Jack Attack!

"Big D" Basketball

I made this video for the coaches and parents on Dalton’s basketball team. Thought you might like to see Dalton's mad skills on the court!

(Jack's video will be coming to a theater near you shortly)

My Latest Cake Creation

My friend Marina was throwing a baby shower for her friend and asked if I would make the baby shower cake. It was a different experience making a cake for someone else. It was much more nerve racking, and I was much more critical of myself. Plus I decided to try and use fondant for the first time...what was I thinking?

GENIUS!

Why couldn't I think of something like this? http://www.babyplays.com/ . This is a website that runs like Netflix except instead of getting videos in the mail you get toys! You can get on different levels of membership depending on how many toys you want delivered to your house per month. Then when your done with them you send them back and get a new set of toys. I want a membership to this for Christmas! It's like getting new toys every month with out the clutter of keeping them. I also like that you can discover what toys your child really likes before actually purchasing it.

I guess the only downfall is slobbery toys. The website says they are sanitized. Really the only toys that would get slobbery are the ones for little guys. Dalton and Jack no longer drool on their toys?! And if your kids are in school or at church they are sharing "used" toys.

Be Mine Velentine

The kids, Matt, and I worked on Valentines all weekend. Last night we worked on making valentines for residents at a nursing home. We went to the nursing home to deliver Valentines and socks to the residents. The kids had so much fun and it was so great to see the kids interact with the older people of the home. They did such an awesome job talking with the people and being friendly!

We also worked on the kids' Valentines for school. I decided that we should make their Valentines instead of buying them. It turned out great, and we all had fun working together to make them. Avery made mice with suckers in the back to make a tail. The boys made "camo" hearts with cute sayings on them.
