Wordless Wednesday – I just wanted a nice picture with my daughter

Like finding Jesus on a potato chip…sort of. But not really.

Yesterday Abby woke up from her nap and in her usual fashion told me she was awake by calling me.

By name.

“Keem”

Cute huh?

So I go in to get her and I find her shirtless, sockless, and with strange, alien red marks on her stomach.

She gave that nap a big thumbs up!

I think it might have been funnier had it been a different finger sticking up though.

Merry Christmas, peace on earth, goodwill towards bloggers and other less evolved life forms

From my family to yours, we wish you a safe, happy and healthy Christmas.

And don’t forget the real meaning of Christmas and why we give gifts this time of year. It’s actually a birthday we celebrate, the birth of Jesus Christ.

I’m spending time with my family this year, thankful that we are all here together, and remembering especially, the Ross family. With the loss of their young son Bryson, Christmas will never be the same, but I pray that they can find peace amid the pain.

I will leave you with one of my all-time favorite Christmas songs…

Be like Snoopy.

(except don’t make yellow snow, use the indoor plumbing)

Oh, and Shellie, this one’s for you:

Strange elves, but elves none-the-less...

Who doesn’t celebrate with green cake?

Today was my husband’s birthday and so first thing this morning, I had Jake making him a card. He was hard at work while my husband was still sleeping when our of nowhere he said, “are we making him a cake?”

CRAP

“Well, I don’t have any cake mix” I said. “Maybe we can go to the store later and get one.”

Then my way too smart kid says “Mommy, maybe you can use the stuff in the cabinet to make one.”

RIGHT

CRAP AGAIN

So I used my handy dandy laptop, searched for “make a cake from scratch” and voila!

RECIPES! Including one for frosting and we had all the ingredients!

Jake was ecstatic. He mixed everything himself and picked out the colors and the decorations (yeah so they were leftovers from the kid’s birthdays…).

It was a little dry and heavy for cake but it had a GREAT flavor. And Jake was very proud of his cake!

Happy Birthday babe!

Wordless Wednesday – playing together…sort of

Watching big brother play.

Don't touch my game.

Big jerk.
