Getting Ready

Everyone is outside getting ready for Rog's 50th bday party. I really like it when we all can come together and accomplish something that I thought would be overwhelming. Thanks guys for your help. I will be asking for more in the next 47.5 hours. Love ya.

Spring is here

Here is another idea I got from Pinterest. Yesterday Grace and I made these cute spring handprint flower pots. You could make them for Mother's Day or just as a fun craft project. I traced her hand on green construction paper and helped her cut it out. We then found scraps of construction paper to make the pot. We had flower, butterflies and bee cut outs that we used. Grace then wrote Happy Spring. Fun way to spend a little time together with a pretty project to display afterwards. Happy Spring you all!

He is growing up

My goof ball son!


Justin took his ASVAB test last night. He will hear of his results later this week. From what I understand he will then be meeting with a counselor to help him choose his career goals. He was hoping to be processed out by the end of March...what ever that means. I guess he could be reporting to Basic Training later this year. He is ready to start on a new adventure and I am so excited for him. Nervous and scared, yes, but excited.

Someone got her library card

Grace has a new library card! She was so excited to get her very own that she checked out the whole library! Grace has really grown in her reading ablities and I thought a fun way to reward her was to get her own card.

Pinterst interest

I am going to start updating my blog now that I have found Pinterst. I want a way to record my success and failures. I made a rainbow cake for St. Patricks Day.

I wish I had the orignal photo, which I will get replace with soon.

I made a regular white cake mix and took out 1/2 cup of mix to color. I then layered in a bundt pan and baked according to directions. It was very moist and a fun surprise for everyone.
