HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY!!

Ms A loves to ask "What holiday is next, mommy?" So when it was time for St Patrick's Day, she was very excited to finally wear her St Patrick's socks. (last year they were a little big and who wants to wear BIG socks?!?) I scoured the internet looking for a cute idea for clothes to wear and I came across this. I {{LOVE}} the saying. Ms A and I went out to purchase the paint, glitter and tee-shirt. My dear friend, Lisa, gave me some of her stash of freezer paper and we were ready to create. (Thanks L!!)

After my Silhouette finished cutting out the template, we had a little "girl" time, we painted and sprinkled *glitter* all over the image. {What girl doesn't LOVE GLITTER?!?} Ms A giggled and loved every creative moment. I tried not to control the painting, :) We had a great time together. Sadly, no pictures of the process, but here are a couple pictures of the final product.


In my search for fun St Patrick's Day clothing, I found this and knew we had to try it out. Instead of pistachio pudding or Oreo pudding, I chose cheesecake pudding and colored it green. I also used peanut butter cups in gold wrapping instead of the Dove and Oreo goodies. Ms A and I assembled it after school today.

Showing off dessert.

Enjoying a Little Spring

Ms A and I went to pick up our house plans and decided to swing by the Portland Temple to walk the grounds and see the pretty flowers. (The temple always has beautiful colors and grounds.) While we were there, we enjoyed the company of two duck swimming in the water feature and seeing a "grandma" bride. Ms A was thrilled with both! We also shared some giggles when the pictures had Ms A growing a temple spire or a water fountain out of her head. She also had to touch the water (a normal {NEED}). Here are a few pictures from our day.

February Fun

Some of our adventures in February.

Valentine Waffles

Ms A's class had a fun Valentine's Party where they played a game with Oreo Cookies. There goal of the of the game was to get the Oreo cookies from their forehead to their mouth without using anything but their face muscles.

When Ms A and Reed came home, they had some Valentine Goodies. YUM!!

A couple of days later we woke up to snow! Ms A asked if she could play in it, but it melted before playing could occur. When Ms A came home, we had hail! Ms A had a fun time checking out the hail after the storm.
Yesterday Intel had a Winter Celebration at the Memorial Coliseum. They invited all of there full time employees and their family -- LOTS OF PEOPLE!! We had a great time and Ms A was able to experience ICE SKATING for her FIRST TIME! (Thanks Jen and Garry) She had a BLAST!!

A week later, Reed and Ms A went skating at another rink. Not bad for her second time.

Happy Valentine's Day

Ms A had her Kindergarten Valentine's Day Party today, so we spent Saturday making cards for her classmates. We had a fun time creating some cards.
Since I was making cards, I pulled out this picture (shortly after our engagement)
and made this for my sweet valentine.

Then, I showed Reed this card and he laugh. Definitely hit the nail on the head.
