My Family Loves It

Jamie is 2 years old today! I can’t really believe it but just look at how big she has gotten.
Here she is the day she was born.
This is her first birthday.
For breakfast we gave her a cinamon roll with a candle to start off the day since the boys woke up asking when we’d have [...]

I am not super patriotic or anything but I thought it would be fun and gender neutral since its a party for a boy and a girl. So next Saturday we are having Ben’s 4th and Jamie’s 2nd Red, White & Blue Birthday Party. I’m keeping things simple and not going to go crazy so [...]

Ethan had 2 birthday parties to attend over the weekend! On Sat he went to a swimming party at the YMCA and Sun he went to a bowling party. It was a nice way to end the school year and celebrate with his friends.
We definitely have to go back to bowl with John and [...]

I have been meaning to post about all of the kids birthday parties we’ve had over the years. I am currently planning a 4th of July party for Ben and Jamie since they are born in July and Ben will be 4 this year.  Ethan is already planning his Star Wars party even though he [...]

I decided VERY last minute to make the Easter Bunny cupcakes this morning to bring to our playgroup Easter egg hunt. So they were rushed and not as cute as they usually are but the brown chocolate bunnies were CHOCOLATE so it was worth it to me! In real life they looked cuter than when [...]

I really like baking cookies and Ben likes things that are “double” so I often put the dough close together on the sheet so he can have “double cookies”. I made a triple cookie by accident one day and it gave me the idea to make cookies shaped like Mickey Mouse’s head/ears. I made chocolate [...]

I’ve noticed that my cake and cupcake posts are pretty popular so I am going to post about all the interesting ones I’ve made so far. This snake is not the best of my creations (and I got the idea from a book) but I had just had a baby 11 days before Ben turned [...]

Okay these are the cutest cupcakes I’ve ever made (way better than my cute pig cupcakes!). Ethan had his Monster Party today and these were a big hit. I am a firm believer that cupcakes are so much better than cake for a kid party because each kid got a one of a kind monster [...]

Ethan just turned 5 years old this week and I can’t believe how quickly time passes. He is still my baby even though he is the oldest of our 3 kids! He is getting so big but he’s still at a really fun age and he still gives me kisses and hugs in front of [...]

I am getting ready for Ethan’s 5th Birthday parties, yes parties! He is having a Dino Party this Sat and then a Monster Party the next Sat (what can I say the kid has a lot of friends so we divided it up between playgroup friends and school friends). Anyway since I’m in party mode [...]
