Our Littles

Patrick and me with our Littles at Colton's 5th birthday party. Lots of fun playing at the park on a beautiful spring day!

Matty

Matty does lots of cute things that are.....well....unique. One of which is cuddling with his feet. Only Matty is flexible enough to pull this off! What a cutie!

Sweet Treats!

We named this treat "Hoggle Cake". It is ice cream sandwiches layered with whipped cream, chocolate and carmel syrup, and chopped Butterfingers. Yum!

My very first Lemon Meringue Pie. It actually turned out good except for the crust. I won't be attempting a butter crust any time soon again.

Ladybug Land

Our ladybird beetles (aka ladybugs) arrived today. They are in their lavae state and are....umm...not so cute right now. They look like little alligator beetles or something. We will be giving them a few drops of water every other day and within a week or two they should change into beautiful ladybird beetles. We shall see!

Winter Lapbook

Colton had fun working on a winter lapbook craft this week during school. Crafts are one of his favorite parts of home schooling. He is getting pretty handy with a pair of scissors! Not to mention wielding a glue stick like none other :-)

So Grown Up!

How did these guys get so grown up??? Mikey and Abbey are growing up to be such wonderful teens/preteens! I am so proud of their kind and generous hearts!

Happy New Year

We had a low key New Year's Eve celebration at home. Daddy had to work so I took the night off cooking and ordered out for pizza delivery. Mikey was the only one brave enough to stay up late. The rest of us were in bed by 9:30pm.


Bye bye 2009........hello 2010!


Who wouldn't want to party with these two cuties!
