P's first field trip

Parker went on his first field trip! I was really glad I got to go with him! They went to the fire station and learned about fire safety. Here is Parker with the ladies! My boy is such a stud! Parker got to squirt the fire hose! He had a lot of fun, and was pretty good at it. Maybe he will be a fireman when he grows up. He enjoyed being a "big boy" fireman.

P's preschool group! His class is a lot smaller, but for field trips everyone gets together and goes. It is nice because then the mom's get to visit!

Here is Parker talking to the fireman. I think it is great they show the kids what the firemen look like so they don't get scared of them if there is a fire. Parker got to give him nucks and it made him a very happy boy!

Food processor

Electric mixer

1.Take the bar of soap and grate into a bowl.

2. Take the shaved pieces of soap and place in a food processor. Blend until soap is a fine powder.

3. Pour 1/2 c. warm water in to a large mixing bowl. Slowly add 1/4 c. of the soap flakes while beating with the mixer.

4. Continue to beat until mixture resembles whipped egg whites.

5. Spoon soap mixture into individual cups.

Now, GO HAVE FUN!

cousins...

Sarah and her cousin are only 5 days apart. They are so cute together, they like to give each other kisses and Mckinlee just attacks Sarah with loves!I have wanted to make Sarah a tutu for a while. I thought what better time then with her cute cousin. We had a lot of fun making these for the girls and they looked so precious! It is

s0 fun seeing them play together. BTW...does anyone know how to get the words to wrap around the pictures? Any who...I just love how they turned out, too bad Sar was a little grumpy!

p's first day of pre-school!

My little Parker bug started pre-school! I am so proud of him. Parker is such a sweetheart and we love him so much. His pre-school is just around the corner from our house, so we can walk.
It was really bright outside, so poor little P was squinting for the pics, Ryan made fun of me for taking pictures on his first day of pre-school, but I don't care! I was a proud mama! :)

Parker loves to push his sister in the stroller, he just adores her. I love my kiddos, they are so sweet and I couldn't have a better family!
