp Nutmeg

Directions:

Heat Griddle Pan on Medium Heat and coat with a non-stick cooking spray.  Whisk the Milk, Eggs, Vanilla, Cinnamon, and Nutmeg well in a bowl.  Dip each slice of bread (both sides) into the Egg mixture and place on Griddle pan. Cook each side till golden brown and top with berries and Powder Sugar or Syrup.  Sooo easy and delicious (my husband can even make it)!  Enjoy!

Photography

In my last post I mentioned that I did a photo shoot for my BFF and her man for their upcoming nuptials.  They are so natural and in love, that it was easy to capture the moment.  I love Photography and wish I could do it full-time...one day it will happen, when my babies are older and I can devote my time and passion into my hobby.  Enjoy your Tuesday everyone! Xo

Some of my favorites from the shoot:

The bench with their initials ;)

I think this is my fav, they are so effortless and happy

Such a beautiful couple

I loved this wall (I want it in my house)

She is so stunning (inside and out), a true genuine soul.

This guy (Mr. Delicious) tagged along to the photo shoot, so naturally I had to take his pic.

Me and the bride to be.

Messy

Life gets messy. In the literal and non-literal sense of the word.  Today I am speaking (err, typing) about a literal, daily mess in the life of a mom (me).

* Exhibit A: the infant turned toddler turned self feeder.

Got Milk?

Captain Crazy and those eyes.....

The end.

P.S.  These pictures were taken during a "snack time", you don't even want to know what it looks like after a full meal (especially the ones involving noodles and sauces). Have you tried cleaning up wet, soggy noodles?  I am not a fan.

The good, the bad, & food

Ok, remember my last post about Capt. Crazy being sick and missing out on my little weekend away with the baby daddy(hubby)?  Well last minute on Friday night, we decided that since the Capt. was on the mend from the antibiotics, we should at least go away for a night (I mean who wants to waist free flights?), certainly not this girl! So Saturday morning off we went to San Diego to visit the spot we got married, on the Beach on Coronado Island. We had such a fun time the two days we were there, but it is always nice coming back to our humble abode.

The Good: Having alone time with my love where we got married, sleeping in, staying up {too} late, shopping, and exploring (my favorite).  Seriously, sometimes I feel like a girl version of Huckleberry Finn. You know, a female explorer ; clad with a very cool fedora, notebook in hand, fabulous gladiator sandals and a pink beach cruiser to get around on. I would explore outdoors all day if I was allowed the leisure and time.  I think that is why I love having two boys so much, sometimes we go on "nature walks" for hours and just see what treasures await us!

The Bad: Being away from Capt. Crazy & Mr. Delicious.  It is always hard for me to leave them, and I always cry {at least once} while I am away, but nevertheless it is amazing coming home refreshed and ready to see those sweet, chubby faces.

The Food: What post would be complete without food?!  Oh my gosh did I EAT or did I EAT?! Yes I did...all weekend long and I LOVED every minute of it with no regrets.  Let me put it this way, I gained 3 pounds in one weekend, Bam.
