The Joys of having a Slow Cooker!!

So I was trying to think of what I was going to make for dinner one night and I came upon this recipe that looked really good and easy. I am all about easy.  Its called "Creamy Black Bean Burritos" but I also like to call it "It's so yummy I could die!" ha ha The nice thing about it is that you cook it in a slow cooker so you really don't have to do anything, and by the time you get home from work, errands or whatever dinner is already done. You guys should try it out and let me know what you think.

Things you will need....

War of the Buttons!

Last week Natalie and me had a girls night out! It was so much fun. We talked, laughed and made really cute button earrings. I got this idea from my really good friend Haley on her blog Life is Sweet! She is so creative and cute. I just loved this idea because I only own 1 pair of earrings, so we gave it a try. Haley made it look like a piece of cake, but I guess for people like me who have no creative bone in their body its a little more difficult. ha ha After lots of trial and error and not to mention lots of burnt fingers I finally got the hang of it and I just LOVE how they turned out. I went from having 1 pair of earrings to having 7 pair all while hanging out and having some great laughs. I wear them all the time and always get compliments. Thanks Haley. :)

 

 Crying over our burnt fingers!! ha ha We are such Babies. :)

So you think you can dance?

For my sisters birthday we all got together and had a Wii party. My mom bought this new game called Dance2 (if you have never played it I recommend that you do) it was so much fun. Even if you might not be the best dancer you can't help but get into all of the dances. I definitely got my groove on! ha ha  We even got my dad to play, and the best part is that I caught it on tape!! ha ha Every time I watch this video it puts a smile on my face, so I thought I would share it with all of you.:) My Mom and Dad would probably kill me if they new I was putting this up, but everyone deserves a good laugh once in awhile. Enjoy!!

Best Husband!!

My wonderful loving husband is so awesome! I love how he is always showing me how much he loves me even with the littlest things, and I love how he surprises me with flowers! Love you babe

They were so beautiful!!

We went to Salt Lake City so see the lights at Temple Square. It was so pretty and so much fun. A little cold but it was worth it. :)  I am not really good at taking pictures which makes me sad but I am getting better. I love capturing moments like this. I just sometimes forget I have a camera ha ha.
