Abby's First Snowman

Perhaps I should have been a little more prepared. The only thing I had to use as the snowman's nose was a HOTDOG!! The funny thing was I guess an animal got hungry in the night and ate it. :) Note to self: Use a carrott next time.



We found out Sunday night that Ethan had the PINK EYE. We honestly thought it was allergies. So instead of being outside with daddy and Abby, he got to stay inside and stay warm!!

Let me explain...

This is my baby in her new booster seat. This picture is a result of
me taking a picture while driving (I know, I know). My "baby" is in the back
with her legs crossed so sweetly, talking on the phone. I am starting to realize how
true it is that time goes by so fast with our babies!!

One of those Moms.

Yes, I admit I am one of those moms. I take things to the extreme. When asked to bring a food that
starts with the letter P...we chose cupcakes with pink and purple sprinkles. We had fun making them (see below) and the
kids will love them.

How Quickly They Change

Bath tiime was soon to follow...

Check out Ethan's eyebrow. He wasn't so sure of the jets. :)

My Little Helper

Daddy left for a mission trip today and will be gone all weekend. Please pray for their
safety and that they time will be used wisely. Please pray that they have all the physical
resources they need to do the contruction needed on the church in Alabama.

At Abby's school the letter of the week is "P". They had a "Proud" jar they filled with marbles when the
teacher noticed them doing something that made them proud. Once it was filled the teachers have planned
a Pizza Party for them. The parents are bringing other foods that start with "P"...you are not going to believe all
the food that starts with the letter P. There will be so much food tomorrow. We made cupcakes with Pink and Purple sprinkles!!
There will also be popcorn, pickles, pudding, punch, pretzles and maybe some popcicles. CRAZY.

Abby did wonderful making the cupcakes. I measured everything and she poured everything in!

My first time cracking an egg was in front of my kindergarten class. I cracked the egg and in attempt to pour it in the bowl the egg landed in the floor. I was so embarassed. Not my Abby. She cracked the egg like a pro and in the bowl it went!!

I love the tight grip she has....

First Things First

We had a blast making these Valentines. I promised a final picture and
here it is!!

Aren't they adorable?

Snow Day!!

This is so funny. They had a blast!! Please note they are both
sitting on ice.


My Little Snow Angel

I love this laughter...laughter from down in your soul.

Yes, their hands froze. We couldn't find the gloves.

My Heart Melts for You!

Let the record show that I have almost completed my Valentines favors for
Abby's Class. They were so much fun. We melted crayons into heart shapes.
I will take a picture of the final product but they turned out so cute!!


Abby pulling the paper off.

Time to go int he oven!!

Messy things are Fun

I think often I don't want to do things because they are messy. Abby and
Ethan love to paint and so after dinner we pulled out all the stops! They had
so much fun and mema even got a little paint on her!

Best Buds at the moment

These two love to run to me and they will not run unless I call their name.
They love to hold hands and run!

Abby can be a Bear

Lately Abby has been a bear both at home and at school. I thought this
costume fit her well.

Note to self...

Instead of paying someone else to cut my screaming childs hair and it turning out looking
horrible, why not try it ourselves at home. Not one tear did he cry when his daddy cut his
hair. He even told us that it tickled.


This would be the look of MOOOOMMMM I am watching TRAINS. No pictures please.


This boy loves his trains.
