Madeleine

My whole family enjoys eating Madeleines. Are they a cookie...Are they a cake? I've often wanted to try making these little delights. However you need a special pan and that just made Madeleine seem complicated to me. I took my first step in mastering a cakey and tender Madeleine by buying the pan.

My partner in crime.

and he shall call her Cupcake...

Since D hasn't started going to school full time we spend a lot of time together. I am always trying to think of ways to fill our day. When we went to Clay and Play I made the decision to let him have total creative control. Whatever colors he wanted or if it is a little sloppy I would stay out of it and just let him do his thing. It was hard to keep my mouth shut but the end result is total D art work.

We had a lot of fun and he was so proud of his work.

He named her Cupcake. She kind of has a Dr. Suess look to her.

Grey Gloves

I bought these fingerless gloves from etsy.com. I thought San Jose would be a nice weather change from San Diego. However it was beautiful and sunny the whole time we were there, so I didn't get to wear my gloves.

I wanted to share a fun website that is giving FREE quilt classes. If your like me quilts seem a little intimidating. I've never made a quilt before but I would really like to try. You learn 2 new squares a month and by the end of the year you have a throw quilt.

San Jose Wedding

Saint Joseph Cathedral

It was a beautiful wedding!

San Jose

Tree Socks

This was my 2nd time going to San Jose. We were in San Jose 9 years ago for a wedding as well. I was a little disappointed with Downtown. I was hoping to find some cool shops near our hotel and I didn't see 1.

Road trip to San Fran

We took the 101 up the coast. It was a beautiful drive but long!

We knew we made it to San Francisco when we hit fog. We were only in San Francisco for 1 night.

Getting all mushy...

Like an old married couple...separate beds. They didn't have any Kings.

This weekend the Hubby and I are going to a wedding in San Jose. He is in the wedding party. I am so excited to see him in a tuxedo. We left the boys with my Mother in Law, who is a living Saint! We get 4 days without the boys. It is very strange and silent. I packed 2 books...that's how quiet it is. When we got to our room I flipped on the TV to do some channel surfing. On Cartoon network there was a LEGO movie on and I started watching it. Eek I had to remind myself I could watch something grown up.

We checked in at the hotel and my Hubby said he was going to be right back. I wasn't sure where he was going but he came back with my ALL time favorite drink a Toffee Nut Latte in Venti. It was so sweet of him. I didn't have the heart to tell him I am trying to kick my coffee habit and haven't had coffee in a week. So I am back on the coffee.
