Anna's New Apron....

She really like her new apron. The princess fabric I got from Brandon's sister and on the other side of the apron is a Dora print. Its turned out well, which I am happy about. I made it a bit big, but I wanted it to fit her for a while.

Cupcakes.....

I love homemade butter cream frosting. I got a recipe the other day from my mother-in-law and so I had to make up a batch. The kids then wanted cupcakes, so I decided to frost them up pretty. Boy were they good:)

Silly, Silly.......
Noah don't like to keep his bib on anymore, which is not a big deal. It's nice to try and keep him clean during the day and try to save on making more laundry for me to do.

Noah is following after his brother and sister in liking fruit smoothies. Now when he sees a cup he is ready for one himself and if he doesn't get one he gets pretty upset till he gets his own cup. It's pretty cute:)

Sick.....

The last few days Noah has had a fever, been tired and just not feeling well. I thought he had just pick up a bug from church. Then after a couple of days I noticed that he has a couple of molders coming in on the top. Poor little guy! That sure must hurt. I sure am looking forward to having my happy little Noah back soon.

Ruby is such a sweety.....
She will snuggle on any blanket that she can find.

Here's one more picture...

Little Noah.....

Here are just a few pictures of Noah to let you see how much he is growing. He still is not walking, but he will stand by himself. I think he may just be waiting till he can start running:)

Gabe was having a really good time pushing Noah on the little Cinderella bus. Noah also thought it was great as you can see by the grin on his face.

Here's Noah sitting in the bathroom sink after he had exploded his pants. He enjoyed sitting the in sink and chewing on a toothbrush.

Butterfly Skirt........
Well here it is....I think it turned out pretty good, but it's a bit big on Anna now. She can wear it, but it's to full, but by this summer it should fit her. I am planning on making some more of these because they are very easy. I am also almost done making the aprons for the kids. As soon as they are finished I will post some pictures.

Anyone want to join us for a Picnic????

Skirt Pattern

I got this pattern a while back and I am finally getten a round to cutting out the pattern. I have this really pretty butterfly flower printed fabric, which I think Anna will really like. So now it's time for me to put it together. I'm not real good at following directions, but I'm going to try my best. I'll post pictures when I get it done. Hopefully it's sooner then later.

Here are just a few pictures of us with our pups...

This is the first recipe swap of 2009, which is hosted by I Have to Say. This month's theme is "Fun Foods". Fun foods are usually sticky, salty, sugary or fattening, and we all love them! To find more recipes a long this line click on the recipe box swap picture.

As I was thinking about what recipe to post it was clear to me that one of my favorite sticky, sugary, & fattening recipes is "Christmas Morning Rolls". Maybe most of you have made these before and if you haven't you need to try them. This recipe is great because you put it all together the night before you serve them. When you Wake up, simply pop them in a pre-heated 350 oven for 30 minutes and you have warm - delicious - home made cinnamon rolls. This is not a recipe that you only make at Christmas time, but can be made any time of the year so here it is.


Christmas Morning Rolls

1 bag (24) frozen dinner rolls
1 pkg. butterscotch pudding mix (not instant)
1 stick butter
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 cup chopped pecans

Arrange rolls in a greased Bundt pan. Sprinkle dry pudding over rolls. Cook butter and remaining ingredients over low heat until bubbles & pour over rolls. Cover tightly with foil and let stand on counter overnight. Next morning, bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.
Let stand 5 minutes , then place large serving plate on top and invert carefully.
Serve & Enjoy:)

New Easel....
This is a present the kids got for Christmas from Uncle Matt & Aunt Ann. It took me a month before I finally put it together. They have been having lots of fun using it. I think it will be really nice this summer when the kids want to paint or do something messy they can do it outside. They keep asking to paint, but I haven't wanted to venture in that direction yet. I have in the past, but right now I do so much cleaning up I have been just sticking with markers and crayons. They are safe right?
