Teacher Valentines Treat

Better late than never... right?!?!?!

Here is a tag that I made for the boys' teacher Valentines treat.

I did it on Picmonkey

I bought each teacher a bag of Flipz, and attached a tag that said:

Cut the tag out and attached to some fun glitter Valentines paper, and Voila!!!!

Nice, simple, and easy. The LOVED it!!!

Tried And Did.... Pinterest Style!!!!

You all know I love Pinterest. 

I do have a love hate relationship with it... kind of!!!
I love all the possibilities and that it gets my creative juices flowing.

But hate when I do something so easy, it fails!! 

And then shows how creative I am not!!!! LOL!!!!

I have a board called Tried And Did

That has all the things I have made, tried, or done.

Some were huge successes, others not so much!!!

Like this Cherry Tart.

I did it but with strawberries instead. 

Definently to much cream cheese, not enough sugar!!!

I did this for my 5 year old Valentines class party!! 

Success!!!!!

Made these last year for Easter, a total hit, but hands get super greasy.

 For the rice crispies not to stick, I sprayed my hands with Pam, and molded into the eggs!!!

Total Success, we do these up camping, and you get so full!!! 

Fill up with 2-3 eggs, and any extras you want,

Do this on top of my cupboards, 

and every year, rip them off, toss, and lay down new wax paper!!!

Did not turn out great.

 I could not taste any Nutella. Just like banana bread, but in cookie form!!

Both my older boys made these so they could do there home work!!

They were decked out in camo... of course!!!

As team mom of Braydons Football team,

 I made every boy one with there names and team colors!!!

There are tons more!! 

 Head over and follow me, and see what other goodies I have tried!!!

Happy Valentine's Day

I hope you are all having a fantastic day today!!! 

I wanted to share a couple of things that I did this year for my family this wonderful day!!!

This year my 2 older boys get to make and take a Valentines box. I was super excited to hear this, and they were too!!

I asked what they wanted and they both wanted Lego Ninjago guys. I looked all over Pinterest and the internet, nothing really, maybe 2!!

So I grabbed Braydons Ninjago Encyclopedia and looked at those figures. And here is what I came up with. Don't be to harsh on the creativity!!! 

Here is Easton's Box

Braydon helped with his!!! I am totally NOT an artist.... can you tell!!!!

*******************************************************

And for my darling husband, I decided to sneak a candy gram in his work truck, and hide goody bags full of snacks around it too!!!

Lame, but I am fine with that!!!

I crack myself up sometimes!!!!

What do you give to your significant other? 

Halloween Candy Wrapper

I know.... you look at this title and say really Halloween, it is almost Valentines!!!

But I really need to get caught up!! So bare with me!!!

For a Young Womens Mutual activity we wrapped Hershey bars to look  like bats, and added a poem to take tho the less active girls. They turned out pretty cute!!!

Here is the bat all finished, and the outline we used for it!!

Here is the little saying we wrote inside to the inactive girls.

After we made them we personally delivered to all the girls. The ones we saw were happy to receive their gift. Very nice to go meet some of them who I have never seen or met before!!!

Christmas Eve 2012

I am so behind with everything, I even have a Halloween post to write. 

But that is okay, I am sure you all don't mind..... do you?!?!?!

Christmas Eve we go to my father in laws house and the kids get to decorate cookies for Santa!!

And the kids LOADED added their touch to the cookies with frosting!!!!

Easton was very delicate with his cookies, with a lot of frosting!!!

Braydon was too

Hazard has every color possible and just kept piling it on until it was seriously 2-3 inches tall!!

Santa had to lake some layers off that night!!!!

Getting ready for bed, sitting in front of an empty, present-less tree!!!

YIPEEE, Santa came and ate all but a piece of cookie, and drank most of the milk!!! 

They all slept in Eastons room on the floor.

 That way we know if someone decides to sneak and peak!!!!

Santa cam and brought there presents. Only the 3 in the front are from him, and rest from us!!

Dallin likes to see the boys' face when the tree is that full of gifts!!!
