Payton the fashionista?

So, the girls have wanted to dress themselves for quite some time now. I usually let them choose when we're staying home, I give them a couple options when we're going out, and they always pick their own pajamas. Here's what Payton chose to wear to bed the other night. Ellie loves to wear dresses and pretty clothes, but Payton has quite a unique sense of style. She loves to wear her winter hat (even in the summer and often accompanied with fluffy boots), she loves pants and t-shirts, and she almost always wants her shirt tucked in (so that she can look like daddy because when she grows up she wants to be "just like daddy"). I wish I could say that this look for Payton is rare, but she dresses like this quite often!

Happy Easter...

I know that it's now June...but I'm playing catch up...again.

This is the ONLY good picture that I have of Easter this year.

Actually, I'm hoping that Neil has some better ones on his camera, but if not...the scrapbook is going to be looking a little sad. We did do fun things though, Grandma and Grandpa Woolf came to visit, we had an easter party and egg hunt at the park with some friends, and the kids got pretty good easter baskets (although the easter bunny did forget a few things and only remembered them on monday and Max's basket was a little sparse as the easter bunny thought he'd/she'd gotten more for him that he/she actually did and didn't realize it until late saturday night).

Happy Birthday Max!

Max turned six! We celebrated his birthday with a Lego Party. We had lego car races, a mini figure obstacle race, lego bingo, lego pizza and a lego cake.

I think Max had a good time...

This was my first real attempt at fondant and thanks to some tutorials via the phone from Karisa,

it didn't turn out too bad.

Max had a great birthday week: he loved all the presents that kept arriving in the mail, we went to the county fair, Max and I got to go on a date one night, we all went to dinner another and Max picked ribs for his birthday dinner at home.

Happy birthday Max, we love you!

The Lion King

Max, Neil and I got Lion King tickets for Christmas. We went to the show in January and it was so fun taking Max to his first real theater production. We all loved it of course!

Who want's to look at Christmas pictures in March?

Probably not many, so I'll make them small and quick....good thing I didn't wait until tomorrow to do this because I'm sure even fewer would want to look at them in April!
