Wordles

I found a fun site called Wordle.net, you can insert a bunch of words about your family, a poem, a story...and it will randomly create "word art" for you. My example is the Proclamation on the Family. The most prominent words are the words used most often in the text. I love that the biggest words in the Proclamation are GOD, CHILDREN, FAMILY, and ETERNAL. Have fun! (You can click on the picture above to see the larger version).

Birthday Randomness

There was no real rhyme or reason to Hayden's birthday this year. After a whole week of dealing with a family flu epidemic, we were all just happy to be fever-free, and dressed. Despite our low-key affair, we had a great day celebrating our favorite little boy's 2nd birthday!

The cake....my first attempt at making a fondant cake actually turned out pretty well. It was so fun making it, like a crazy high school art project that you never want to end. It took many hours, and no one wanted to eat it when I was done, but we did, and it was yummy. Hayden perfected his new "I am TWO, and whatchya gonna do about it" look.
We celebrated with our usual birthday meal of choice...Little Caesar's Pizza!

(Madeline gets a little crazy when soda is involved)

Hayden was fascinated that he was allowed to be so close to a burning flame. When it was time to "blow out the candle" he didn't want to.

Cake is yummy.

Hayden's birthday loot includes a new tricycle (which we wished included new leg extender's)...a racetrack, and "Cars" sleeping bag set from Grandma and Papa, a Little People's boat set, and a new firetruck.
LIFE IS GOOD.

Happy Birthday Big Boy!!! We sure LOVE YOU!!!

K-I-S-S-I-N-G...



First comes love


Then comes marriage

Then comes Tom with the baby carriage!!

After 12 years of knowing you, and almost 11 years of being your wife...you still rock my socks off :) You are the best Valentine a girl could ask for. Thank you for being the love of my life, my best friend, and the father I always hoped my children would have.

I LOVE YOU.

Don't let the sweetness fool you...our cat Skittles was only trying to escape Hayden's "love". Still pretty cute though, and I am so glad I finally have a camera again.
