Hannah's Photoshoot

Today, I enjoyed taking some pictures of my cousin Hannah and her little boy, L.

Taking pictures is such a fun, creative process! I hope you enjoy these as much as I do.

Brownie Pan

I got this pan over the weekend from Kohl's. I have been wanting one for a while now, but was not willing to pay $25 bucks. It is suppose to be perfect for brownies and blondies and making cookie bars.

The best part is I only paid $1.35 for it! 

How? A sweet friend gave me a $10 gift card she was not going to use. Hello, I will find something to use free $10 bucks on! Anyway, it was 50 percent off plus another 15 percent off for their friends and family weekend. How cool is that!

I couldn't wait to give it a try when I got home. I will say it works great - the brownies and cookie bars came out perfectly!

I Won!

Amy from Our Small World was giving away a $35 gift certificate to spend at a CSN Store and I won!

The past few days, I have been having fun looking through all the stores deciding what I will buy. I think I have finally made my decision and will show you soon!

Thank you to Amy for a great giveaway!

Spending the Night at Nana's

Silly Hat Day

It is Silly Hat Day at Awana. I thought I would show you the creations they came up with for the big contest.

M had a boa hat. We simply wrapped and pinned a boa to a winter hat. She won first place in the cubbies.

B had a a dirty sock hat. Scot stapled his old work socks to an old ball cap. He won 2nd in his class.

E made a pom-pom hat which we thought was pretty creative. When we got her from her class and asked if she won, she said, "NO, my little sister beat me!" (S and E are both in Truth and Training so they were in competition!)

S won first place with her crow hat....and not only that, she won GRAND PRIZE!

She was super excited because she won $5 for the Grand Prize!

They all had a great time with Silly Hat night. I am so thankful for the Awana program. It teaches them the Word of God and makes it FUN!

The Deer

During 4H today, Mrs T taught us a little bit about deer. She even brought a baby one that her family has rescued and is raising.  (She is certified with our state to do this.)

The kids and parents fell in love with it! Look how cute! I think she said this one is 8 weeks old.

Don't you just love hands-on learning!
