Happy Birthday, Madelynn!

Madelynn turned 7, on the 7th (haha). At her party we played some bean bad tossing games, doughnut eating (on a string, no hands), and did a balloon stomp. Of course I have no picutes of any of that!:( I am so lame. She got some really awesome presents from her friends, and grandparents. And from us, she got a turtle(forgot to include a picture of that one-oops). She was a happy girl. It was a good day:)

Was it worth it?

AHH.....Brian and his snuggie:) Thanks to Jamie and Scott for this awesome Christmas present. It gets much use at our house. But I want you to know, I risked my life to get this picture. So I ask you, was it worth it? The possible loss of ME, for one shot of Brian in his snuggie? I say YES!

she's at it again!

This is a common occurrence at our house. She loves to play in the dirt of my plants. I have no idea why. If given enough time unnoticed (like this particular instance) she empties the dirt onto her head and shoulders. By the handful. Why? I know not. Unfortunately she is not picky about where we are when she decides to play in the dirt. She emptied one of my grandma's plants out when we were visiting my mom last weekend:(
And look at her face. She doesn't even look happy. Just her ever-present pout. So whats the point?

Baby swap?

She has discovered pens, and the fun that they are:( If she has a pen, she colors on everything! This is the most recent. So, Brian and I are wondering..........did we end up with one of Nate's kids on accident?

The never ending project

I started this hat for Kennedy early November. I have not crochet anything in probably 10 years. And it was my first time following a pattern and doing more than just a single crochet:) It has been a long month of learning, taking out, and redoing. But the never ending project is finally finished. Thank goodness! Thank you Mary for the hours of sitting and re-explaining over and over:)

A Christmas Miracle!

She can walk!

Happy Birthday Jackson!

Nov. 15th Jack turned 4! He was so excited. Unfortunately it was a Sunday. Not just any Sunday, but primary program Sunday. He had to sit still for 3 hours instead of just 2. Torture I am sure. He completely rebelled. He never stood up to sing. He even tried to get up and leave a few times :) But he gladly got up to say his part, loudly!
I know this is not a typical birthday cake for me, but the boy just wanted his cake "painted green". So I did.
