The day of L-O-V-E, Valentine's Day
Thursday, February 18 | 2 Comments The day of love, was just that a day full of love and family.
We woke up to some fabulous easy cinnamon rolls made by the perfect mother, that would be me, and since I’m so wonderful I’ll even share the recipe with everyone, but I must thank my mother in law for this awesome recipe. (see below)
Then we headed to church and the message was awesome, I think it was prepared especially for me. It was about being fearless! I think my new favorite bible verse is Matthew 6:34 “Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.” This verse is so perfect for me, who worries about anything and everything!
After church we ate lunch fast and then headed out to play in the beautiful Arizona weather, I figure we better enjoy it while we can cause soon we are going to be melting. So we went to a huge open field and shot off Cooper’s rocket that he calls “The Metalizer” and flew Uncle Matt’s airplane and even wrecked Uncle Matt’s airplane. 3.2.1. blast off!!!!
Then it was time to head home and make din din! We had a fun steak dinner that was made at home with L-O-V-E! We had steak, salad, asparagus, noodles and I even made these really fun layered jello hearts (see recipes below). After dinner Colby made a fire in the backyard and let the kids make smores! It was so much fun. The kids were so excited, Brielle even pulled out the “this is the best day of my whole life” statement. I’ve never heard that before.
We had a sweet day filled with so much love. I’m so grateful for my family they are so wonderful and I love the heck out of each and every one of them! I couldn’t do life without them!
Easy Cinnamon Rolls
1 c. brown sugar
3/4 c. margarine
2 TBLS. cinnamon
Glub of Karo syrup
24 oz. bag frozen rolls, each roll cut into forths
Combine first four ingredients, heating until margarine melts. Cool a little before pouring over cut up rolls in well greased bundt pan. Let rise in oven all night if fixing for breakfast. Otherwise let rise until doubled in bulk‑‑about 3‑4 hours. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 25‑30 minutes. Let set five minutes before inverting pan. Can add pecans if desired. **I cut down on the margarine by 2 TBLS.
Eat Your Heart Out Jello
3 (3-ounces) packages of red flavored gelatin
1 (14-ounce) can of sweetened condensed milk
2 (1/4-ounce) envelops of unflavored gelatin
Dissolve one package of flavored gelatin in 3/4 cup boiling water. Add 3/4-cup cold water, then put the mixture into a 9X13 inch glass pan and refrigerate for 1 hour.
Stir together 1/2 cup boiling water and the condensed milk. In a separate bowl, dissolve all the unflavored gelatin in 1/2 cup cold water for 1 to 2 minutes. Thoroughly mix in 3/4 cup boiling water, then combine this mixture with the milk and let it cool. Add half the mixture to the pan of red gelatin, pouring it over a spatula to slow the stream, and refrigerate for 20 min.
Continue alternating layers- gelatin mix, the remaining milk mix, the final gelatin mix- chilling each for 20-30 minutes to set it. Create individual servings with a heart-shaped biscuit or cookie cutter.
