Demo Time!!

Here are some photos of what we have been up to for house projects...

Taking down the old horse-hair plaster..this time in the boys room. That stuff makes a mess! Before the dust was bad, Dad let Noelle and Hannah take a few whacks at the wall. Noelle winds up for a hit!!

After watching Noelle, Hannah tries her hand at it as well!!

The whole room is stripped down to the studs and insulation will soon be tacked up. It should make a huge difference with heating/cooling seeing as there was no insulation in the walls!

Valentine Party

My very special friend, Sarah, hosted a Valentine's party in February. We all had a great time!! Sarah was an excellent host and we enjoyed AMAZING food, a good movie, and having fun together. Oh, not to mention I got to wear a very formal dress (which since my aunt's wedding [I was the flower girl] I have not gotten to wear a pretty dress like that!!). Here are a some pictures...

(This picture was supposed to be at the bottom of the post, but it wouldn't move.)

Us after our delicious dinner getting our pictures taken together!!

Sarah snapped this picture of me doing hair prior to dinner.

Didn't she do such a nice job on the table?!?!

Our table setting complete with our own menu and dish of conversation hearts!!

After dinner holding our roses and being a little goofy!!

Thank you Sarah!!

Little Ones

I know that the setting and lighting for these pictures wasn't the greatest, but I think that the subjects totally make up for it!!

I LOVE this one!!

Doughnuts!!

Recently we made some really, really yummy doughnuts for a special family breakfast treat. Here are the results...

Along with her smile, Hannah wears some powdered sugar on her face!

Before being fried...


After frying. (As you probably guessed, we made chocolate and plain.)
Katie REALLY wanted some, but we had to turn down her request of smiles and the opening of her mouth!! :)

Timmy approved of the doughtnuts!!

Mini Photo Shoot

With adorable little siblings, a new Nikon. and cold, snowy days, what better thing to do than have a mini photo shoot!! I let the kids choose their poses to keep things relaxed, and I think the results were very satisfying. Don't you??

My beautiful mommy holding Katie Bug!!

I guess Katie couldn't decide if she wanted to smile or not!!

Ginger Bread Houses

When Grandpa came up to do his annual "Santa" trip in December, he stayed for the weekend and made gingerbread houses with us. I have to salute him for taking on such an endeavor with all of us!! Here are a few pictures...

Chris and Isaiah worked together on a gingerbread house, but Chris handled most of the construction....

And Isaiah decorated it!!
Katherine wasn't so sure of the whole thing even though Grandpa assured here it was okay :)

Bekah and Hannah worked together on a house, but Beth helped during the construction phase.

After loads of icing and bags of candy, they were completed!!

Thank you Grandpa!!! Oh, and we also have to say a huge thank you to Grammy for letting him come and play with us!!!
