I got lucky!
I went to my 6th picture folder and chose the 6th picture.

Little Butterball Liam!



I really need to go through my folders and clean up and edit the photos. This was a great reminder of that.

So, I guess this is how it works. I now tag 6 someones.

I'm tagging Shauna, Carrie, Stephanie, Mallorie, Megan, and Christie
Now go to your pictures files and choose the 6th folder and the 6th picture in that folder.
Then tag 6 people.

A Big Milestone!

The day has finally arrived........


Max learned to ride his two wheeler!

He has wanted to do this for a long long time, but he used to get really frustrated and have a lot of fear and trepidation. I don't know why.

But today he finally did it just like it was no big deal.

Notice the helmet on backwards. hee hee

Way to go Max!
I am so proud of him!!
Look out spring and summer -- here we come!!

P.S. If you were one of my neighbors watching me run down the street to take these pictures -- stop laughing so hard and tell no one what you saw!

Lipstick Love!


That's right folks! This is not the first photo of her in my lipstick.
Our little miss has a little love affair going on with lipstick!!

Good color though, don't you think?

Cheap Fun!!!

My kids love Legos and other building toys, but today I discovered I never needed to spend lots of money for them to have fun!

Today at Max's preschool they built things out of marshmallows and toothpicks.
Max loved it so much he wanted to do it at home.



Anders decided to join him and they had a fun time comparing structures.

I was pretty impressed with their building skills.


And with how quiet and focused they were.

They were pretty proud -- {the good kind.}


Maybe they will be architects or engineers.
OR
Maybe they'll just have fun being kids!

Oh so loverly!

There is a really talented artist named Sarah Jane and I LOVE LOVE LOVE everything she does. I feel like she really captures the innocence and sweetness of childhood.

I have this one already thanks to a wonderful sister-in-law.
(But, I still need to get it framed. Why is it so rootin' tootin' hard to find great, affordable, white frames? That's a whole different post.)

Check out some of these others. There are so many beautiful ones I couldn't choose one favorite!!!
Love this one!!!


They make me feel....happy.



They make me feel at peace.

I just find her so incredibly talented. She is a local girl and sometimes has a booth at the Beehive Bazaar, but she wasn't there this last time. So, maybe she will return in the spring.

Until then, check out her Etsy shop (I love Etsy!) here.

I so wish I was an artist. If I could create things this beautiful my house would be my gallery.

And I would be filled with complete JOY!

Aren't these sweetly delicious?!

I found a few very fun cookie cutters on Amazon.

I don't usually go nuts over sugar cookies, but with fun cookie cutters, it makes me want to whip up a batch just to admire their cuteness.

How fun and springy do these look?
They make me want to sing "Spring is bustin' out all over!" {Name that musical}
Of course, they make me want spring to be bustin' out all over, EVEN MORE! (It is so cold and dreary today.)

How cute are these little lovies?!



I happen to love the little bugs and I love that they're little!!! These would be so cute added onto a cake or on top of cupcakes.

I really want to use these. Or better yet,

Someone make me some sweetly delicious cookies!!
