"No, mom I didn't take your camera and use it without asking..."

Camera fun while mom is at school volunteering.

The bridge over hot lava the kids made and just had to capture on film.

Seriously I could just kiss that kids face off! He is so deliciouse!

He absolutely LOVED feeding the ducks!

New Sunday Dresses

We went to Joann's fabric store and Violet got to pick out her own fabrics for mom to make her some new Sunday dresses as she had only one that fit! These are 2 of the 4 that I made for her.

Kids and boxes....why do we buy toys again?

Violet jumping in the box.

Bekah's turn in the box.

Ok Owen I want my turn back now you get out.

Look at me I am so cute in the box!

Violet can I have a turn in the box again please?

Snow Days

TJ really wanted me to carve his face out of the snowman so it would look like him...this was my attempt.

Mom! Mom! Mom! Come look and bring the camera....the 10 commandments! (TJ speaking)

TJ and our snow people. He is standing by "himself", which I had to have Trevor come out nad lift for me as I cannot lift a 100 pound snowball while pregnant. Thanks honey.

TJ's snow bird. This was the beginning of the snowman building adventures he and I had.

TJ proudly standing by our biggest snowman. Which happens to be a snowman of himself.

Mess Maker Mess Maker Make Me a Mess......

Owen loves it when I get the washcloth all wet to clean him off and then toss it over his face. He then pulls if off and swings it around or starts sucking on it!

Look at me I can clean my head!

You know I can't even remember what he ate to make this mess.

This is my kids' favorite treat. A frozen cookie dough ball. I usually make a double batch and only bake a dozen or so, then I scoop the rest on a cookie sheet and put them in the fridge for a few hours then in the freezer for a later date. The kids love eating the frozen dough.

Can you tell what variety of cookie this was?

Violet's Birthday

Enjoying birthday cake! MMMMM chocolate.

Bekah, Violet, TJ

Happy Birthday Violet we love you. Look at Erin gazing up at them so adoringly. How sweet.
