Valentine's Pizza

A few weeks ago we got this pizza stone kit at Costco and I had been wanting to make homemade pizzas. Our neighbor J makes great pizzas (and always invites us over) so I asked him for his recipe...and his mixer! This morning at 10 am I made the dough for the pizza crust...it has to rise for about 5-6 hours. At 5pm we started making pizza.... I had a little trouble rolling out the first of the four pizza crusts....I had to call J for some help (they were invited to come over and eat with us, of course)...they weren't perfect circles but it's okay...they all tasted great. I was VERY tempted to try to make a heart shaped pizza, but since it was my first time, I decided I better just stick to round...or something similar to that anyway. Here are the four uncooked pizzas...Cheese, 1/2 Pepperoni 1/2 Cheese, Pepperoni and Jalapeno and BBQ chicken pizza...


the first pizza going in the oven...This one is BBQ Chicken...YUMMY!!!


It really wasn't that hard...and it was alot of fun! I will definitely be making homemade pizzas again!

little copycat

Thank goodness no one was really hurt...but in my 5 years as a mom, the funniest thing happened this morning! I am still laughing about it! Let me first say that Talan is such a little copy cat and he does EVERYTHING that his big brother does....and I mean EVERYTHING!!! So we had just finished breakfast and Javi and I were in the kitchen cleaning up....when Trey came in and said to me, "Mom I am bleeding" (his chin was bleeding) he wasn't crying at all (which I knew right away that something was suspicious and he was probably doing something he shouldn't have been doing) we asked him how it happened and with a kinda scared face he kept saying "I don't know". When I looked closely at it, I say 2 rows of very thin cuts and right away I thought he was playing with a razor....then I kinda laughed and thought "he was trying to shave!" So we were walking to the bathroom to clean Trey's chin up and Talan comes walking toward us with the razor in his hand! (Let me take you back a year or so...my mom was here visiting and she called me from the airport when she left to tell me that she had forgotten her razor in the shower and I should get it right away bc she didn't the boys to get it...I did take it out of the shower but I put it in one of the drawers in their bathroom. Remember, Trey never gets into things and since it was a while ago, I had forgotten that it was in there. I am willing to put money on it that Talan is the one who found it!) Anyway, while we were cleaning up Trey's chin, Javi looks over and sees a big drip of blood coming from Talan's chin! THEY BOTH TRIED TO SHAVE!!!! So now I had to clean up Talan's cuts (which were a little bit deeper) and put a band aid on his chin!
Thank goodness they are both okay, it could have been much worse! But I just keep laughing at the fact that Trey was secretly trying to shave and his copycat brother did the exact same thing! You could tell that Trey thought he was gonna get in so much trouble...I just kept laughing and the first thing I thought was to take pictures so I could blog about it!

Show me your FACE!!!

Just like when Trey was about 2...when say to Talan, "Let me see your face" this is what you get...

He's learning his body parts and he can point to them when you ask....but he's a little confused sometimes because tonight we asked him to see his eyes and he pointed to...


his head...oops!


When you ask to see his tongue...he's got it down...just don't ask when he has a mouthful of Doritos.

He's so adorable! I just LOVE my handsome boys!!!
