Book Find

I found a great book that has helped us during the cold, snowy, rainy days. Cut-Paper Play by Sandi Henry. I got my copy at the library (I guess I will have to return it sometime.) Each activity is labeled Level 1-3. You usually only need construction paper, scissors, and tape/glue.

Rebecca and her frogs.

It gave us an opportunity to talk about frogs. Even though Rebecca still think frogs eat pretzels.

Benjamin helped also.

Do you have a book that has given you ideas for crafts? I would love to find new books and ideas.

Benjamin's First Birthday Party!

Benjamin had his first birthday party this past Sunday. It was a wonderful day (except for the throwing up at the beginning of the day.) We had Chad's parents over for dinner. We had wonderful food, good conversation and fun with the kids.

Benjamin's 1st Birthday Cake

Not so much fun with the dinner, where is the cake and ice cream.

Three generations of Dansie Boys.

Finally cake!!

Don't touch the candle.

I blew out the candle myself.
Daddy is so proud of me.

It is so much easier to eat when the cake and ice cream are on the tray itself.

Just a little bite.

The plate is good to.

Look mommy how dirty I am.
After a quick both time to open presents. Maybe my sister will help me.
Now I have my own car to chase my sister around with.
Gooooooo Utes.
A perfect life sitting in a dump truck with cars in both hands.
We had a lot of fun. Benjamin and Rebecca are enjoying Benj's new toys.

My VIP Girl

Rebecca was the VIP in her Preschool last week. I made a poster displaying how wonderful she is which hung in the classroom all week. Rebecca also got to be the teachers helper during that week. Rebecca brought a treat to share with her class.

My Baby Turned 1

How is it possible that a whole year has gone by. It seems like Benjamin was born yesterday. Chad and I were very excited to have him join our family. He has been all boy from the beginning. Chad is very excited to have another helper. Rebecca truly loves him (besides some bits of jealousy). I can tell they are going to be best buds for a very long time. Benjamin has been my cuddle bug, always giving me the best hugs.

What happens when you have a big sister.

Benjamin always has a smile.

Male vs Female...Trucks vs Barbies

I'm one!!!

We love you Benjamin and you have brought a lot of joy into our lives.

Halloween Time

I know that Halloween was a week ago but here are our pictures. Rebecca totally understood the trick or treat concept this year. She ran from house to house. Chad was not able to meet up with us until 7 pm but the kids and I had went out at 5:30. We trick or treated for another 30 minutes with Chad (even with a little rain drizzle). Afterwards we went to Grandma and Grandpa's for some more treats. We had a fun night. We ran into some friends and Rebecca was able to go door to door with friends

Benjamin the frog prince and Rebecca the fairy princess.

The only smile I got from Benjamin wearing his hat.

My wings are failing.

Let me show you were your eyes are supposed to go.

A kiss from a princess will turn you into a prince again.
