Zoe's Julia Makeover

Julia had fun playing makeup with Zoe. She has pink glossy lips, mascara!, and cheer glitter (which was Zoe's favorite). A cute pink bow and tiny ponytail in the back completed her makeover by Julia.

Zoe Loves Smoothies

Zoe showing me she was all done with her smoothie and asking for more.

Coconut water, frozen pineapple, kale and frozen triple berries.

I was kind of shocked she liked it so much because it had a bunch of kale in it but she drank it down and asked for more!

I a Nerd

Zoe thought she was pretty funny yesterday when she put these glasses on and pronounced,

 "I a Nerd!"

Smell-ips

Zoe came over today after a weeks vacation with her Mommy because Cami had the week off. We went out side to look at the tulips blooming. Zoe was so cute as she told me how pretty they were and kept trying to smell them. She said, "I like your smell-ips!"

Fizzy Foam Science Activites 1 & 2

 Yesterday we learned that baking soda (a base) and citric acid (an acid) makes a gas called carbon dioxide when mixed together.  It's a chemical reaction! The fizz we observed was made up of lots of tiny carbon dioxide bubbles.

Step 1 today was dissolving the baking soda in water. We used the base of baking soda to test different liquids to see if they were acidic.

 Vinegar made a fizzing reaction which told us that yes, it was an acid.

 Squeezed half of a lemon into the cup, then added 1 tablespoon baking soda.  Super fizzy!
Super big YES; lemon juice is acidic.

 Observing the bubbles as he stirred with the stir stick.

 Apple-berry juice showed no fizzing when added to the baking soda so we inferred it was not acidic.

 Lemon juice was so fun they decide try that again to observe the big chemical reaction.

 Loved those happy interested faces today:)

Jared coaching David and Rachel as they wrestle.

Love that static electricity hair on Rachel.

Sarah Maughan

After Chloe Gidley's blessing our family went to Stacey and Trisha's house for dinner.

Kevin and Trevor were excellent salad makers.

Rachel was in baby girl heaven holding cousin Sarah

We just about died of cuteness from these pink ruffled, mary-jane socks!!

Julia got to give her a bottle while David kept asking when he was going to get his turn to hold her.

Auntie Lisa finally got a Sarah turn,

Sheldon tried to hold David like a baby but David wasn't having it.

David finally got a turn then said, "I can't believe they let me hold her!"

Rachel off to Leah Fishers Birthday Party

She got her a matching shirt and bff necklace.

David and Zoe gave me a cheese smile, taking a break from jumping.

First time Rachel ordered something from Wendy's  (Plain grilled chicken on a bun).

I love her happy full mouth ;D

Hiking with Dad

Auntie Rachel and Zoe with Matching Bows

Rachel had fun today playing with Zoe and putting matching bows in their hair. Such cutie pies:)

Rachel had Emma Judd over for a play date on January 11, then went for a sleepover to Emma's house. We didn't know it until after we invited her over to play that is was her birthday!

David and Zoe showing me the Little People princess castle they built together

Zoe and the Kids Jumping with Brandon

Think of Me

My sweet Rachel trying to show me "Think of Me" from Phantom of the Opera.  Barely controlled chaos is how I would describe my house some days.  Love my little piano player though!  She was gone for a sleepover a week ago Friday and it made me realize how much I love hearing Rachel and Julia too playing the piano.  It felt strange not to hear the piano played every few hours-I missed it!

Zoe's Picture Present Christmas 2012

Zoe painted us a picture for our Grandma & Grandpa Christmas present.

Grandpa Shows Zoe a Caterpillar

Sheldon worked from home Friday when he found out Zoe would be coming at 10:30 am to be babysat instead of the usual 12:30 pm.  Grandpa and Zoe went out in the backyard for a little exploring time together; they picked a flower and then brought it in to show me. Then Grandpa discovered he had a little caterpillar on his shirt sleeve. Showing Zoe was some pretty fun stuff.
