I grew up a short driving distance to Disneyland so I can say I am very familiar with the place. I also have a six year old daughter with a growing collection of Disney movies that the whole family enjoys watching. When I was picked to "Show My Disney Side" and host a Disney Side Home Celebration I was very excited. Not just...
Penelope's lunch today... I made pepperoni hearts and cheese pretzel kabobs, a hard boiled egg that was supposed to be shaped like a heart but my heart mold wasn't working today, baby tomatoes, and extra pretzels for munching. Her dessert was 3 fruit jelly stuffed marshmallows. She said she loved her lunch and finished everything. My heart is breaking... :( ...
Two weeks ago Penelope was presented with a Student of the Month award at her Wednesday chapel service. She was sooo surprised! Chris and I were told she would be receiving an award but were told to keep it a secret. She received the award for exemplifying the biblical character trait of encouragement.

And this is only...

You would think with all the shoes Chris owns I would at least have one. But alas my minor OCD causes me to throw out all boxes, because I...
I love this pillow case Penelope made with her teacher at school. ...
Here is a snack box I made for Penelope yesterday. She gobbled everything up after school and said it was the best snack box. Parmesan cheese cubes, cheddar slices, Wheat Thins, salami, blackberries and blueberries, baby tomatoes and cucumbers. ...
Yesterday was Penelope's 100th day of school. They had a little celebration which included all the kiddos taking in 100 snacks to share, they counted 100 objects throughout the day, and each child had to wear 100 of something. Can you guess what Penelope wore 100 of? Friday they are celebrating Chinese New Year at school and having a giant Chinese food feast....
This is a long overdue thank you post to my two Alaskan friends Tracy and Tracy. When I was going through some health stuff a few months ago those awesome girls put together a package, Alaska style, and sent it to me. Smoked salmon, goat jerky, fire weed jelly, and these delicious homemade scones I miss having on our Monday morning play date....
