BEAT it!

Q had her first beater on February 27. I realize she is a little young, but I'm a baker. I grew up being taught to bake and taste it along the way. I will never forget my grandma teaching me to bake bread, cookies, cinnamon rolls, you name it. She ALWAYS stressed how important it was to enjoy the entire process. :) So it came to be, that Q had her first cookie dough beater. She LOVED it. Can't say I blame her. :)

Jewelry!

Last year for mothers' Day, I couldn't decide what to do for my mom. That's when Jen asked me if she could teach me how to make jewelry. Since then, jewelry-making has become something I truly LOVE to do. It is so incredibly relaxing, and the results are beautiful or super-cute jewelry...

Cougarette

A and I went to see The Cougarettes in Concert last month. We had a great time just being together and A has a new goal in life. She is going to be a Cougarette. While we were watching she asked me if we would come see her when she was a Cougarette...

100 Pieces of what?!

Twizzler. Okay. It's the classic "make a picture using 100 of something" assignment. A chose to make rainbow colored butterflies. We obviously chose Twizzlers to do this. The best part about this project was that on a Sunday morning I came downstairs to find Andrew handling the glue gun. Not just handling it, but handling it like a pro. He and A, along with R's input, created an adorable butterfly poster...

Poser

Because I took pictures of the girls the first time they wore their hats, Q thinks she has to pose every time she puts one on. It's pretty cute. :)

General Custer

S's book report project for the month of January was based on a historical character. He was to find a couple books about his favorite characer from history and learn about that person. S chose General George Armstrong Custer. After reading about him, the kids had to create a poster with facts about the person and then dress up as the person for a wax museum...

Funny

Katie has this friend on FB. I've met him. He's a funny guy. The other day she showed me some of his pictures. A couple were just too funny not to share...

R's Eleventh

R turned eleven this year. We decided that since it was a Sunday and we had football games to watch at Grandma & Grandpa's house, we'd have his party over there. We had family and friends over and did the normal cake, ice cream, and presents routine...

Toothless

I think toothless little kids are just the cutest ever. So when A's first front top tooth fell out, I took advantage of it. I told her that if she was able to get her second top front tooth out quickly, the tooth fairy would bring her an extra dollar. Shameless? Yes, I am...

Plain White T's

For my birthday, Jen took me to see the Plain White T's. (As a side note, I have to tell you that the only reason I am okay with the misuse of the apostrophe in their band name is because Jen has convinced me that it is merely there to replace the "ee" in the word "tee"...

Princess Q

Q was invited to a princess birthday party at the end of January. I think it's safe to say that I had WAY too much fun with this. :)
