Brown Bear

Fun Monday

We took Judah to the Gulfarium yesterday while Paeton was in school. We were only there for about an hour, but it was enough time to catch three shows and look at all the animals. He got to hold a big parrot, but unfortunately my camera had died so I didn't get a picture. 

SOCK MONKEY SATURDAY!!!

Completion of the first sock... poor monkey has no eyes, no ears, no mouth and no tail.

All Done!

Today I made my first Sock Monkey! We are going to be making them in our Arts / Crafts class on Wednesday night with some of the girls in the youth group and I thought I'd better make one before I tell them how to make one.... so Paeton assisted me in making one for Judah. He's not perfect, but he turned out pretty cute. Judah picked out his mis-matched eyes and the blue socks he's made out of. He named him Super-Steve.

I May Be Crazy...

But at least I'm loved! I made this video trailer yesterday for the youth (and Paeton and Judah... who LOVE it! They watched it over and over). Enjoy....

...And this is what my living room floor looks like most days. :)

Paeton's Baptism

Movie Trailer Style :)

A fun visit

It was awesome to have mom & Mark come for a visit last week! Judah beat Papa at some racing games and we got lots of snuggle time with mum mum!

Yummy Birthday Snack

I made these yummy things for Paeton to take to school and hand out to her friends at lunch... I got the idea from Pintrist (a very addictive website)... you just put hershey kisses on small pretzels and bake at 275 for 3 minutes. As soon as you take them out, push a M&M onto the top... cool in the fridge to so the chocolate gets firm again. I think next time I'll use PB m&m's....

The Cake

It's been a few years since I made Paeton a birthday cake, so I decided there would be no store bought cake this year... I spent yesterday working on the perfect "Paeton" cake. She loved it. It was yummy too!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PAETON!

Paeton arrived home from school to find her mini-party awaiting her...

She ran next door and invited a friend to join her for cake...

blew out her candles...

And opened her presents.
