Those who know me (I’m talking friends, not family) probably remember the first time we were introduced and heard my name spoken. OK, you probably don’t remember anything except that it was very strange, different, and hard to pronounce. Montserrat How do you say it? Mon see rat? Mont say rat? You see why I […]
Echoes From Our House Last Night
Cookie’s recitation of the second Article of Faith: “We believe that men will be punished for their own sins and not for Adam’s ranch dressing.” (It’s supposed to be transgression). While playing musical chairs….Brownie: “Semisweet always wins because she uses her big hips to boot everyone off the chair.”Me: “She’s just using the gifts she’s […]

Best Photo of 2008
At DPS this week’s assignment was to show our best photo of 2008. This is not the one I submitted but I’m showing it here as the “best emotion” shot of 2008. I hope we can continue to laugh and tickle and laugh some more the rest of our lives. © 2007-2013 Chocolate on my […]

Phew! What a week!
This week has been crazy fun with lots of family, wedding festivities, and traveling. I am so glad it is over though and we can get back to our regular schedule. Mr. Ferrero Rocher’s youngest brother got married on Wednesday in the Reno Nevada Temple. That night we had a reception in his hometown. Before […]
911…There’s no emergency
Kids can have some very vivid imaginations. Just ask a couple of my girls – Brownie and Semisweet to be exact. Thanksgiving afternoon all the womenfolk were gathered upstairs in my mother-in-law’s house discussing plans for the upcoming wedding of Mr. Ferrero Rocher’s youngest brother. Semisweet, Brownie and Cousin M came charging in giggling hysterically […]
Potpourri
♥ Busy but fun day yesterday. Fudge, Cookie and I spent the day in Reno – three hours at the pediatric dentist and that was just for check-ups! That part wasn’t too fun but all the shopping was. I took them to Toys R Us. They’ve never been and were enthralled with all the toys. […]

Tiny Birthday Cakes
Isn’t this little cake cute? Friday night we made twelve of them in preparation for Truffle’s birthday party on Saturday. She was having a doll tea party so naturally each doll had to have it’s own cake too. For each tiny cake you need two sandwich cookies (we used Oreos), frosting and sprinkles. Put a […]
Eunuch! I mean UNIQUE!
Heart of the Matter has asked us to tell what is UNIQUE about our family for this week’s Friday Homeschool Meme. I had to think hard about this because I tend to think we fall into the typical God-fearing, conservative values type of category. Of course we do have an usual ratio of girls to […]
Another one bites the dust
I’ve been absent for a few days from the blog. Posts have been posted but they were scheduled a week ago. I have been busy trying to mark another item off of my to-do list – the annual family calendar for Mr. Ferrero Rocher’s side. It is always a HUGE undertaking. Gathering photos, trying to […]
Just Grandpa and Me
Mr. Ferrero Rocher is the third of ten kids. Between the six kids that are married there are 34 grandchildren. Makes for some big family gatherings! Cousins have so much fun playing with one another. It seems everyone looks out for everyone else and there’s always somebody around to help hold the babies. These pictures […]
Messages of Faith
We just spent a wonderful weekend together as a family. We listened to General Conference at home wrapped in blankets. For those not familiar with our LDS faith, General Conference is a time where we hear words of instruction and counsel from the prophet, Thomas S. Monson, members of the Quorum of Twelve Apostles and […]
