Bryn is 6!

For Bryn's 6th birthday in August we put together a Candyland birthday party. It was a ton of work, but she and her friends had so much fun- it was definitely worth it!

We had several games and activities for the kids which included:

Candy Cane Limbo

Candy Toss

Candy Necklaces

Queen Frostine's Cupcake Decorating

Gumball Relay

Bryn with all her friends and cousins.

We ended the party by giving out cotton candy and Bryn opening all of her fun presents.

Bryn wanted to go to Red Robin for her birthday dinner, so she shared it with Brandon for his birthday too. She had a great time! Love you Miss Bryn!

Maddie has always had a creative streak sometimes too creative, so when it came time for the annual Reflections Contest at school she hounded me almost every day to let her make something. Of course at the last minute, we decided that she would make a salt-dough sculpture. The theme was "Beauty Is...", so I asked her what she thought beauty was and she immediately came up with a butterfly (whew, she picked an easy one)! She made the dough, formed the butterfly, and painted it. She was beaming with joy when she took it to school that day! Well, a few days later she came home and said she had won. At first I didn't believe her because they didn't send anything home... until I got the call that she had won first place for her grade. They took a picture of her sculpture and now she is entered in the regional contest. I thought it was pretty neat, and I learned an important lesson- I need to let Maddie be creative even if it does make a big mess!

Who Wants a Watch?!?! (Part I)

My sister has taken up the watch making hobby lately, so I asked her if I could take pictures of the bands she has made so I could try and sell a few on my blog. If you like the bead look that is the totally "in thing" right now- I think you will like these. The bands are interchangeable with the watch faces and are $20 a piece. If you would like a band with a watch face the cost is $32. This is just an example of what she can put together, but she will also look for different colors or styles if you ask. If you would like more information about them or want to order one leave a comment and we will get in touch with you... thanks for looking!
