Throw back Thursday: Baby Soleil

Soleil when she was 9 days old. Photographing a baby is super hard. Not my favorite. It took me a long time and few days to get some good shots. She is my last baby and so beautiful. You can check the other pics here: Soleil baby pictures.

Mabey's pumpkin trip in South Jordan

2 years ago we went to this really cute Pumpkin patch in South Jordan. We thought we would go back this year. They added a corn field and old truck to the patch. It is really beautiful. You have the mountains on one side and the LDS Temple on the other. Great background for pictures and the kids had a blast running around and dragging the wagon provided. Soso was sleeping most of the time but she got to play too.

Check out the address and opening hours!

Our Halloween day

Hope you had fun yesterday, our day started with the parade at school

My boy wore his Football uniform

My girl wanted to be a ninja. I managed to color her hair pink with a spray. I don't impose the kids with their costumes. They chose.

Then we carved pumpkins. Actually I did for the 2 smallest girls.

Before we went trick or treat. Pink ninja, Huntress or little dead riding hood. She wasn't so sure. Another ninja (I think his football uniform was too heavy at the end of the day). Baby owl and Zacky the bat.

Baby and me, the black cat.

Little dead riding hood. She had a tattoo cheetah eye shadow. Those are really cool.

Mimi with her Tattoo eye shadow

 We went trick or treat with the cousins

Even Zacky went

 Soso had a lot of fun. Little kids are really the cutest trick or treating.

A neighbor had a cute idea. Lights under strainer baskets. So beautiful! How was your Halloween? 

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! Joyeux Noel!!!!

We wish you all a Merry Christmas from the Thornton family!

We love you and thank you for your support, encouragements and love!

Top 19 Most Kids Friendly French Food

1. Crepes- Crepes are basically thin pancakes that can be eaten for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or dessert, depending on their filling. They are so easily customizable that it would be impossible to find something to stuff them with that a child wouldn't enjoy.

2. Quiches- This food is child friendly because it is filled with very basic foods: egg, vegetables, and cheese. All of these are encased in a flaky pie-crust like casing.

3. Croque Monsieur- while this may sound complex, it is actually just a hot ham and cheese sandwich, which is something your child is probably fairly used to eating. It is simple and definitely child-friendly.

4. Chocolate mousse- If a parent were to tell their child they are going to be served a fluffy chocolate dessert, it is doubtful that many of them would decline.

5. Tarte aux Fruits- As you may have guessed, this is simply a fruit tart served for dessert. Yum!

6. Fresh Baguettes- If your child will like anything in France, it is sure to be the exquisite breads available. They are made fresh and are insanely delicious.

7. Frites au Four- While the name may be confusing, frites au four is actually just french fries. They are a bit different than their Americanized counterpart in the way that they are not deep fried and are much healthier, but they are still child-friendly.

8. Cassoulet- This dish is a soup made with beans and meat. Simple ingredients normally translate to a child-friendly meal.

9. Clafoutis- This food is a dessert made from fresh fruit and custard. Hard not to love that combination!

10. Steak Frites- As long as the child does not have an aversion to red meat, this dish will be a hit! It is simply steak with the traditional french style fries. The main difference, however, is that the dipping sauce for this dish is mayonnaise rather than ketchup.

11. Pain au Chocolat- This dish is a combination of two child favorites: fresh flaky bakery pastries and chocolate. It is simply chocolate wrapped in a pastry. Delicious!

12. French Omelet- As long as your child is a fan of eggs, this omelet will be a hit! Omelets in America generally have lots of extra ingredients stuffed within the omelet, but French Omelets are really just herbs and cheese.

13. Yogurt Cake- This is one of the most basic cakes in France and is the first cake most French children learn to make. It is simple and delicious!

14. French onion soup- Most people are familiar with this soup. It is something that most children would enjoy and is easy to make.

15. Crème brûlée- Crème brûlée is literally translated as "burnt cream". It is a dish made of custard with a layer of hardened caramel for the top layer of the dish.

16. Crespéou- This dish is a sort of layered egg dish with vegetables and other egg toppings. It is an incredibly popular French food

17. Gougères- Gougères are cheese puffs that would be child-friendly as long as that child likes the taste of cheese

18. Quenelles- This dish is the equivalent as an American dumpling. Delicious, simply, and child-friendly!

19. Fondue- Most people have probably heard of fondue but may not know it is originally a French dish. Children will like this because they are able to choose what it is they want to dip in the cheeses and other dippings.

How my youngest has reacted to a new baby

I took this picture few months ago, before she cut her bangs.

My Fairy is very smart and full of surprises.

The kids have been in love with the baby.

Something very interesting has happened. My Fairy doesn't throw tantrums to get attention...She is a tornado...Every drawer has been opened, every bottles have been opened and some spilled. Things disappear, then appear to be put away and disappear again.

Q tips are gone, cotton balls and soap to name a few. We had an experiment lab for a while with weird liquids in cups in the girl's room.

She is a tornado.

One day, when she is older, we will talk about this and how inventive she is.

Frenchy's Fall makeup picks, great for family/portrait pictures.

I change my makeup every 3 months...

This is my pick for this Fall.

I love those products and are great for every day and evening looks.

Almay intense  i-color

Smoky_i kit

It came with Intense i color eye liner in midnight black...Very smooth..like a khol liner.

I love this! Choose the color palette for your eye color. Very easy to use for a smoky eye!

Day look...and night look.

I use brushes to apply the eye shadows...not the applicators included.

Loreal's Voluminous false lashes * Faux cils

This is fabulous! This is my new favorite! My lashes have never look so good! Looking like fake lashes!

Perfect formulation. Easy to remove and does not smudge...

NYC lip plumper in strawberry mousse 472

I have used it before and coming back to it! Perfect "lip gloss" lip plumper. It really works and feels great, looks great. 

If pink is not your color, choose another color. You will love them!

My last pick is Bare minerals Clear radiance

Contour your face with a large brush. It gives you a soft glow for the cold season.

My only splurge. 

The finished day look with my Makeup selection...i was light on the brush...Use more product for night or professional family/portrait pictures.

The camera and editing fades the makeup.

Hope you like my makeup choices?

Do you have a favorite makeup you use for Fall?
