Jadan's new scooter

Jadan got one of those Razer scooters for x-mas from Randy's mom that spark. He has always wanted one but it only has two wheels and since Mr. Scaredy pants still won't ride a bike without training wheels (even though the one on his bike don't touch the ground just kind of wobble if he tilts) I didn't think he could do the scooter....but he is a PRO!





Ella didn't get hers for x-mas....but look at that cute face!

Crafty handmade hair ties and flowers

I did the button covered hair ties up in just a few minutes. I got button making kits at the craft store and then used scrape fabrics to make them and then added Ella's little hair ties to the part you would actually sew onto the cloths for a button.



The flowers are made out of strips of fabric that are sewed together at the top and then braided together. Then the long strip of braid is rolled up stitching them together as I roll. ( I did this during a football game with the boys) Then I hot glued them to felt, then hot glued them to hairbands which fit miss Ella and myself :) Any time either us wear them we get tons of compliments.



Crafty!

I made these bags (designed and painted) all on my own! I bought the canvass bags at the craft store with a coupon for 3 for about $5 and then used some fabric, felt, paint, glue and a sharpie marker and got busy. Took only 10 minutes to paint all the bags we only had masking tape so I roughly measured out lines and painted in the middle. Put them out on the porch over night and then designed and cut out felt and fabric and played around for a little bit and came up with these beauties for the kids!




Jadan's is the orange
Ella's in the dotted one with the bow
Tracker's is the one eye monster

Dreaming Rudolph...


is the name of the ice cream cake we had. A Korean tradition for Christmas and New Years are cakes....there are literally just piles of them stacked up outside of bakerys and inside the ice cream shops like Baskin Robbins 31 where we bought ours. Three different flavors inside...was pretty good...but I realised from the previous post you might not recognize what it was...so we performed an oral autopsy on this specimen for you...

Oh my Cham-lord...
















Here's some shots of our first night of 2011...making Chambord cocktails...





Goodbye unruly beard...hello, err..beard...











What happens after a three months of untamed facial hair gets trimmed...well, I look just slightly more presentable for public consumption.
