Party!

We attended a birthday party for our friends the little boy Issac. He is now one! It was space themed and a bunch of fun.

Kristin (the mommy) made this moon cake. It is super adorable, and it was yummy too!

I thought it was funny that he was looking right at me while Kristin was trying to get a picture.

We got to decorate cupcakes. Katie would decorate hers then lick it off and decorate it again. Here it has m&m's marshmallows and a star burst.

Issac thought the cake was yummy too!

Abi got down and crawled after Issac for a while.

Happy Birthday Issac! You are one cute little guy!

Abi is now 18 months old, she now is officially in Nursery although with my calling at church being in the nursery she has been coming for the last 6 months. Abi is a chatter box and knows so many words its amazing. She loves to play with baby dolls and is a good little mommy. She loves her Grandpas and will yell PAPAAAA when she wants one of them. She loves to play and wrestle with her daddy and thinks that he is much more fun than mommy but when she is sad or tired its mommy she wants. She loves her sister and calls her Kakie. I love that girl so much and look forward to seeing all the new things she learns to do!

Skirt and pocket softies.

There is an amazing blog called Filth Wizardry, it is a mom of two little girls and all the fun crafts and stuff they do. This is a copy of some skirts she made her girls with pocket softies sewn into the pocket.

Katie actually got this as a dress but the top didn't fit to well so I cut the top off and made a skirt. I used lady bugs from the top part to make the pocket softies.

Pictures from February

So this is the face Katie has started to give me when I'm trying to take pictures, it has been extra difficult lately to get a good picture out of her.

I don't know how to french braid but have been trying, although I usually give up and end up doing a twist like thing instead.

Kissy face!

The day after I posted about my new nephew my brother and his family came to visit.

Hearts and lots of them!

We made lots of heart shaped cookies for Valentines Day. Katie was a good little helper. I have an issue with sugar cookies that taste like flour. They are called sugar cookies and should taste sweet. I used Alton Browns sugar cookie and icing recipe and they turned out yummy!

Some of the sugar cookies I dipped in chocolate.

John loves chocolate chip cookies with flax seeds so I made some pan cookies and cut out heart shapes just for him! Ok, so we all had our share.

My parents gave our girls these cute valentines!

We had valentines that had temporary tattoos that the girls thought were fun.

New Nephew!

At the begining of January my older brother Trent and his wife Tanya added a third boy to their family. His two big brothers are Joseph and Ethan and are two sweet boys. He was born on Josephs 7th birthday, a baby brother has got to be a great present! This guys name is Spencer and although I have yet to meet him in person I can tell he is adorable!
