vanilla steamers

so i'm totally addicted to vanilla steamers. after my friend corinne's wedding last weekend we stopped at starbucks since we were not ready to go home. i had a vanilla steamer and LOVED it so i went back this week and decided i could make my own since starbucks isn't exactly cheap.

 i bought torani vanilla syrup and put it in hot milk and we love it! my little 'a' and i were bored today and so we enjoyed a steamer and played peek-a-boo. it is so fun when something as simple as peek-a-boo entertains a child. she can't grow up - i don't think i can let her!

I am addicted too! They also have sugar free syrup at starbucks just in case you wanted to know. Also, matt and I love vanilla creamer in hot chocolate too! Makes it taste so good! For the summer, you can do that same type of syrup in a sprite and add milk or half and half to make an italian soda! So yummy!
Oh BTW...Hi, how are you? I check your blog every now and then and love it! Your pictures and kids are beautiful. Hope life is good! I was called as primary chorister in my new ward. Love it but it is really hard too! We only have 23 kids in our ENTIRE primary. What a big change!
