January Birthdays

The best thing about January: We start by celebrating Mom's birthday and end by celebrating Kristi's! It's the simple version of a "Month full of Birthdays."

This is the smile of a happy mother. I love you Mom!

(Heather had to keep pulling the cake back 'cause Kolytn kept trying to blow it out, silly boy. Finally Kristi just had to blow really hard. Of course, the boy scrambled off her lap as soon as they were out.)

(Everyone says my camera is really old. But does an old camera get this good a picture in dim light? I bet you couldn't even tell that the lights were off.)

A Cracker Barrel Experience

Last thursday I had the awesome opportunity to join two of my bestest friends to a late night "dinner," though actually we order breakfast. Originally we were planning on going to IHOP but then my friend Haley saw the sign for Cracker Barrel while we were exploring Bass Pro Shop and pleaded that we change the restaurant. It was so much fun being with my friends in a place that has meant so much to me through my childhood, I just needed to draw it!

As the picture shows: my friend Shelley (who wore a hat, which is extremely rare), me, and my friend Haley (whom was very excited for this adventure).

Baby-sitting in January

After a confusing week trying to figure out who exactly I was babysitting Saturday evening, I was finally landed with the Johnson kids! We had an amazing time watching "Phineas and Ferb the 2nd Dimension," the sorcerer's apprentice," and "Wall-E." We picked oranges and juiced them (unfortunately they wouldn't eat them, even after Ii found one as big as Kotlyn's head!) The night was filled with burning cheese crisps, ice cream, diaper changes, legos, and finished with a fort. My favorite part? Finding this boy while calling to him to come get his ice cream.

Every time I told Karter to smile he would stick his spoon in his mouth, silly boy!~
