Sweetheart Pageant

We went to watch Carrie's friend, Hannah, compete in the Sweetheart Pageant.
She looked so beautiful - and won Miss Photogenic! Go Hannah! About halfway through the whole thing, Carrie leaned over and said, "Mom, I think it would be a lot more fun to be IN the pageant than to WATCH it!" Maybe next year!

The 3rd Annual McNeil Commercial Spoof

Tonight was the Superbowl party for the youth at church. Every year we let the students submit commercials that they create and show them during the commercial breaks so we don't have to watch all the beer commercials. So this is ours for this year - its copied from a DiGiorno pizza commercial. Enjoy!

And just for old time's sake, here are the previous ones.

My little stars!

Superhero Birthday

Ethan turned 5 this week. He has completely lost that little boy chubbiness and shot up into this tall, fast, adventurous big boy. When did that happen? I must have blinked too many times this year, because this one went by way too fast!

He wanted a superhero party this year, so we decided to have it at the park. We made capes for all his friends to keep. They had so much fun! Enjoy the pictures! And don't miss the last few pics... when we got home, I found the perfect way to trap even the fastest, strongest superhero!

Happy Birthday Buddy!

He requested PB&J, strawberries, and cheetos!

a flower for mom!

Cake tip: all of the 4" superhero action figures come with a little hole on the bottom of each foot. If you break the pointy tip of one end of a toothpick, you can stick it in the hole and then stick the toothpick into the cake! So we added Superman and Batman to Ethan's collection after the party today! I can't take credit for the cake - all I did was stick the guys on top!
