Alivia's 6th Birthday Party

The kids had lots of fun at Alivia's circus party.

Joy's first face painting.  I was impressed she held still for it.  It was not fun washing it off tonight!

Braided Bread

I was really excited about my first attempt at braided bread.  It's whole grain rye and whole grain pumpernickel.  And it was great!

Daddy Returns

We were so happy Daddy was home safe and sound.  He had some Harry and David treats sent to us by his Indian co-workers.

Cabellas Again

We met Keli for lunch at Cabellas on Thursday before our Walmart shopping and brought her some semolina bread.

Homemade Pretzels

I finally had success making homemade soft pretzels!  and what better to go with them than Nutella!

Cell Phone Games

I had to take this one from my Facebook post yesterday:

This morning Joy was playing with a battery-less, at least 10 year old cell phone of mine. I asked her who she was calling and she said no one, she was playing a game. I asked her what was happening on her game and she looked down at it and said, "It's still loading."

What made it even funnier was that after we discussed at length what happened on her pretend Smee-erella game, when I asked her again what was happening, she said it was loading again!

More Baking

Another round of bagels...I planed to freeze a bunch, but only 3 made it to the freezer; we ate the rest!

The kids and I ate all the pretzels in no time.  They were a great treat dipped in Nutella!

Visit with Keli and Family

and pizza.  Paul was freezing the world with his freeze gun, something from Batman. Max had lots of Batman toys from his cousins.

Max was ready for the beach!

Visit with Grandma, Grandpa, Nini, Uncle Anthony and Arianna

Food for Keli

We spent the latter part of the week making food for Keli, who is pregnant, taking care of a 2 year old, and working 40 hours per week.  We made pizza crusts for Max, who is in a pizza phase and stir fry and some of our "Whey Cool Bread" (bread made with whey) for Keli and Clay.  

Snow Fort!

Soldiers

Paul had to put his costume on too.  They completed the puzzle!

Valentines Gifts

Paul loves Shawn's old G.I. Joe puzzle, even though it's missing a whole bunch of pieces.  So we bought him 2 new ones.  

Joy wanted her very own G.I. Joe costume.  There are so many pictures because they were all so cute I couldn't delete them.
