Fairies & Flowers

My sisters and I started making and selling tutu's and flower hair clips. The flowers in this slide show are ones that my Activity Day Girls made the other night. Fun times!

Learning and Laughter

Ethan has learned to crawl and is so happy to go where ever he wants! Dan & Russ love to write words on walls, paper, and even with food. LOL

Dress up!

Lydia is all girl! She loves to dress up. Often she will change her dress 4 or 5 times a day. Our cousin gave us these old costumes and Lydia has loved every minute playing dress up with them. (I did put most of them away for her birthday). Yea, for hand-me-downs!!!

Fun with my Valentines!

Valentines Day was fun. Spaghetti dinner, roses that the twins helped pick out and we went to see the musical "Peter Pan" at Sky View high school. So fun to spend the day as a family.
(also, I redecorated my bedroom).

Grin and bear it!

My new short hair cut.

At least I have control over something! :D

I found out this week that I have strep.

It's lots of fun! (I have to take pain killers just

so I can stand to swallow soup and water).

So, I told Dan to get himself breakfast cuz I

was feeling awful. The giant bowl is what

I saw when I came in. I helped him get a

normal size bowl. LOL

The kids have been pretty good this week

even with Mom hardly keeping up.

They only climbed out the front window

and down the drain pipe to chase a cat.

Turned on the shower when all 3 of

them were in it fully clothed.

Then the usual biting faces and

throwing things.

Basically a normal week ...for us! LOL

Thanks to all those who have

helped support, cheer and

ease the load this week!
