Paper Mache and Changing A Flat Tire

When cousin-tia Debbie came over for a visit we didn't know all this was going to happen. I have a big idea to make Monique's pinata for her birthday. (I will keep you posted on this one??)

Before we stated Debbie and I were going to go to the store when we saw a nail in her tire....

Alex pointing it out.

So we paper mached first.



Monique liked putting her hand in the glue until,

she saw the flour bag and wanted to eat the cupcakes on it!

Then when it got a little cooler maybe 100 degrees instead of 115, Mike and the kids got to work.
The kids had fun helping daddy.

Alex and tia Debbie trying to take the nuts off.

This was a good time for popsicles!

How We Get Dressed

Alex was trying to get dressed when Monique took off with his shorts. (I am sure he was trying really hard!)

She got them on, however she wares them like a shirt! Both feet in one leg, she was just happy she got them on!

Mister Cool

HELLO!

Monique's Trail Mix

Monique was eating some trail mix the other day and kept wanting to go to the trash. I figured she didn't like the nuts or raisins and was throwing them away.

She threw out all the m&ms!!

That crazy girl! Alex and Grandma Laura would not be very happy with her if they saw that. :)

Pretty Piggies

Monique got my nail polish out and wanted me to polish her finger nails. "Mommy finger" she kept telling me. I was unsure of the mess that would be so we did her toes instead!

She was so proud of her pretty piggies.

She kept putting her foot out to show me.

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

This picture just makes me laugh! She looks like she is dancing/posing in her sleep.

Frosting Baby Cupcakes

We made baby cupcakes and the kids got to frost their own cupcakes. They were working so hard on them.

Neither of them would take their eye's off of them to take a picture.
Monique looks so proud, with just a little bit of frosting!

And this guy would have kept frosting if I didn't stop him!

Christimas in August

Sorry Grandma Kay this Christmas gift was really, really late!

Alex helping!

She finally got her jersey just in time for football season!

Monique playing catch with Grandpa Dan. She is ready!

Twins

When Cash comes over in the mornings, he usually just had woken up and still in his pj's.

When Alex wakes up he runs out looking for him.

On this day they looked so cute in their matching pj's that they stayed in them until after lunch!
