Do You Like My Hat?

Our little artist is at it again. Her school got to pick 25 students to feature a piece of art in the Young Artists Exhibition. She was among them. All schools in the area were represented and the art was very impressive.

Above is the piece she contributed.
Below are some of my other favorites.




Molly made this hat in art recently, pretty groovy.


We're so proud of our little artist.

Charlie bit my finger

A friend was telling me about this hilarious video she found on YouTube. I had to post it after watching it. There is something about the British accent that makes it even funnier.

Highlights of a Great Easter

The true meaning of Easter. It's easy to get wrapped up in the hype of Easter traditions, you will see below that I am certainly on the guilty side of that, but we know and teach our children what Easter is really about. We love our Savior, Jesus Christ. We acknowledge His presence in everything we do. Our family thrives on this knowledge, and the knowledge of just how much he loves us in return.


Take One. . .


Take Two.

The dads overseeing the egg dying. When you don't have family nearby, it's great to have good friends to share the holidays with.





Easter Morning and the unveiling of the baskets.








Easter Evening and hunting for eggs.

Party On

Molly welcomed in 6 years of life with a Scooby Doo/Build A Bear SLUMBER party.
Here are some highlights from a super fun party.


The cake I ended up going with. It really was easy to do considering I had Giant Eagle do it for me. It sure was good.


I highly recommend a party at Build a Bear. They really did a great job.


We got Molly the Wizard of Oz Build a Bear outfit collection for her b-day. The girls all dressed up their animals in one of the outfits and tried to put on a play. Zoe was our fearless director.


Scooby Doo attire, a must for every party.


I slept on the couch next to the girls, and believe it or not, they were all asleep by 12:30 and no one woke up until 6:00am. Not to shabby.

Lots Of Fun

I know I haven't blogged in a while, nor have I viewed others blogs for the most part. Do you ever get bogged down with something and loose all desire to do anything else? I have been a bit of a stranger to this poor computer and I am trying to end the neglect. Not to mention I am getting SOOO sick of this celebrity post I could puke. So I decided to grace you all with some wonderful pictures of my carpal tunnel syndrome surgery.... I got the left hand done a month ago and the right one done on Tuesday. Enjoy.

Good Luck!!!

I got this e-mail from my mom, it's amazing what photoshop can do. I thought I would put these pictures up with the names, but now I'm thinking maybe it would be more fun if you try to guess. So leave your guesses and I will post the answers in a week. The first one to get them all wins something, I'm not sure what yet, but I'm thinking something eatable. If you got this e-mail too, don't ruin it!

My Little Gerkin

I just want to document some of the many sides of Dillon.

This is the sweet Dillon after a fun trip to Build-a-Bear.



This is the creative Dillon. He had just got home from school and Molly had some yarn out for a craft she was working on. I went in the other room to take a call from my brother and i came back to this, he was making a spiderweb.



Amish Dillon.



Crazy Dillon. (a little Bob Marley-ish)



Playful Dillon. Notice the pins he put in his belt loops to act as arrows. the ukulele is his Bow.



Silly Dillon.





And this is Imaginative Dillon. He made this "speaker" from a paint brush, and few random toy pieces, and a clip from a pin.

You got to love love My Dillon.
