March Fun

BreeAnna and Carson helping me rake the yard. :) They were actually great little helpers.

BreeAnna couldn't find a butterfly so she asked if Carson could be her butterfly. :)

We got to stay over in Midway with my mom and dad in a condo. 'Tis crazy, but fun.

We just got this little guy Friday the 19th of March. He's such a cute little guy and the newest addition to our family. :) We named him Hedgebert McPricklesworth, "Hedgie" for short. Look at that face.

My mom's birthday cake- March 5th

Grandma LaRene's Birthday Party-March 5th

This is my first attempt at a 3-D cake. I got the idea from the March 2010 Family Fun Magazine. Now that I succeeded in actually making a cake pretty and edible, I can't wait to design my own cakes. :) I made this cake for my mom's birthday party. Here are some shots of my helpers and the party:

Helper # 1 (Carson). I don't have a picture of my #2 helper (BreeAnna)

Helper #3 My Bob Dad :)

The grand finale

Grandma was kind enough to let Bree help unwrap her presents.

Scrapbooking Pages

This is BreeAnna's friend that we used to babysit regularly, infact, she named her new favorite stuffed animal after her, Skylee.
I worked on these scrapbook pages a few months ago. Everytime Skylee comes over, we spotlight a new letter and learn about things that start with that letter. This day we spotlighted the letter "P". I'm trying to make them an ABC quiet book using these scrapbook pages.

December 1st. Carson's First Real Steps!

This is one of my pre-Christmas presents. My baby is learning to walk. Here are Carson's first real steps. We had really good timing getting the camera and capturing his toddling. Check out his hip action!

Rookie Digi Scrapbooker

I'm a rookie digi scrapbooker. It's all my sister-in-law's fault. ;) However, I'm thoroughly enjoying it. I've been trying to post a couple of my finished pages, but it's not working right now. I'll try again soon.

May 2009 Portraits with Faith's Mom

These are some fun family photos that we got taken with my mom back in May. I've tried to upload these pictures several times, but blogspot was having issues. To get them up this time it took me over 10 tries also. How aggravating. Anyway, I noticed that I don't have pictures of my mom up on my blog yet. How sad. I want her to know we love her just as much as everyone else. Here's my beautiful mom!

Strike 3, you're out!

Okay, so after my last game round of trying to get family pictures loaded up on my blog, I'm gearing up for another try. Wish me luck. If this works, these are some of our family pictures (including Grandma Amy, Taylor's mom) from August 22, 2009 at Portrait Innovations.
