HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANALEISE

Wow I can't believe I am a mother of an 11 year old. Time flies when you're having fun I guess. I remember it like it was yesterday, the day Analiese was born. She was the cutest little thing. Here she is on the blanket that I cross-stitched for her. I feel bad that she didn't have the funest birthday, she was sick. In fact the whole family was sick and all the kids were home from school. I don't know what bug we have but it's a nasty one. I felt so terrible I didn't even make her peppermint dessert for her birthday. I told her I would make it later and we would celebrate. I did manage to make her favorite breakfast though, egg pancakes, and I even stuck a candle in it. Hope she knows how much we love her and are happy she's in our family. Love you Analeise and Happy Birthday

SUNDAY TREAT

So every Sunday afternoon Chad gets a craving for cake mix. He's gotten it down to an art. He puts a little dry cake mix in a bowl, adds some water and a little flour, so it's not so sweet, and mixes it up. He of course leaves out the eggs, so he doesn't get sick. He and the kids love it, they haven't quite convinced me, I'll stick to chocolate chips. So he gave Tessa a bowl this Sunday and when I went to check on her this is what I found, she was in heaven.

4 SQUARE

The kids love to play 4 square at school and are quite good at it. So the other day we taped of a 4 square in the kitchen with duct tape and electrical tape and they had a blast. We don't have a 4 square ball so we used a basketball, works just as well, just don't get hit in the face. Chad and I even joined in the fun. It's interesting to see who is competitive and who just likes to have fun. Dallin sure gets into a lot more than the girls.

Will someone please play with me?
