Our Little Gremlin

Peekaboo!

 We took his wheel and tubes out to clean them and he was seriously going nuts.  He had nowhere to hide and nothing to do, so he started climbing up his cage!

 Such a bad little hedgehog!

 He looks like a gremlin here. And it's not cute.

DIY Haircut!

Well I did it - I successfully cut my own hair!  With a couple youtube tutorials and Thomas' help, I am pretty happy with it and it didn't cost a thing! 

It was getting really straggly so I took off a couple inches and put a little bit of layers in as well.  I'm for sure not any pro but I'm happy with how it turned out and it feels great to have those split ends GONE! 

Black & White Chocolate Cupcakes

I found these eggs in the fridge marked by none other then my cute husband. 

 So I made cupcakes!

 And then brought them to work the next day so we didn't gain 20 lbs having them all to ourselves!

 They are seriously GOOD.  Thick, moist, rich chocolately goodness with white chocolate frosting - that's right folks, there is real white chocolate chips in the frosting! Mmmm

 I can't really brag too much because I owe this kitchen concoction brilliance to this lady: http://magazine.byu.edu/?act=view&a=3035 (scroll to bottom for recipe).   

Now go make them, eat them, and don't forget to share them!!

JONES...need I say anything more?

The Crepe Co.

Thomas and I had a nice little date last week and went to eat at the "Crepe Co," saw the new Iron Man, and had a nice walk.  It was a fun evening! 

The "Southwest Chipotle" Crepe

Italian Sodas: they used sprite as the base and it was YUMMY!

"French Kiss"

"Strawberries n' Creme"

And then the next day I re-created the "French Kiss" crepe and threw together a few other combos.  Can't go wrong with crepes!

Oreo n' Creme Crepes

"French Kiss" (but we call it Dark Passion) crepes. It has bananas, Oreo's, creme,& nutella!

A Weekend In Zion's

Last weekend Thomas and I took a last minute trip to Zion's National Park.  Just 4 hours away and you get to this amazing outdoor playground.  We spent an afternoon exploring the park ourselves, and then met up with friends Stacy and Zach the next day to do an 8 repel canyon: Behunin.  It was a tiring weekend, but well worth it and tons of fun!!  

My handsome man!

That's Thomas all the way up at the top!

The last repel was a little scary...

Our scrumptious 10:00pm dinner after a looong day!

In the Kitchen

A couple weekends ago when I was home, I made crepes for breakfast for my family.  I told my mom how much I loved the pan she had, and that next week, she had ordered one for me!  Such a nice surprise - thanks Mom for the beautiful pan! I've already broken it in making crepes, and potato latkes...mmmm
