Digital Scrapbooking

I started taking an online digital scrapbooking class. These are a few of the pages I've done so far. It is so much fun and a lot less messier than paper scrapbooking!

Bug Cupcakes

Tanner saw a magazine at
Walmart that had bug cupcakes on the cover. He had a great time decorating them with M&M's, circus peanuts, and icing. I helped him with 6, then he decided it was much more fun just to squeeze icing all over them. Needless to say, most of the cupcakes looked pretty messy! After "accidentally" getting icing all over his hands (which needed licking off) he realized it was much easier to go straight to the source....the icing container! At least the cupcakes were done by that point!

Parker's Pigtails

I attempted pigtails in Parker's hair. Needless to say it only lasted about 10 seconds...just long enough to get this adorable picture! I can't wait for her hair to get a little thicker!

The Funny Things Kids Say

"Skeeta Spots".............. Mosquito bites
"Torto-Looney".............Tortellini
"Baby Milk"...................Nursery Water
"Night-Night 'Mote"......The remote for the bedroom fan/light
"Jumbo"...........................Elephant (all elephants are now know as Jumbo)

The Elephant Trainer

We recently visited the Shriner Circus where you were given the opportunity to ride an elephant. I graciously volunteered Mitch to take Tanner for a ride. As you can see from the photos, the elephant trainer was much to worried about his phone call than the 2 ton animal carrying small children! It was a highlight for Tanner, my little animal fanatic.

I can draw "a people"!

Tanner has discovered his hidden talent for drawing stick people. Now every things he draws on the chalk board must be given eyes, nose, mouth, arms, and legs...sometimes even "a hair". Every letter of the alphabet that he draws is now turned into a person. He is very proud of himself!

My Little Star Athlete!

So yesterday I took Tanner and Parker to watch Bonnie's soccer game. Tanner was excited and decided to take his own little soccer ball. Once we got to the field, Tanner was digging through the diaper bag and found a sheet of stickers. He then spent the next 30 minutes carefully placing stickers on each section of the soccer ball. He was totally oblivous to game being played but was more than happy to stick stickers all over the ball!
