Grass head guys

This is a project I found in family fun magazine. Hopefully you can see how cute they are in the picture. I brought the project into Guhners class for them to do ... they are so much fun and the kids love them! This is a picture of them giving their grass heads "hair cuts"
Cute easy project to do with the kids!

Supplies: knee high pantyhose
1 cup potting soil
empty (clean) yogurt cup (we used yoplait)
2 tablespoons grass seed
google eyes
permanent marker
glue (not glue stick)

Directions: (trust me ... follow these ... I tried to do my own directions and they turned out awe full)
place grass seed into bottom of knee high
top with potting soil
tie a knot at end of "ball"
trim knee high so that the "tail" will drop down to the bottom of the yogurt cup when "head" is placed on top
glue on google eyes and draw face with marker
fill up yogurt cup with water (at least 3/4 of the way) and check water daily
soon enough your guy will be growing hair .... and will be ready for hair cuts!

Happy Belated Birthday!

Sorry honey that this post is "belated"
I hope you had fun on your birthday!
Thursday was Eric's birthday ... we met grandma for lunch at R&R pizza, then we went bowling (Eric's fave!) and of coarse a few games at the arcade.
I thought I would share a few comments that were made that day that made me laugh

Addison: "Happy Birthday Daddy ... you are the birthday man"
apparently Eric is now too old to be considered the birthday boy

Guhner: "How old are you now dad?"
Eric: "28"
Guhner: " 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, WHOA!"

Don't feel too bad honey ..... I am right behind you!

Thanks Michelle!

okay so I haven't been on in a while and when I do I have a new header!!!!
Thanks Michelle .... you are the BEST! and so dang cute that I FORGOT that she was pregnant when I saw her the other day! Good thing you are my sister or I would hate you! :)

YMCA Basketball

This is Guhner & Matisyn

From the first week of school they considered each other boyfriend and girlfriend....although now it depends on the day if Guhner admits she is still his girlfriend "Mom we're just friends"

She is definitely a cutie!

Guhner just started YMCA basketball and Maty & Ethan are both on his team

(they are all in the same class at school)

Before we knew that they were all on the same team I was saying to Guhner

me: "Guhner wouldn't it be cool if Maty was on your team"

Guhner: "Yeah.......but what if she is standing too close to me and I dunk in her face!"

I didn't have the heart to tell Guhner that white boys can't jump ....

I am glad that he was concerned over "dunking in her face"

Guhner had a fun time at practice ..... I didn't go this week .... I stayed home with Addison .... she was in some need of one on one time with mommy

I will be there next time .... maybe I will be able to witness some of his "dunking skills"

I LOVE MY LIFE!

I may complain ....

dream of how green the grass is on the other side ...

but really I have a great life

I LOVE MY LIFE!

Here are a few reasons why...

I have a fantastic husband

My husband works from home!

Guhner goes to a great school and has the BEST teacher!

Addison is doing so good in preschool and we love Miss Melissa

We live close to lots of family and friends
