Kynzee's First Easter




Still at 11 months old she has NO teeth

Marking it with a "B"
I seriously can't believe how fast my baby girl has grown.  At 11 months she can play patty cake and even roll it the right way.  She doesn't very often smile for pictures.  She still weighs 14 pounds and growing a little taller.  She loves food and will eat almost anything but cows milk or formula, which is difficult for me.  She is definitely a mamas girl.

Fancy Easter




I love to dress my kids up for Easter Sunday.  It just makes the day so much better...until you try and take their pictures.  Here is a few of the good ones.

Easter Egg Art




The eggs we did this year were different.  They were dyless.  You put this stuff in a bag and put the egg in and rolled it around in the bag.  Super easy and Super CLEAN!  The kids actually didn't like it and thought it was a weird way to color eggs...  Aiden was really ornery about it.

Baking Maddness


To a Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cheesecake Cake.

Chocolate Cake went from this.....

See the Layery Goodness.


 Just like I go through craftiness "stages" I also go through baking and cooking "stages."  I like to try new things that I have never attempted before and see how they turn out.  The peanut butter cookie dough cupcakes were a hit with everybody but me.  The cheesecake cake looked incredible...However, to me it didn't taste incredible.  I had made the chocolate cake with greek yogurt and it made it really dense.  Oh well Ben loved it.




Another Graduation

I finished my Medical Assisting Degree in 7 months however, I had to weight 6 months to do my externship thanks to my cute little Kynzee joining our family, and then had to wait another 9 months to "graduate."  I decided to walk for this graduation so that my kids could see what it was like.  They probably could have cared less.  Aiden just wanted the robe to play Harry Potter or a Jedi.  This degree was not a big challenge for me...what was challenging was finishing it after having a baby and pushing through an externship and having courage enough  to "walk."  I am glad though that I have another degree to help me in my life.

Craftiness






I have decided that I would widen my craftiness urge.  I made rose balls out of tissue paper.  I painted the vases with an air gun.  I bought candle holders and vases and glued them together so I could put holiday decor in them.  It is super funny because I will go through a "stage" of wanting to try new things.  This time it was with glass, glue and tissue paper.

Kynzee 10 months old




Oh my gosh, time to update.  I can't believe it has been since March since I have posted anything.  I took these pics of Kynz one Sunday.  I didn't even bother editing them.  She is wearing a dress that I wore when I was a baby.  At 10 months, Kynz weighed 13 pounds and was still in the 0% for height she is in the 5-10%.  I am so grateful to have her.  She definitely has her own unique personality compared to the rest.
