Peter...

Of course this picture is posed but, during prayer last night Peter had his little stuffed dog and cat next to him and in the middle of the prayer he turns his head to his animals and says "shhhh! Me praying." It was pretty cute and funny.

I love being a mom!!!

My new love....

My husband rocks!!! This is what he

gave me for Christmas...the kitchenaid

has taken up residence in the basement!

A Picture Frame Tutorial

Ok so this is kind of a lame tutorial. SUPER easy!!

SUPPLIES:

picture frame (any size you want)

Scrap book paper to put in the frame

Scraps of 1" fabric strips various lengths (I usually use a minimum of 18")

Vinyl that says don't forget

Here goes...cut your scrapbook paper to fit inside your frame. Put in the frame (if you don't have access to vinyl go ahead and run it through your printer and print whatever you would like don't forget, to do list, prayer, whatever you are wanting to use the board for).

Roll your flowers. There are a million tutorials out there just google one, someday I may post one. Hot glue to your frame. If you are putting vinyl on you can do this now. You are done. I told you it was kind of lame...pretty much a no brainer! Oh yeah, you need a dry erase marker to fill up that baby with all the things you might forget! :)

I am a lame blogger!

My computer has something wrong with it....the dreaded blue screen! So, I have been getting to know the MAC my hubby gave me. I am not as comfortable with it as I was with my other computer but, I am figuring things out. So, hopefully I will be able to have some fun posts soon. I am going to continue the YW handouts as soon as I get PSE installed on my MAC and I have some fun tutorials coming up in the next month or so.

Peter's 3

We celebrated Peter's 3rd Birthday today...I know I always say this but, I can't believe 3 years have gone by already. Peter in a nutshell...

He loves and I mean LOVES trains!

He refers to himself as me. Usually he is saying "me loves this or me hates this"

For instance when I started making his train cake this morning apparently he didn't like the color I was using so he looks at the cake and then looks and me and says "me hate that". It's kinda funny. I have tried to help him say I and he just doesn't get it yet.

He is a boy of few words.

He loves to play with Christian.

He does not take naps or else he is SUPER GRUMPY!

He is a very sweet big brother.

I love it when he says "me love you mommy!" which he says often.

He is my little shadow.

He loves cookie dough. (yeah I am a bad person and let my kids eat cookie dough)

He is really a sweet little boy as long as you don't cross him!

We love you Peter and are so grateful that you are part of our family. You are definitely my sunshine! :)

Gingerbread houses.

We did not have time to do gingerbread houses during the holidays so yesterday I decided it didn't matter that Christmas was over my kiddos love making these and I had all the stuff to do them so that is exactly what we did. Here are all there masterpieces.

Did I mention Chicken Pox?!?

Yeah, seriously! We had the weirdest case of the chicken pox. My little Noel broke out in a rash and the first thing I thought was Chicken Pox, but she received the vaccine so I thought no way. Brought her in to the Dr. and yup it was the chicken pox. Weird thing is they didn't itch! LUCKY, LUCKY girl!! I had the worst case when I was a kid.
