Tid Bits

I feel like the older the kids get, I pick up the camera less often to catch little moments in our lives. Here are a few I snapped of everyday life. 
All the socker boppers and the moon shoes at one time! This girl is ready to bounce!

Harrison and Charlie looking very dapper before cotillion.

Sis has been putting her new doughnut pan to good use! She has made red velvet, oreo, and cinnamon sugar doughnuts for us! All very tasty, but the cinnamon ones are the best!

This sloth heavy hugger was a Christmas gift that was well received. Charlie got a kick out of dressing it in some of the baby doll clothes!

Bacon Bits as he is named was left to take a nap on the sofa looking quite dashing in his tux! He scared me to death when I caught sight of his head out of the corner of my eye when I thought I was home alone!


Sarah Graves started confirmation classes and it has been a beautiful opportunity for her to develop some new friendships with other girls at church. She already knew several boys from school, but it took a lock in to help her get to know the girls and she made some great connections. 

She also found out that lock ins are a blast and I was sooo happy for her to have those awesome youth group memories!

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
