Christmas Cards

Just wanted to share the Christmas cards I made this year. I had a lot of fun making them. I used the Whale Of A Punch for the circles and a Fastenator for the metal part of the ornaments.

Crazy Weather

It was in the 60's yesterday! Unheard of in January in Michigan. The boys and I played outside a lot and just enjoyed it. I took some pictures and thought this one was just so cute!!!

Birthday Party Extraordinaire

We finally had Nevin's birthday party...a month late. But it was well worth the wait! We had it at our local recreation center that has an awesome pool! It was soo fun! The water slide was a blast. Nevin and his friends had such a great time! Kieran wasn't sure what to think of so much water but he warmed up to it. We can't wait to go back! So without further adieu...here are the pictures. Notice the cool, made from scratch cake? It's totally vegan...shhh! :)







P.S. I got the recipe for the cake from The Vegan Lunch Box cook book. I love that book!

Holly Jolly Christmas

We had such a wonderful Christmas! I think everyone got what they wanted and the kids have been having so much fun with their new toys! This year we made a conscious effort to get Kieran natural toys that were NOT made in China. He got a lot of Plan Toys, Haba, Holztiger and more. Nevin was a little more tricky. Since he's older, he knows exactly what he wants...so he got some Dragon Ball Z action figures(too bad they are made in China though), Guitar Hero 3 and some games. We are all having a blast with Guitar Hero! Although I pretty much suck at it...it's still a lot of fun!!! Here are some pics from our Christmas. It's so hard to narrow down all of the hundreds of pictures we took. I wish I could share them all! Hope everyone had a fabulous Christmas!!!! Happy New year!!!







I love Kieran's eyes. They remind me of my Mom's eyes...big, beautiful, brown eyes.

The Stockings Were Hung...

Christmas Is Coming

So we finally have our tree up. We still have some last minute shopping to do and I still have nothing to wear! Why does it have to be so stressful? I mean it's fun and I LOVE it...it is my favorite holiday after all but jeez.

I am having my root canal finished on sat morning...fun times! Not looking forward to that but so glad that I won't be in pain anymore...yippee!!!

We had a play date today! It was great. My friend came over with her almost 2 year old little girl (who has a crush on Nevin...too cute!) and the 9 month old baby boy that she babysits for. It was great having some adult interaction.

This week Kieran has started the whole not sharing thing. Oh boy...I do not like this phase. Every time on of the other little ones has one of his toys he flipped out. Seriously...he just started doing this, out of the blue, yesterday! He never use to care before. Speaking of Kieran...he's awake! Gotta go. More later. :D

Happy Birthday Nevin!

Yesterday my little boy turned 10!!! So hard to believe and boy does it make me feel old. Just Saturday we were at the mall, looking at clothes and I said that a shirt was "totally awesome" and he rolled his eyes at me! Just like I use to roll my eyes at my Mom when she tried to act cool. So I said "what Nev, is that not the cool thing to say? Whats the cool thing to say nowadays? Rad, groovy, rockin', totally sweet?" ROFL! He looked at me like I was some alien and said "Mom you're too old to act cool". Whoa!

Josh made Nevin a macaroni and cheese pizza! He just came up with the idea and suprised him with it. Nevin LOVED it. Said it was the best pizza he's ever had...better than regular pizza and way better than regular mac and cheese. I wish I had gotten a picture! Then we sang Happy Birthday and had some yummy cake.

I'll post pics and a video soon! :)
