Snicker Snack

Mom makes us "snicker snacks" now, after Miss Molly gave her the idea...peanuts, chocolate chips, marshmallows and raisins...YUM! This afternoon, Kai told Mom "I not want raisins in my bowl. I don't want peanuts either. I just like mershmellows an' chockit chips!" My brother is one smart cookie!

Birthday Bonanza!

In our family, the main birthday seasons are February & March, then the last part of September & first of October!
First we celebrated with Zaritha at her Under the Sea 2nd Birthday! She is so funny shy around lots of people that we didn't hear her say a single word all evening until she opened up her remote control Hummer and Jeep! THEN she got excited. I think she didn't really appreciate the beauty of all the girly princess gifts she got...I'll have to help her learn to love that stuff!







Next was Stella's First Birthday! I think she's saying "Really, you're all singing for me? Awww, you shouldn't have!"










She really liked her books and presents. Me and Naomi and Kai were helping her open.












Kai practiced his photography skills...he actually got some good shots!


















This was Stella's fun cake that Mommy made.













Here are all of us cousins. Me, Kai, Stella, Naomi, and baby Annalise.












This isn't at the party, but it's the same weekend... that's Daddy holding Annalise. She's so cute...we really love her.











Finally, our friend Rock turned 3! I guess he's not technically family, but pretty close. That's out friend Harrison (L) next to Rock (R).











Sewing 101

Mommy and I have been planning to make me a ladybug apron for quite a while. This week we finally got it done! It was really fun to learn what goes into a sewing project. We started with fabric that was left over from decorating my room (my curtains and a throw pillow match):

First I got to cut out the pieces using my new school scissors. I do pretty well cutting from one point to another...just don't draw me a line or I'll spaz out when it's not perfect!

We didn't use a pattern, just measured the pieces on me as we went along.

It was hard work sitting on Mom's lap and being in charge of the pins and backstitch button. I thought we needed to stop and make some funny faces for the camera while we were working.


I looked through Mommy's big box of buttons and picked out the four that I liked the best. We sewed two on each pocket!

I'm very proud of my first sewing project!
