Instructions
  1. Slice French bread into 20 slices, 1-inch each. (Use any extra bread for garlic toast or bread crumbs). Arrange slices in a generously buttered 9 by 13-inch flat baking dish in 2 rows, overlapping the slices. In a large bowl, combine the eggs, half-and-half, milk, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt and beat with a rotary beater or whisk until blended but not too bubbly. Pour mixture over the bread slices, making sure all are covered evenly with the milk-egg mixture. Spoon some of the mixture in between the slices. Cover with foil and refrigerate overnight.
  2. The next day, preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  3. Spread Praline Topping evenly over the bread and bake for 40 minutes, until puffed and lightly golden. Serve with maple syrup.

Little Buckaroo Rodeo

Hadley & I packed up and headed to Firth for the Little Buckaroo. She even got to match the other girls with an Indian costume of her own. 
Then two little girls stole away in my car & headed back to Utah. We introduced them to J-Dawgs, went shopping, and spent an afternoon swimming. Maybe you can see them floating along the lazy river. It was hard to take a picture of them holding a little one and the sun glaring on my phone.
