Welcome Little One

I became a new auntie a few weeks ago. Adam and Eve just welcomed little Lydia to their family. We went down to spend the week with them for Spring Break. Bruce and Parker skied while the girls and I enjoyed playing with the girlies. Sweet Lydia is just 2 days old here.

These little piggies

We do not have an excuse for our brief hiatus; just that we have been living life and Parker has been taking care of pigs. This little piggy came home with us.
this little piggy is the same
These two piggies are brother and sister
This little piggy is just thirsty (Parker's piggy again)
This little piggy is hungry
and this little piggy is perfect in every way...This is the little one that Parker picked to raise for the fair. He doesn't want to name it so the girls have lovingly named him Wilbur

Birthday Wishes

Happy Birthday Ladies! My girls are no longer kids anymore. They have entered the teenage phase. They have grown into beautiful young women. They celebrated their 13th birthday with friends, yummy treats and chocolate of course.

Fabulous Fifteen

Not everyone can say that they were serenaded on their fifteenth birthday. Can you only imagine Parker's sheer delight. To give you a little background: On Valentine's Day the high school has a fund raiser where you can send a singing telegram to that someone special. The kids in choir then deliver it. Three of Parker's friends are in choir and they decided to send him one. It was from Disney's Enchanted "How will she know". They embarrassed him on Valentine's in front of his Science class with the singing. On his birthday these same friends decided to perform it again with the encouragement of the rest of his friends and of course me. I recorded it but am not having luck putting it on the blog so until I figure it out I just have to put this one picture to capture the pure JOY on Parker's face, it says it all. Happy Birthday Bud!

Snow is everywhere

Everything was dusted in white this morning. We received another inch of snow last night. So I decided to incorporate the snow theme into the birthday treats. They turned out yummy. We made double the batch so we could all enjoy them too. We are just getting in the creating mode for this weekend. The girls want one monster cake; 4 layer whopper cake. We made it last year but only did two layers. Parker wants cheese cake. It will be a sweet weekend.

Just for You

We just want to wish you a Happy Valentine's Day, to all of those we love. Since we didn't know which one to send; just pick the one you want and know that we made it with love. If there is not one that best suites you, then you can just go and make your own and pretend it is from us. Love and kisses.

 

Happy Sweets Day

Look what I made for my Valentine's this year. A friend gave me the recipe. Chocolate Truffles: Crushed up Oreos mixed with cream cheese and dipped in light and dark chocolate - a heart attack in a box. They turned out yummy delicious. How do I know? I had to sample them again, and again, and again. This box was for Bruce and the kids each got a little bag. I don't believe they were too happy with just several in a bag, but they can share with their dad (that is if he hasn't shared them all with me).
