Cookies, Rollercoasters, and Friends!

By -



We started off our Saturday icing sugar cookies!


Not exactly Pinterest worthy, but so tasty and fun to make!

After lunch we headed to Six Flags for Holiday in the Park!
Charlie brought Harrison and we were joined by Sarah Graves' friend Elizabeth. 

After I took this picture we rode Goliath, I mistakenly put my phone in my jeans pocket rather than my zipped jacket pocket, and well, at the end of a fantastic ride, my phone was gone. Talk about feeling your stomach drop! I would have gone home to work on what to do but didnt want to ruin anyone else's good time!






We finished out a fun day riding rides, enjoying lights, and singing Christmas songs! 

When we got home, I went about reporting my phone lost to Six Flags and turning on lost phone with apple. As I looked at the last location of the phone, I could see it was still active giving me hope it survived the fll from the tall roller coaster, and its location was just outside the park near a service road! Aaron went the next morning and used find my phone to make it ping and found it just on the edge of the median! Another couple of feet and it would have been in the road! It sailed 50-60 feet through the air when it fell off the ride! It also survived a night outside in the rain, but it didn't have a scratch on it and works perfectly! I was so very thankful! On top of losing my phone, I had my driver's license and credit cards in it. So much gratitude for it being found!


Elizabeth and Harrison came home with us to spend the night. After getting showered and warmed up, the girls got to work making these adorable Grinch pancakes!

The boys were happy to help eat them!

Dressed for church, so why not do some indoor football!

The girls did some Barbie play.


God's Light sang for church too. Always a treat!

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
