Projects

I have been working on a couple of projects, they are almost done so I figured I would post them.

1. The first one I am going to mention is actually complete and that was the Piano/ Violin Recital that I have been planning for. All of the student's that played did a wonderful job and everything was really nice.

2. Quiet Book- Almost complete, I just have to sew a button on the front to use to keep the book closed. I have put up a couple of the pages. I was excited to use it at church to entertain Alden but he isn't quite old enough for it yet. He is getting there though.

Can you tell I made it from old things. I didn't spend one penny on the whole thing, everything was from something we already had.

3. This one has also changed a lot from how it is in this picture, there is no longer red on the left side, but this is my first oil painting. It was a lot of fun to do and fun to work with oils. Again, I didn't spend anything on this project either, we had everything I used on it even the canvas!

Christmas Cookies!

A couple of weeks ago we decided to make sugar cookies. We ended up making quite a few. Alden loved it, he enjoyed helping cut out some cookies. We were making Christmas Cookies but Alden wanted to make a fish cookie, so that is what he got to eat afterwords was his little fish cookie.


Alden loves eating in his high chair, he used to like to sit on our laps, but now he like to sit in his high chair and eat all by himself. His favorite thing right now is Corn Flakes, he would eat them for breakfast, lunch, and dinner if we let him. He likes other things as well, just the corn flakes are always on top of the fridge so he can point to them, which he does often.
This was taken on Micheal's Birthday, even though it was in the middle of finals, we were able to have a nice dinner and watch a show with cake and ice cream.

3 cubed!!!!!!!!!!

My absolutely amazingly wonderful husband is now 3^3 !!

I don't know if you realize how great this is so I will explain. You are only cubed 4 times in your whole life (unless you live to an incredibly old age of 125). You are cubed at the ages of 1, 8, 27 and 64. The only other thing that you will be 4 times in your life is a factorial. You are only a factorial at the ages of 1, 2, 6, and 24. Michael and I have both passed all of the factorial ages, unless we life to the ripe old age of 120. So now we only get to be cubed and sometimes squared.

Shutterfly

I got my Shutterfly cards in the mail and I love them. For some reason I was thinking they would be much smaller, but they are really nice and larger than expected and they came with all of the envelopes! I picked three different designs, so now the hard part is deciding which ones to send were. Thanks Shutterfly!!

Soccer

Ever since Thanksgiving when Alden saw all of his cousins playing soccer, he has been playing soccer all through the house. It is his favorite thing to do, he kicks this ball we have and chases it for long periods of time. Next time when the cousins get together maybe Alden will be ready to join in! :)

200,000

On Monday night we went out and celebrated our car hitting 200,000 miles. We drove so that we could watch it switch from 199999 to 200000. We went and bought Blue Bell Ice Cream to celebrate!
