Gingerbread Madness

Imagine-a dream. A concept, if you will, starting with "wouldn't it be fun if . . ." and ending with this picture. Last year Laura, Betsy and I built gingerbread houses and thought it might be fun if we entered Logan City's gingerbread competition, mostly because you get to have your creation displayed in the window of one of Main Street's businesses. I said Cinderella's Castle might be fun and would you look here-we've done it. For a step-by-step process, you're welcome to look at Laura's blog barlowbuzz.blogspot.com or follow the link on the right side of mine. I think we're a little crazy (Laura is crazier thought, because she's been the one so obsessed that she's dreaming about the silly thing.) But it's been fun, it's turning out beautiful and I'm excited for next year! I'll be going to Logan on Friday and I'll head over to Poco Loco where our 'Mona Lisa' will be displayed and get a picture of the final project and post it here. We're also going to try and get Disney to post a picture on their employee web site, so we'll see!

Oh my gosh, Andrea! I just saw the pictures on Laura's blog....holy crap, that is awesome! I knew that you all were talented at sewing, singing, and hysterical people to be around, but I had know idea that you are all fantastic gingerbread-sters...? Not sure what to call it, but it's freaking cool.

A Moment to Enjoy...How Cute They ARE!

Image
I just had a few fun pics laying around and I thought I'd share them. I just love my girls and have so much fun with them! And I love how Kyra wants to be just as big as her sisters. The girls loved playing in the snow this winter and Allie remembered too much of "A Christmas Story" and started yelling "I can't put my arms down" when I got her dressed up! She even made me try to push her arms down and she'd pop them back up. :) After every bath or shower, the Emma and Alliehave to have turbans put in their hair! And Kyra, of course, needs one too!

Twinkle Toes

On June 14th, Emma and Allie were able to demonstrate how skilled they have become in dancing lessons this year in their recital. They danced to the Wonder Woman theme and In The Navy by Men at Work. Anyway, the point is, they looked so cute I just had to show you too! I'm working on getting video footage of their dances so you can watch. Obviously, I still haven't learned rotation yet . . .

Philosophies of Emma

Image
So Emma is already talking about what she wants to do for her birthday in July. She wants it to be Princess and the Frog themed (a little funny, since that's sort of what Allie had). Anyway, has it very specific in her mind. E: I want Princess and the Frog, and I want to invite only girls. M: Alright hon, that sounds fine. How about we talk about it closer to your birthday? E: Except, I want to invite Uncle Ty. M: Okay, but I thought you wanted to invite only girls? E: Well Mom, we will need a FROG! So to my sweet brother out there. Thanks for being such a great frog, from birth until now! (For those of you who don't know, he had jaundice so bad at birth that he was green...)
