First time Cake Pops...

CAKE POPS

So Cole is suppose to bring a treat tomorrow to his babysitter because she is going to have a little party for him for his birthday.

Well I wanted to bring something cute so I finally decided to give these cake pops a try!

I had a lot of fun with them!

 They are TONS TONS TONS easier than what I expected!!!

They were also a lot of fun to make!

I am sure I will be making more of these in the future!

Thanks Katie Forrey for helping me with the process!

I was wondering if Cole was going to like them!!!

He was loving them but they are really really rich so he only ate like half!

Next time I will try different combinations with the whole cake mix, frosting and chocolate dip!

Don't mind Cole having two "POPS" in both hands... he found this sucker and would not let it go!

I finally distracted him long enough to throw it away!!!

Happy Happy Birthday!!!

Happy Happy Birthday

to my little

BUGGABOO!!!!

I can't believe it has been two years since this amazing kid was apart of my life!!!
This was the best of the pictures that I got today!!

He was not in the mood to have the camera in his face!!!

This is a picture of his reaction when I came into his room singing

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

I am so blessed that have this little guy's smile in my life!!!

This is the cutest video ever!!!

This is from Cole's friends Drew and Reagan

He kept having me replay the video as he watched with the biggest smile on his face!

Valentine's Day...

VALENTINE'S DAY

We celebrated Valentine's Day a day early because we don't have Courtney and Derek tomorrow.

So we decided to pick out something that each of the kids love.

Courtney LOVES SOFT AND COMFY PJ's

Derek LOVES Chocolate and Nerf guns.

So he was so excited when he realized that this bag of chocolate was

ALL FOR HIM!!!! 

And you guess it...

Cole loves CARS and M&M's

So we had our traditional Valentine Day Crepe's!!!

They were so so so good.

Costco had some amazing fruit so we had all kinds of fruit in our crepes

BLUEBERRIES, BLACKBERRIES, STRAWBERRIES

and of course you cant forget

BANANA'S

Cole's favorite part was the whip cream!!!!

Here was the Valentine's treats that Cole is going to give all his little friends tomorrow!

I wish I was a fly on the wall when he has his first Valentine's Party with friends!!!

My OBSESSION

You can call me an ADDICT!!!

This is my obsession right now.

The best part of this obsession is that I have actually created, made, read and changed things from this site!

Who ever thought of this was BRILLIANT!!!

I just went to a Valentine's Couple Party and I made these..

 Making these today for Cole's Valentine's Party!!!

 This is on my agenda to make to go above my mirror in my living room!

This is what we have had for dinner lately!!!

 Then for several birthday parties, ward Christmas parties and just some holiday fun I have brought these...

For my card swap group I have made these...

 Several of my friends have "Their Favorite Things Parties" over the holidays and I made these.  I love doing my hair with bobby pins so I decorated them and they all turned out so cute!!

And I have followed and tried to remember these...

So as you can see this amazing site called PINTEREST has really become a part of my life!

AND the thing that I want to accomplish from Pinterest from the end of the year is this....

I want to have ALL my digital pictures so that means I started to take digital picture in

2006.

So from 2006-2011 I want to have all printed up in picture books.

I have tried to put together blog books but I just cant make it happen!

http://jengrantmorris.blogspot.com/2012/01/organising-photographs.html

If there is someone out there that knows an easy way then let me know... but I would be happy to just have all my pictures printed up and put on paper for my posterity!



Ice Fishing

ICE FISHING

on STRAWBERRY RESERVOIR

This winter Cameron has taken up a new hobby!

He has started to go ice fishing with all the guys from work.

They have gone about once a week for the past month.

At first he wasn't really a fan and just went to be "PART OF THE TEAM" but now I really thinks he enjoys it!

This picture is of him in a middle of a laugh because the fish kept jumping out of his hands!

I guess this is a pretty good size fish for ice fishing, but I was told that this wasn't the largest of the day!
