Better late than never

Maizy was in the school production of Peter Pan this year and was a star (narrator). She did it with her cousins Lily, Sam and Asher. As fun as it was, it is nice to have one event over with. They all did so great and looked so cute!

Maizy and Lily. Star and Nana

Mother, Bell and Dan came to visit! We had lots of fun but didn't get nearly enough crafting done. Not to mention how much trouble she is in for not letting me in on her pregnancy! She even baited me by telling me she had gained so much wait and her chin was bigger since she hadn't been running in a while. Oh yeah, and she didn't want spaghetti because it made her sick. What a big fat liar! (although, when you get sick and go the instacare and they give you an IV your mother and sister talk about it on the phone and say "Yup, she's pregnant")

The girls thought it was so fun to have one more girl to dress-up and play with. Apparently Stori now loves everyone BUT me. Yes that is sheet-rock they are playing on! It is now hung in my laundry room/hall/pantry and the wallpaper is supposed to arrive tomorrow!(side note, the mouse is now dead)

Don't ask me...I haven't a clue what happened to this poor cake. Maizy is taking pictures, Happy Birthday Dan!!

Oh wait, here we are, Joel's birthday. He turned the big 37!! EEEK!

Yes, we got Miles on the snowmobile almost voluntarily this time. I think as much as he would like to deny it, he enjoyed himself a little.

Which brings me to Valentines day. Maizy made the cutest little cards for every member of her class. They said "a little bird told me" and there was bird print paper on the front, and when you opened it is says "That you are Kool, Valentine" and it was taped to a pouch of Kool aid. Miles signed his name 41 times with out complaining! Joel came home that night and was holding his arms behind his back and made me choose one and he pulls out this!...okay the picture won't load. But it is a gigantic rock full of enormous calcite crystals! I screamed a little. Greatest valentines present of all time. He even found it at the mine! He also gave me chocolate, but that doesn't really compare now does it? Saturday we spent the whole day scraping off wall paper. It seems like just yesterday Mother and I hung it... twice. I am now, officially caught up!
