Memorial Day and This Month's happenings...

Hey all. How are things going? Let me fill you in on the happenings around here lately. We went up to Mom's house for a cookout for Memorial Day and it was great. Maddie and Kenzie wore themselves out to the extent that as soon as we got in the car, they were both sound asleep. They both went right to bed when we got home too. We ran and played for hours outside. Mom lives on a 9 acre farm and so she has the room for us to run all the time. They too are getting a swingset for the kids so that they have something they can swing on at their house. The one they are getting is going to be bigger than the one I have, but I think that the kids will love it. Mom helped me to start planning a few things. I need to take some of my Landscape timbers to create a box around the swingset after we cement it in the ground and then I will use roundup to kill the grass and put rubber mulch inside the box so that if the kids fall off of the swing, they won't get hurt. I have made several plans for the outside of the house. I will post pics of the before and after when I do it. I will be starting to move the landscape timbers soon and putting the bricks in where the landscape timbers are. I think that sums up the Memorial Day thing.

Now for the cakes for this month:

locker cakes

graduation cupcakes

graduation cake

bowling cakes

nintendo wii cake

german chocolate cake

microphone cake


there may be more, I can't remember off of the top of my head. But that is a look at what I have so far. I can't wait to get it all done. I think I will have lots of fun with it.


I also got some new pics of Maddie this past weekend. here they are:


Look, we have instant best friends. Kenzie and Maddie love holding hands in the car. They just started this since Maddie is turned around forward facing.

Maddie is enjoying her forward facing carseat. She is such a big girl now!

Look at the smile! She is just so happy. I loved this one because she was showing us her teeth! And, yes, the slober is because she is teething! She is getting her first molars. I know that she has to be in pain.

AWWWWWWWW! How cute! Daddy was tickeling her here. And Nana wiping the slobber from her chin. I really do love my girls! They are so much fun! I don't think I would ever want anything to have happened any different than it did for us. They have truly been a blessing for us! They are the greatest!

Love,

Dawn

Kenzie's day at school

Kenzie got off of the bus screaming, "Mom it snowed!" It was so cute. Then when I got into her backpack, I found her daily sheet with this on it... Kenzie had wrote her name (not perfect but she tried) and a note from the teacher above it saying "INDEPENDENT WRITING-- ONLY VERBAL PROMPTS!" I am so excited for her! We are definately getting somewhere. Then under the teacher comments part, I find... "SHE CAME IN TELLING ME IT WAS SNOWING-- SUPER EXCITED!" I too saw this when she got home! Construction Zone Newsletter Week 2 Dear Family, This week Kenzie will learn about solving problems. Using the topic "Build with Me," we will read stories about building things and working together to solve problems. You can help your child learn more by talking with him/her about things she/he is doing at school and the new letters and words that he/she is learning. Here are some ways that you can work with your child at home. Think and Talk: What did y...

And WINTER is here!

I look out the window to see.... A BLANKET OF SNOW! It is covering my driveway, walkway, yard.... and we are expecting more this week! I think it is safe to say that winter has finally decided to come! Don't get me wrong, snow is pretty, but I don't like it because that means I have to drive in dangerous conditions! I would much rather be driving in tropical storm force winds and rain (I have done this! When all the hurricanes were going through Florida a couple of years ago!). Now on to other things... Saturday: I had a really busy day. I was at work and didn't think it would ever end. Admissions and falls and sending people to the hospital... stabalizing others and stuff that goes on in the health care centers all the time. Sunday: Zach forgot to add me back into the schedule, so I got off at 2pm. Rode home with Maxx since he lives in Jeffersonville and Ryan and the girls were going to be at his house anyway. When we got there we watched a little of the game an...
