Happy Valentine's Day From Lorelai



Lorelai sent out these Valentine's to grandparents and great grandparents this year. 

I wish I could say that she loved putting paint on her hand and making a hand print but that would be a total lie. She screamed the whole time :)

I found the idea here

Happy Valentine's Day!

Scrap Paper USA Map


I made this fun scrap paper USA map to hang above Lorelai's play kitchen. Of course the Silhouette was used :) Each state is cut out of different pieces of scrapbook paper. Then I put it all together by taping the backs of the states together. Then I used spray adhesive to attach to the wood frame I had made. I love it.

Christmas Break 2014

Highlights of Christmas Break! We started the break off rough with some sickness and then we all got sick when we got home but thankfully we were healthy for Christmas! 
Watching the cows with Aunt Jenae.
These three were watching some football. She says grandpa just like I used to when I was little. It was cute to hear her call my grandpa "paca" just like I used to. I didn't teach her that either. She did it all on her own.


Travis's family has a sugar cookie decorating contest every year.  I made a Mrs. Clause. The competition was stiff this year :)

Lorelai got a play kitchen from Santa and she loves it!

Breaking the Christmas Eve Pinata. She couldn't really swing the big stick so she would poke at the piƱata very gently with the stick. It was cute!

We spent a day in Reno having fun with Travis family: racing go karts, jumping on trampolines, and eating good food.

On the way home Travis said, "Oh ya I have a surprise for you". By now I know not to get my hopes up too much for these surprises :) For good reason, the surprise was some dusty binoculars he found in the garage. He said I could use them to watch for cops and tell him when one was coming.

Playing basketball with Uncle Tyler.

We went to a Holiday party for Travis's school and Santa showed up.

Four generations of girls. I am glad we took the time to get this picture. I hope Lorelai and I can be great women like my mom and grandma. 

Playing Blocks with cousin Dean.

Pretty, Pretty Princess. This is right up her alley. She loves jewelry. 

We had a great Christmas Break!
