My Aunt Jennifer Loves me!

These are Aubrey's squeaky shoes Aunt Jennifer bought her for her birthday, and we are now benefiting from them now that she is walking - they make everyone smile and laugh every time she wears them!

Mr. Yellow Belt

We now have a a member of the family with a Yellow Belt in Karate - holy cow, watch out, he might getcha!

Last night, Ethan went into his karate class and tested for his yellow belt and passed - he was so exctited! He could hardly wait to get home to call his family in Utah to share the news!

We will sleep well now, knowing that we are protected by our little man incase some one his size tries to break in.....

Good Job Ethan!

Here is a video of his form - I think that is what they call it!

Valentine gifts!

I just thought I would share a few of our crafting projects we did this week for teachers and friends.

The first one is a new "dangerously easy" treat we made for the kid's teachers. Pretzels, Rolos and Canadian smarties (don't get these confused with good old American smarties....) Place the rolos on a square shaped pretzel and place in 250 degree oven for about 3 minutes or the chocolate is slightly melted enough to squish down, but not melt all the way through, then top with your favorite treat like M&M's or Valentine Smarties in my case. (My cute sister-in-law Christa had pecans on them for Christmas) Oh, my are they good! I added a tag made from my lovely and talented friend Lori's new line of digital scrapbook paper from Little Dreamer Designs.

The second one was Abby's valentines for her school - she goes to school inside the Jewish Synagauge so she isn't allowed to bring treats if they are not kosher, so we made playdough instead and cut it out in the shape of a heart! So here is her with her valentines ready for school and her tag I made with Lori's Love Birds line.

Happy Valentines Day!

Here she comes!

OK, it's taken a couple of days to get a good video of her, but we finally got one she didn't get stage fright! So here is a little clip of some wobbly steps from Miss Aubrey!

It's starting - Walking...

she is taking some "baby" steps.... here we go, she'll be off and running sooner than we want!
