Caring for baby 101

I got this e-mail from a friend, pretty funny.


























Thought these might help, just in case you aren't sure.

Babies, Screaming, Valentines, and Friends

Charlee is obsessed with babies. The baby she has taken to the most weighs about half as much as she does, so it's pretty comical to watch her struggle to drag that baby around all over the house. She has also moved into this screaming phase about a week or two ago, also pretty comical at times. This video explains it all, needless to say she pretty much starts screaming when Dillon is with in two feet of her weather he is touching her or not.




Just a few pictures from the kids school Valentines parties.



Yesterday the kids had fun decorating some cookies with their friends, Mia and Jack.


And we had some of our own friends, the Lamborns, over for dinner. Travis got creative the night before and made them a cake personalized with their name on it. This is harder than it seems because it was a pineapple upside down cake which means he had to do the writing in mirror image, props to him. It was a fun day and a great evening.

That about wraps it up.

Valentine Dippers

I made these for Molly's kindergarten Valentines party. It was a lot of fun and they are so cute.
Just use the strawberry marshmallows, chocolate chips, strawberries, and sprinkles. I would recommend dipping all the marshmallows and pouring on the sprinkles before putting them onto the skewers. It's much easier that way.

Snow Sweets

So we made the snow ice cream from the recipe we got off of Kendras blog (a big bowl of snow and a can of sweetened condensed milk), SO GOOD! We added a little vanilla to ours and it really tastes like ice cream. I guess if there is anything to get out of the winters here its snow ice cream. Anyway, we had some left over snow so we put some lemon juice and grenadine in it to make slushies, also a nice treat. So take advantage of the snow while we have it, and remember to stay away from the yellow snow.

A Friend Like This

I have known Lana since birth and she has been a huge part of my life through out it all.

Good ole high school. Top picture is freshman year, bottom picture is after graduation right before we moved to Seattle.


(top) So much fun during our single days in Seattle. (bottom)We were both there the first time we hung out with the guys we would later call our husbands.


We supported each other as we said our I do's. Her dress was much prettier than mine.


Just recently when they came to Cleveland to visit.


I hope everyone is blessed to have a friend like this.
