Carmeled Apples with the Young Women

For one of our mutual activities we came over to my house and made carmeled apples. My favorite one was the "Apple Pie". You roll it in carmel, dip the apple in white chocolate, then roll it in a mixture of crushed graham crackers, cinnamon and sugar...YUMMY!!

These girls are amazing...I LOVE them!

Hadlie's Minnie Mouse 2nd Birthday!

Happy Birthday Hadlie...2 years have passed by so quickly, we are so happy you are in our family!

Hadi sang Happy Birthday to herself...it was so dang cute!

She would hold up her clothes to herself and say "aww cute"!

These are the Mickey Mouse carmeled apples that I made for party favors to give her guests. As much stress as they caused...they really turned out darling! Totally worth it!

Haunted Halloween

So this is the first year that Macie and Paden didn't want to be something cute, but instead they wanted to be SCARY...Macie wanted to be a Zombie Bride and Paden wanted to be Frankenstein...at least I still have little Hadlie that doesn't know that she gets an opinion yet!

Macie's Birthday

I can't believe Macie is already 7 years old! It is amazing that she keeps getting older and I am not aging at all.

Macie's First Piano Recital

Macie had her first piano recital and she played "Gonna Take You There" from the Princess and the Frog movie. She did awesome. I was so proud of her!
