Summertime its coming to an end..

Going into this summer I hoped it would be full of making memories!

Guess What?

I think we accomplished that.

Most of this post will be pictures,

but to me pictures are worth a thousand words.

Some of the Highlights were:

Playing night games with kids from the neighborhood

Fishing at Puffers Lake

Camping

blanket forts

Family Game nights

Going to Lowe’s extreme Air sport

Long car rides

Shaved Ice

Cousin time

Movies at the district

Water Parks

Mini Golf

Bee’s Game

Cabelas

Fireworks

and many more activities!

I’m most grateful that all my kids are still home with me.

That they like to hang out with there Mom.

That we aren’t just family but we are best friends!

Art and Craft Party turning 11

Over a week ago Whit turned 11..

20130807_141958

It was a super fun party with a bunch of girls.

she let me pretty much decide what to do, her

instructions were: a home party,

make something, and must have a 3 tier cake.

So this is what I came up with.

The Invitation: I cut traced and cut them out. Then punched 2 in circles out with a punch and glued them on.

Art Project: First you glue on the crayons and then you get a hair blow dryer and the crayons starts melting. Make sure you have a big box for the wax to fall into. They turned out so COOL.

Cake time: Mini 3 tier cakes, I baked them the day before and put them in my fridge so they would be firm. Tons of icing later and girls making even a bigger mess. They turned out so cute!

Presents and eating: The party was longer than expected the kids had to call there parents to come later.

The Art Project took the longest and so did decorating there cakes,

I didn’t think they would be such perfectionist at this age but they

are. Whitney loved her party and also her moon shoes. She told me

several times how much fun and how much she appreciated

her party.

We are still kind of in shock that she is growing up so

fast. She is such a great helper, with Payton, Cooking, Cleaning,

just about anything we ask her to do.

Real quick 11 things about Whitney are:

1. She love to have fake nails

2. She loves music

3. She loves the color Purple

4. She loves Horses

5. She loves to make things

6. She loves to bake

7. She loves to play with friends

8. She loves to camp and go to the cabin

9. She loves her back scratched

10. She loves to have her picture taken

11. She loves all kinds of fruit

We adore her and are so grateful that we get to be your parents.
