13 and counting

Happy 13th Wedding Anniversary to us. Levi and I stayed in the Treasure Island Room at the Anniversary Inn in Boise. We had a great time!






Knee'd I say more?

Oliver and I were chatting about how I am going to be getting my knee brace off on Wednesday, when I go into my doctors appointment. I was telling him how I would be able to do more things like I used to do. He says , "Oh like beating up Daddy and tickling him. And you can make cookies again!."

Sleeping Beauty

My niece Charlie feel asleep while we were watching Cake Boss. She is taking up half the bed. I have enough room, but not sure were Levi will sleep tonight.

Do You Know The Muffin Man?


...The Muffin Man!?

We are busy making our yearly ornament for friends and family. And when I say 'we' I mean the kids make one each and I have made about 40.

This year we picked these half eaten gingerbread men. They are surprisingly easy to make and each one ends up being truly unique. (Some look more tortured than others)
