With summer and warmer weather well on its way, we have been shopping. Anytime Kristin gets new clothes I always have a marathon of bow making so that she has coordinating bows and this year was no different. The only difference is that I have gone crazy this year with bow making. I have REALLY enjoyed making bows this summer with all of the bright and cheery colored ribbons. I have also recently been making jewelry. I have created a smile box that really displays a lot of my talents. ENJOY the show... you may want to mute the music on my page to get the music from the smilebox!!

Snowman

WE had lots of snow this year. Kristin made her first snowman. It was just little like her, but she had little help from anyone else!!

Kristin's Birthday!!!

Kristin had a pizza party for her birthday. All of her friends dressed up as little chefs, created their own pizza, pinned the hat on the chef and then decorated cookie chefs. They topped it all off eating their creations and the adults enjoyed a cake that was made in the shape of a chef's hat. I could not have pulled off the fun without all of the parental help. It was a blast. Thanks again for all those that helped.

Kristin best friend!!!

Not sure how I made friends when I was young, I don't recall my mom getting me around children my own age before school; no bad feelings though, I mean really there were only a dozen of us at home. Having friends was not something I ever feel like I had a lot of and the ones I did have I was very close too. When I found out I was pregnant I wanted Kristin to have friends or at least have opportunities to make friends. Kristin's best friend is KK. They enjoy going to the park together. Its helps that KK's mommma is my dear friend. She just gets me and accepts me for me. She doesn't judge her daughter is just like her which is why I am sure that Kristin likes her so much. I am sure the fact that they ride bikes together, play zhu zhu pets together watch TV together and go to the park together has nothing to do with why they are friends. Here are some pictures of K and KK at our most recent visit to the park.

Spring!!!

I am hoping to post a series of blogs. They will be in no particular order. The first is about...of course you guessed it, Kristin. Most of the time I really have nothing to say that is why it takes me months to post. Today is no different. Kristin is doing really well. She is continuing with Gymnastics and loves it. She has started going twice a week hopefully training to be on a tumble team in the next year. She on her own accord (im thinking coach may have had something to do with it) has decided that candy isn't healthy for her and threw out all of her Easter candy.. What a waste...the Easter bunny spent good money on that candy. When the Easter bunny visited he left lots of good outdoor toys. He must really know K because she LOVES to be outside. Daddy has been spending lots of time with her as he really enjoys being outside too.. He would probably kill me for one of the pictures I will post but it was just soo priceless. Kristin asked Daddy to be her prince and he willingly agreed. Here is an updated picture of her and one of my personal favorites of her in orange!! I am not sure exactly what I have taught her in the last year...I seem to have lots of pictures of her with her tongue hanging out, maybe it is just too much time with grandma's dogs!! Anyways...hope all enjoy!!
