New Bikes!

By -


Charlie's bike was broken and Sarah Graves outgrew her bike. We went into Wal-Mart to pick up sunscreen on our way to the lake, then I suggested we look at bikes to see what sizes they needed, and then we picked up new bikes!
That's how things go when your mom is crazy and your dad loves you enough to go along with it!
Yep, we bought a bike carrier too!

The kids were so surprised and excited to get new bikes! The timing was perfect because they had a week to be at the lake where they have a flatter area to ride. 
 Good thing we bought helmets! Within a few minutes of Charlie riding his bike he went over a retaining wall and fell several feet. Aaron was able to jump down and lift him up. He wasn't injured and got back on pretty quick!

Then, the next day Sarah Graves went over at a different point and fell even further! Charlie was the first one to get to her and pulled the bike off of her. He started crying he was so scared something was bad wrong. Fortunately Sarah Graves only scraped up the length of her leg and broke the gear piece on her bike. Pops had to go through the neighbors' yard to get her and the bike out! 

It is so beautiful to see!

Frozen Party Details

Like most girls her age, Sarah Graves LOVES Frozen and has known for quite some time that she wanted a Frozen birthday party. I was so excited when I saw this invitation on Etsy and she loved it too! It reminded me of an infographic. The Frozen theme was a lot of fun! There were so many things to choose from that I took to pinterest and eventually decided on the ideas that I would use for this party. I found this great Arendelle banner here on Pinterest I was so grateful that my sister did a snowflake Christmas and had tons of snowflake ornaments to hang as decorations! This party theme was a lot of fun to plan the food. Kristoff's ice cubes were made from Jell-o with an ombre effect. I found the recipe here on Pinterest. I doubled the recipe to make a 13x9 size pan of it and I made 2 13x9 pans of it. The made plenty of "ice cubes" to fill 35 cups. They turned out really cute! My parents made this Elsa cake and did a fabulous job

Cloth vs. Disposable

By -
We have mostly been planning to do disposable diapers because I felt that cloth would just be too much work when I go back to work.  Then, we saw these diapers called happy heiny's ( www.happyheinys.com ).  These looked much different than what I envisioned cloth diapers to look like.  Mom used cloth diapers with me and Jeanne', so she felt totally up for using them while Sarah Graves is at her house.  I started looking into the cost comparison and depending on what type of cloth diapers you buy, you can save anywhere from $1200 - $1700.  That is pretty attractive, not to mention knowing that you aren't filling up a landfill somewhere.  There are lots of different varieties of cloth diapers out there, but the ones that seem to be a good investment and user friendly are diapers that have snap closures, with a pocket for an insert to absorb the contents, and they are one size that adjusts as your baby grows from a newborn up to 35 pounds.  You can also purchase the traditio
