Some Easter Pics

This one is my favorite. Sean looks like popeye. They just got up and couldn't wait to get into their baskets. :)

Solar Oven

This is a solar oven that my mom bought while they were out here. My mom made banana bread in it in my backyard. We just used a regular banana bread recipe and loaf pan. It was so cool to see it work and you could smell the bread cooking. It tasted great. Just like you had cooked it in a real oven.

Idaho Trip

My parents came out to visit for a while and we went up to my brother's house in Idaho for a few days. We had a really good visit that didn't last long enough. The kids made cookies together. Which they loved. It was sugar cookie dough that was colored and the kids used it like playdoh. Then you bake them and they keep the shape. We also went to a science museum.

Dinosaur Anyone?

We took the boys out to breakfast this morning and then we told them we had a surprise for them. We took them to the Dinosaur Museum. They loved it. We watched a movie in 3D in the Imax theatre. Sean kept telling the dinosaur's to go away. He didn't like it to much. They had a lot of interactive activities to do and we had a great time. They also got to make their own castings of a T-Rex tooth and a Raptor claw.

Here's a few pictures from Christmas. Some are from Christmas Eve and some are from Christmas morning. We opened our presents from my family on Christmas Eve. We just couldn't wait anymore. :) We had a great Christmas and the boys were spoiled as usual.

We put up our tree last night. We made the chain around the tree. That was Mason's idea. They did a good job decorating it. I didn't have to move to much stuff around.

Gingerbread Houses

We made these little house's over Thanksgiving weekend. The boys have been begging to make gingerbread houses, but I wouldn't let them until after Thanksgiving. They ate more candy then they used on their houses. :)

Sean drew his first letter. :) He was very proud. He drew a pretty good B this morning too. The big mouth open is what he does when you say big smile. And that is a picture of a turkey sitting down he said. :) (Mason wanted his turkey picture up to)

Some Halloween Food

Here are some of the Halloween treat's I made this year. There is a spider cake, ghost petite fours, shrunken heads (baked apples), and sugar cookies.

Adventures in Sewing

I guess I've really gotten into the Apron thing. :) Now I've expanded into making matching potholder's with the leftover material. My next project is a Christmas Apron. I don't have one of those yet.

Painting Pumpkins

I let the boys pick a pumpkin to paint. Sean's is the first one and then Mason's. Mason gave his a blue mustache. I took the pictures before you couldn't see the faces anymore. Mason wants to carve one, but I don't think so. :) Maybe in a few more years. He says when he's eight he can. He's on a count down to everything. He's already talking about driving when he turns sixteen.

:( He wants to grow up so fast.

Picking Pumpkins

We picked the pumpkins from our garden today. The snow this weekend killed all the plants. I still have three pumpkins growing, but I don't know if there going to turn orange. The tomato's are looking pretty good, but I'm not keeping my hopes up. We took these pictures after we picked the pumpkins.

Hallway Sleeper

This is where I found Sean taking his nap last week. It's becoming a habit. I'll put him down for a nap in his bed and then I find him sleeping somewhere else. Has anyone else had this happen?
