HaPpY 1st BiRThDaY ETHAN!!!

Okay, I know I am a bit behind on posting, but I wanted to share some of our Christmas pictures!

Discovery Toys

Okay, so this is my sales pitch! I found some new toys that I (and my boys) just love, and the best part, is that they also learn so much from these toys. They are GREAT! And so, yes, I am now selling them. If you are interested in buying some toys, coming over to my house to try some of them out, or you want to host a party let me know!!!

Blog Header

So, I have had a lot of people ask about my blog headers. I do make them myself, they are just simple, but do add just a bit of fun & flare to your blog. Let me know if any of you are interested in a custom header, and I'll see what I can do!

Not having a good day

A couple weeks ago I had to take Ethan to the doctors office, just not feeling well. And lets just say he ended up feeling a lot worse, I am sure. We ended up having to get his blood drawn, and I swear we were sitting there for over 20 minutes, me holding him down and them trying so hard to get just 2 vials of blood. Lets just say it was not the best experience for the poor little guy.

Cakes...Cakes...Cakes....

I am really enjoying my cake class. Here is the latest and greatest (greatest...questionable?). I know, I know, you are all wondering when you can start putting in orders for wedding and birthday cakes! Okay, I might be getting a little ahead of myself, but I am having a blast, and hey who knows may be you'll see my on the next episode of Ace of Cakes!

This is one of the "favorite" toys of Brock's. He gets pretty creative when he is putting them all together. He has 2 big and 2 small potato heads, so he makes mom, dad, Brock and Ethan. And for some reason, I always get stuck with the monkey nose! He did a great job with Ethan's, the purple shoes and elephant nose, and don't you just love the glasses and mustache for Brock?

Don't Laugh

Okay everyone, this is my first cake. I am still trying to work on my frosting consistency, so the chocolate frosting did not set up very well. Okay, I need more practice, okay, okay, I need a lot of practice. At least the stars and dots were pretty cute!?

Best Buds

Brock and Ethan were watching a movie together. It was the cutest thing ever. It was a movie with farm animals, so Brock was telling Ethan what the names of all the animals were. Ethan just watched and listened. So cute. Brock is so good with Ethan. They are best buds!

Go REAL!!!

We took the boys to the REAL Playoff game against Chivas! It was lots of fun. It was a really exciting game with a win for REAL, the winning and only goal scored in the 90th minute! GO REAL!

What a little Stud!

As I was getting Brock dressed for Church I was realizing how big he is getting, he is growing up so fast! He is such a little stud, and so HANDSOME!!!!!

Canning!

So I have been tapping into the canning world. I canned Strawberry jam, well lets clearify, in some batches strawberry syrup (but still super yummy on pancakes!) I also canned pears! I know, I know, I am becoming very daring!

Snow - Snow - Snow

Today was our first big snow storm! The boys and I bundled up, went outside to scrape the driveway and play in the snow. This was Ethans first encounter with snow, and at first was not too sure about it, but then loved it. We had so much fun!

My New Thing~

So, I started a new class last night and I am going to love it! Cake Decorating! It is going to be so fun. I am not sure how good I will be at it. But it will give me another creative outlet during those nights with no husband during busy season. So, all you who like cake, here is your chance to get some free practice cake! Okay, so this is not a picture of a cake I made, but there will be pictures coming soon of my new talent. (hopefully they will be post worthy!)

My Boys & their Rides

They are best buddies! Ethan is trying to follow Brock every where, he is becoming Brock's little shadow.

Disneyland!!

Some of Brock's favorite rides!

California Trip - We loved the Beach

Mommy and the BOYS! I am so blessed to have 2 wonderful boys. They are so fun. Ethan is 8 1/2 months and Brock is now 2 1/2 yrs old. They are getting so big and growing up so fast, I am realizing that I really have to take advantage of this time that I have with them. Even though at times it may get super crazy, I am cherishing every minute with them!!! I love my BOYS!

Brock is our little adventurer. He LOVES the outdoors. This is one of his FAVORITE places to go, Grandma and Grandpa Ploeger's cabin. He loves going on walks and playing with his cousin Alyssa and Cassidy. He enjoys sight seeing for deer, chipmunks, horses, cows, rocks and sticks. While at the cabin he also LOVES riding on the "18 wheelers" (4-wheelers).
