January through March Updates

Snowboarding with bagged pillows and couch cushions...my kids creative idea while watching the x games with daddy.

 

Anna's Cupcakes for Valentines at her preschool, she had some very specific specifics and this is how they turned out.

My baby turned one in Feb. and he was so cute and so good for his birthday.

A monkey cake for the monkey...this kid can get anywhere. This is a Martha Stewart recipe and I must tell you the vanilla and chocolate fluffy buttercream frosting recipe is the best ever. I am not a huge fan of frosting, but I loved this!

Picking up the entire scoop of ice cream and loving every minute except maybe the shock of cold at the begining.

The after...he was a good little cake muncher.

With his first birthday came his real first hair cut...we have trimmed here and there but this time we went with the clippers. Here is the fluff head before...


...and the fuzz head after.

The norm for Anna...we must always be beautiful.

The norm for Jacob...making up sporting gear for whatever sport he is into at the time. I know its hard to see but he has soccer shorts on over his sweats.

Cole loves all headbands and glasses lately...actually anything you can put on your head is good.

St. Patricks Day...Leo the Leprechaun left a rainbow trail of skittles to a pot of gold candies and avoided the traps (comprised of sticky tape and fruit snacks to lure him in) set in place by these 2 munchkins. We topped it off with with rainbow waffles for breakfast.



Just another sweet picture of my baby.

You should know by now...

... that I am always behind on blogging so just look for a ton of post from now on...maybe someday I will be able to sit down and finish what I start without interuption.

Random and Peek-a-boo...

Isn't this the sweetest thing!

I know this is hard to see but this is our first family sledding adventure ever.

Where's Coley?

There he is!

I am doing the dishes and realize Cole is being very quiet and this is how I find him...sucking off all the sticky syrup on the outside of the cap.

Bakin' with the Easy Bake...

Jake's 7th Birthday...

This little boy, didn't feel so hot on his B-day but I still think it was good, it was all put togther very quickly because at the last minute he changed his mind about what he wanted to do. Oh well, cake tasted awful and not some of my best work, but he liked it and that is all that matters.

Christmas Morning 2011...

"He ate all the cookies!"

Christmas Morning Cont.

I am not sure how but I managed not to take any pictures of them with their favorite toys...Jake loved his Bey Blades, Legos, and Leapster. Anna's favorite, by far was the Easy Bake Oven and probably her Leapster as well. Cole's was the little glowing singing lamb on the previous post. Wade like his new saw, but decided to take it back and get some more practical things...typical Wade. And I got the new Photoshop, hopefully I will get to sit down and play with it soon.

My...31st B-day...

For my birthday they bought me my very own pinata...never had one before...so here we are taking a whack at it. You might notice my lovely apparel, a gift from my friends Dan and Darcy, a Rothlisburger jersey. If you didn't already know I am NOT a Steelers fan and I am really not a Roth fan, but none-the-less funny. Jacob said, Hey mom, now you can be a real Steelers fan!" My reply, "It will take much more than a jersey to make me a steelers fan." His rebuttle, "Yah, you probably need a helmet, a hat, etc" Ha ha...that kid kills me.

Some more Birhday Stuff...

Nobody felt very well for my birthday, what's new, I have been sick more often than not on my B-day. So we just hung out and played games most of the day...Here are our princesses from the pretty pretty princess game and the cakes...the Pepridge Farm freezer kind...love those!
