Sugar Cookies

Here are a few of my most recent sugar cookies. Tyrus jokingly tried to nickname me "cookie" because I am always making them for some occassion. No thanks on that nickname, I like Jules just fine :-)

Birthday Basket with extra cookies in bags in front of basket (45 cookies total)


Flower Pots (insane craziness = 8 pots with 7 flowers each, one basket with 17 cookies, two bags with 5 cookies : 83 total, it was an exhausting 2 days)


Baseball & Bat


Patriotic Basket with 6 cookies

Dress Up

Gavin loves to play with Kylie, including dress up.

Papa Reunion

We recently went to N. Cali for a Papa reunion. We had a really fun time. We went up a few days early to give our water equipment a test run on the lake before our big lake day and to have extra time to spend with the family. We stayed in a hotel the first few days and the kids loved it. Here is Kylie using the bathroom when in walks Gavin to give her a hug. It was such a long hug that we had time to get the camera and take a picture. Gavin usually only gives hugs when it's his idea so you gotta take 'em when you can get 'em.



Our second day on the lake, Gavin walked around with the sand bucket on his head. He loves hats and anything else that fits on his head. I liked this picture of him taking the bucket off to peek out before putting it back on.


Here is a 7 second video of him walking around with the bucket completely covering his head.

Birthday Party Ideas

I am not very creative and need some help with birthday party ideas please!!

Kylie is turning 4 in a few weeks and I'm trying to plan a party for her. She has told me that she wants the theme to be Tinkerbell.

I need some ideas of fun games and activities to keep it inexpensive, yet fun.
