The Girls!

I haven't posted anything in a few days because I've been so busy! I'm starting to plan our wedding and whatnot so I get so caught up in all that and forget what I mean to do :PP.
Rileybear and I don't have a whole bunch of pictures together so I decided we should take some today so here is one of them!!

Enjoy!! I will try to post some more here soon.
Until then!!

Lazy Tuesdays

Hey everyone!! I hope everyone is having a good Tuesday =]] One of my readers from TheHinkyMeter shared a yummy sounding recipe with me the other day so I want to share it with you all!! I haven't had the chance to make it yet because I am trying to lose weight, hahaha, but it sounds devine!!

Tiramisu Cheesecake

• 1 12 oz. package ladyfingers
• 4 Tbsp Butter, melted
• 6 Tbsp (or 9) coffee liquer (I like to throw a little Gran Marnier in there too for good measure)
• 3- 8 oz packages cream cheese
• 1- 8 oz container marscapone cheese
• 1 c. white sugar
• 2 eggs
• 4 Tbsp flour
• 1 oz semi sweet chocolate

1. Place a pan of water at the bottom of the oven. Preheat to 350.
2. Crush ladyfingers to crumbs, mix butter into said crumbs. Add 2 Tbsp liquer, press into pan.
3. Mix cheese and sugar until very smooth, add balance of liquer. Add eggs and flour, mix slowly until smooth. (if it's too thick [you should really add more liquer], add a little cream until desired consistency.
4. Pour into pan, place on middle rach of oven, bake 40-45 minutes. Open oven door, kill the heat and let stand for 20 minutes. let cool, refrigerate.
5. Use chocolate as a garnish, either by shaving and sprinkling, or melting and drizzling.

MMMMMmmmm, can't wait.

So, I can already tell that my search for a formal dress is going to be stressful. I've got to find one before Thursday of next week, blerg. Hopefully this weekend, or even before, I can go check out some stores at least. I can't wait to dress up all fancy though, I want Hubsie to think I am soooo beautiful =]]. Maybe I will post of pictures of possible dresses a little later. We will see. Well, I am off for now! Enjoy the recipe!!
Until next time!!

Back to The Norm!!

Hey there! Hope everyone had a wonderful Easter weekend! The weather here was very icky but we needed it! It's still super gross outside but it's nice to have humidity for a change =]]. Riley had a good Easter =]] she couldn't exactly go hunting for eggs cause she's not big enough, but her cousin Annika took her around with her. I'll share a few pictures with you guys =]]

It was a successful first Easter for miss Rileybear =]].
So this past week's voting for the Parent Magazine's Cover Contest is over. It was a tough week, Riley was 1st a couple of days and 2nd some, 3rd others, back to 1st and then she landed in 3rd for the end of the week. So sad!! But no worries, she is always #1!! No matter what anyone thinks =]]. I'm not sure if we are going to enter her again or not but I will be sure to post the link and whatnot if we do.

So, Hubsie is almost done with his month long class and I am so excited for life to get back to normal =]]. His graduation is next week and that will be our first really formal event together, it's exciting! I can't wait to dress up and feel all beautiful. I guess I had better find a dress first though, hehe. I think I will go this weekend and try to find one. I'm thinking I will try Dillard's, they seem to have some nice formal stuff.

Well I think I am off for now, I will post more later!! I hope everyone has a wonderful day =]]
Until then!!

Easter is Coming!!

Good morning everyone! Happy Thursday! Easter is coming and I am sooooo excited! I can't decide what dress Rileybear should wear, she has so many to choose from! Maybe we will do dress up today and I will take some pictures =]]. Oh, speaking of Easter!! One of my friends at TheHinkyMeter shared a video they made of Rileybear! It is sooooo cute lol.



Well I hope you all enjoy! I will probably blog again later one! Don't forget to vote for the beautiful miss Riley again today!! Early this morning she dropped from 1st place down to 2nd place so we have to stay on top of it! She's back to first place right now but we can't let that happen again!!

Until next time!!

Happy Hump Day!

Heya everyone! Hope everyone is having a wonderful Wednesday! Halfway through this week, hopefully that makes everyone happy :PP. Rileybear is up to 1st place today!!!!!! Thanks to everyone for voting daily for the beautiful little Riley, aka Leelu! A special thanks to everyone at TheHinkMeter for their support!! Don't forget to vote again today so she can stay in first! We have 'till Sunday, April 24th, to keep her there. I'm sure we can do it =]].

So, Hubsie is currently in a month long leadership class and we are officially over the halfway mark! Thank goodness! I hate that he has to deal with so much stress on a daily basis right now.
This weekend is Easter! Yay! Rileybear's first Easter! Even though she can't walk, or even crawl, it's going to be fun watching her pick up the eggs :PP. Not sure if there are going to be a lot of kids in the family there to do the easter egg hunt, but either way at least I can get some good pictures!! I'm really wanting to get back into taking more pictures so this will be a good headstart. It's sad that Hubsie won't be able to be there for her first Easter,  I will have to get her grandma to help her with the eggs so I can capture every moment I can =]] **cough cough** lol.
Rileybear wanted to say Hi =]]

Enjoy!! I've decided I really need to go get my eyes checked, sigh. I took probably 50-60 pictures and these are of the few that aren't blurry as heck. But I tell you what, I am the luckiest mom in the world to have such an angel to spend my days with =]].
Until next time!!
