This is one of those recipes I knew I had to recreate and share with you!
A fabulous, easy, impressive appetizer that is so good. We had this over the weekend in Big Sky. Mom and Dad, imagine this with your gulf shrimp!!!!
Shrimp Crostini
Garlic, butter, shrimp, Arugula, cherry tomatoes, shaved fennel....I didn't ask how they prepared, but I'm imagining it's as simple as this....
Sauté lots of garlic in butter, add fennel and halfed tomatoes. Then add shrimp and cook just until pink. Remove from pan, toss with fresh Arugula, S&P.
Pour a glass of wine or sparkling water and enjoy!!!!
Maybe throw some summer vegetables in the oven and serve over salad with chevre cheese and make it a meal!
Easy Peasy!! What Summer is ALL about.

The Beauty of Summertime!
Hello there!! It's been a while! We've been busy as usual with Springtime activities. I'm hoping to get back to blogging regularly...we'll see! We are loving the fresh warm air here and getting outside. What a great school year it has been for the twins!! They had a wonderful year at St. Anthony's and now they are big kindergarteners! They could not be more proud and excited to go to Kindergarten, and that makes us feel so good! They love school and that's how it should be!
Because our winters are SO long here, come Spring, I am just ready for color! So I spruced up our kitchen with some Fun! Recovered my chairs and some spring curtains! I think they go perfect for our kitchen.
We are looking forward to more swim lessons, lots of outside days, gardening, lemonade making, getting messy, and just enjoying each day together!
Come on in! Have a seat! I'll make you some sweet tea ;)
THey are cream and go so pretty with the cream walls, but break them up just right.
Our waterfall on the mountain is flowing so strong this time of year.
Inspiring, natural beauty is all around!
Cute shop in Bozeman, Montana, brimming with darling Spring beauties! HeyDay. Such sweet gals work in there! We first came to Bozeman last year and fell in love with this town. Super cool college town with boutiques, coffee shops, Indie record shops, Mediterranian restaurants everywhere, and Nitro Breweries on every corner for Josh. It's about 5 1/2 hours from our house, but we like to stay here when we go to Yellowstone because it's only an hour from the entrance. Neat, neat town.
And one windy, sunny day that I couldnt resist seeing my summer beauties enjoy the park..

Mothers Day wknd!
We had a great weekend! We can finally get outside and enjoy the warm winds of spring!
Saturday was Isabel's recital! She was a little nervous upon arriving and seeing everyone in costume, but left her nerves aside and did beautifully on the stage! It was a great year at ballet and she really loves having her friends in her class.
That night, we headed out to the Holman house, way out on the prairie!! Can't say enough about this fun family. I am trying to get Cathy to start a blog!! Oh the stories she could tell. They're awesome and we had a blast riding all sorts of toys and running around!
I awoke Sunday to the smell of bacon and fresh squeezed juice!! My husband is a whiz at makin some crispy bacon. We relaxed all day and went fishing that afternoon!!!! It was awesome!
Our Music Box Dancer getting ready back stage...
Her sweet class....
Daddy's girl!
Enough of this ballet.....let's get on to the boy toys!!!!!!!!
Mr. Dan and Isabel!
Toby the cat.
Josh on baby duty :)
Isabel and Gillian ..sweet friends on the Prairie!
A sweet bright early morning, Mother's day breakfast!
Josh brought me the most beautiful bouquet of flowers from COSTCO!! Have you ever bought flowers from them? THey were so full AND had tons of Rosemary and different herbs. I couldnt believe they were from there.

2 days before the twins arrived....
I am so thankful my Dad took this picture....to remind me what it felt like to hold two precious lives inside of me...
Be encouraged!
Lord fill my heart with Yours
that I may know Your will,
those things that I should act upon
and when you want me still.
Guard my mind from useless thoughts
that clutter, harm, confuse.
Create in me a closeness
that Your course I'll always choose.
Clear my hearing, teach me
to identify the lies,
that I may only hear the truth
of who I am in Christ.
Lord, satisfy and fill me
with Your Spirit from above,
that I may truly know the freedom
of Unfailing Love.
Then planted deeply in that love,
my heart in full surrender,
Lift the veil for all to see,
my life display Your splendor.
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
I BELIEVE......
You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore. Psalm 16:11
