This is us... duh. I decided not to edit this picture really (except my very sore head spot which I removed because this IS the internet :-P ) and to include it, even though it is not particularly pretty or artsy because I liked it so much and it is very much... "us" just plain and simple. :-)
I came across this today on a friends facebook and it completely and totally sums up my life and wardrobe choices.


Yep, this is my valentine this year. Cutest one I have ever had! Solly, May I be your valentine till you graduate highschool? (You are NOT allowed to date till then btw) Thank you Punkin!
A little over 9 months ago I got off a plane and met a little man. Since then we have rarely been separated and I am pretty much as in love as a cousin can be with a little adorable energy ball! (note "energy ball", not "bundle of cuddles" ) I cannot believe he is almost one year old already, time really does fly when they are itty bitty!

I got the joy of babysitting this little cutie last Sunday. His name is Easton and he officially has the most incredible blue eyes!





I got the privilege of making 12 dozen cookies for the church dinner and we had a blast doing it!
Our favorite recipe is as follows:
SNICKERDOODLES!
1 cup shortening
2 eggs
2t cream of tartar
1/2 t salt
1 1/2 c sugar
2 3/4 c flour
1 t soda
1 t vanilla
Cream shortening, sugar, vanilla, and eggs. Add all other ingredients. Roll into walnut sized balls. Mix 1 T sugar and 1 T cinnamon. Roll balls in cinnamon /sugar. Place on un-greased cookie sheet. Bake at 350 for 8-10 minutes. Store in Ziplock bags with an orange peel to maintain softness. =)
Every morning John used to come into the kitchen in his pajamas and ask to help me make breakfast.
I started to teach him how to make biscuits and he almost had it down to doing it by himself when I left.
Don't worry.... I am sure we had forgotten to wash his hands.
This is just entirely too classic and cute if you ask me!
*insert huge proud grin here*
The completed product all ready to be cooked!
Never take little moments like this for granted! They are only little once, and you never know how big or small the window you have with them will be... I miss this... a lot!
I recently discovered with great delight that I still had several pictures from before I left home on my camera card!
This post is kind of a mishmash of those photos but I think y'all might enjoy them anyhow!
This little fellow I miss.... very....badly.
I thought this was amazing... note the water drop coming off the icicle in mid-fall.
Please agree with me that this looks like a laying down elephant!?
"I love you, you love me, we write hearts in the snow so all can see..." ;-)
This is what it looked like when I left home...
This picture almost makes me like cats. Which is sad, considering I took it, and that just seems almost really vain of me.
Did I mention I missed him?
This was an awesome mail day -- I got an herb book, Benjamin got a wrench set he had ordered, we got this card from mom, and LOTS of Valentines day candy as well!
Because everyone loves these too... ♥
Yes, that would be bare feet prints. Yes, that is real snow. Yes, that is the weirdest angle for the dog and cat. Yes, this was totally random. Hey, it amused me... *grins*
Because she is beautiful and I miss her too!
