Crazy Hair Day!

The pictures say it all . . . . .



Patience

Thompson has turned four months old! (he is four months in this picture) I call him my high maintenance baby. Just when you think that you are a professional mother having gone through it three time before, T had to come along and teach me more about being a mother. "Patience" - what is patience? Well let me tell you I have learned a variety of patience with all four of my children. I almost feel though as if Heavenly Father saved the best for last - Thompson the true test to see how patient I really am. (I think I am failing)
Madison = I learned that children like to be scheduled and know what is coming next. -Be patient
Dawson = Don't rush me or I will get frustrated and not want to do the things you want me to do. - Be patient
Jackson = Take time to hold me and play with all the imagination you got. - Be patient
Thompson = he has only been on the earth for four months and already I have learned the "patience" test over and over again. Sleeping, eating, running errands with him, doing household chores, homework with older kiddos, making meals, - he is a toughie and on top of it all Jeremy has his busy season right now and about 95% of the time I feel like a single parent. Now I don't want anyone reading this thinking that I love him a little less than my other kids - he is such a blessing to me and when I see his smile and his eyes light up when he sees me, I know he was sent to me for a reason. Wow it is great to be a mother and actually be a part of raising someone who will do great things in their lives - I know my kids will do GREAT things!
Now go hug your kids!

Who Am I?





This is it - my cute post! Can you guess who is who? These are all four of my babies when they were two months old. All four of them loved bath time and were soooo happy to get the stinky clothes off for the day and start a fresh for their all night sleep (HA)!

Super Bowl/Valentine's Day

We were disappointed that the Colts did not win the Super Bowl:( We had a great time at my parents house though, with lots of good stuff to eat and cousins to play with!

Maybe this Seahawk outfit jinxed the whole thing!Valentine's is here and again I have booked myself with many holiday projects. Being the Relief Society Committee leader the February meeting was on "Love" the language of love, I can't remember the name of the author of the book. We had a lesson on how we all love differently and then we learned how to make cupcake pops and these cute Valentine cones (mine not so cute, but some gals made some pretty impressive stuff). It was a fun evening - we had about 75 women come - I wish I took pictures, I had my camera there, but it was hard juggling teaching the pops and Thompson.
I made these cones for Madison and Dawson's teachers. That one little cupcake pop was one of over 300 made! Yes I had my second annual girls night in make your own cupcake pops. I baked 5 cakes and balled over 300 for everyone to make their desired amount. All day Wednesday I had women come over and shape, dip, and sprinkle their pops - I was so impressed and had a lot of fun - and once again my kitchen has cute sprinkles all over! (sorry no pictures too - Thompson was up partying with the ladies, so I was busy taking care of him)

Madison's hair for her Valentine Party!

Jackson playing bingo at his party - I made heart shaped sugar cookies for his class to decorate and eat!

Madison at her party - making her Valentine bag. She loved her "Justice" heart t-shirt. I made cupcakes for her class (she has a boy in her class that has a peanut allergery, so I made a box cake and frosting) - I got to the school had the boys in the stroller, picked up the tupperware box of cupcakes and splat the bottom came out and cupcake mess all over the sidewalk - so for some reason I was not bring cupcakes to Madison's party. Maddy was a little bit disappointed, but really they didn't have time to eat cupcakes at the party anyways - so everything was good!

Dawson! I brought a fun number bingo to his party - the other room mom was a big help and headed up this party!


Last but not least, I helped a Young Women in our ward with a wedding cake for her Mom's wedding. She helped with the roses, smoothing the fondant and the ribbon. She was very proud.

"Tink"


Loved making this cake - I wish Maddy would ask me to make a princess cake for her!
