Locks of Love 2011

Maranda and Andria had barely 10 inches which is the minimum to donate. I wanted them to wait a few more weeks to leave a little more hair on their heads but they were ready. So we cut it off the last week of school. Summer is so nice with a cool short hair-do.Image

Camping for Littles

In our family we have the 'Bigs', 'Middles', and 'Littles'. Ruth and Zanya are our Littles. One weekend before school was out, Dan took them camping with their friends, the Melzers: Ryan, Lucy and Elsa. They had a great time with just the Dads and girls. ImageThere was plenty of room to share the trailer.
ImageThey went fishing and caught 3 fish!
ImageThen they ate them for dinner.
ImageThe girls also roasted hot dogs and marshmallows.
ImageIt was a beautiful campground, they want to go again soon.

Easter 2011

This is how we get curly hair: (Danica made the curlers in Zanya's hair, they are so great!)ImageI haven't made Easter dresses since Andria was a baby so this year I decided I was due for the project. I bought the fabric 10 days prior to Easter Sunday. Don't do that.
ImageDan says the flowers on these dresses look like first place ribbons. . .
ImageLuckily, I make simple skirts for Maranda and Andria.
ImageI think they turned out fun and the girls liked them.

Zanya turns FIVE!

I cannot believe that my baby is already 5 years old. Zanya is my little buddy and we go everywhere together. She is used to getting what she wants but is also willing to share and she is easy to reason with. She loves teasing her siblings, watching Cake Boss and playing with friends. Zanya wanted to read the most books ever in her preschool class this year and ended up reading over 1400 books! She would beg everyone to read to her so that she could write more books on her list. Her favorite hairstyle is a plain ponytail because it is quick and easy.ImageWe had a friend birthday party this year. Zanya's birthday was extra special because it was on Easter Sunday. She wanted to have an Easter themed birthday party so we: made bunny ears,
Imageate corn dogs (not Easter related but Zanya's favorite),
Imageand made bird nests. We also made Easter baskets and had an Easter egg hunt but we didn't take any pictures of that (?).
Image
ImageZanya insisted on having a bunny on her cake. She didn't want a cake in the shape of a bunny but an actual bunny on top of her cake. She was so specific and it sounded like a challenge so we had to try. Google images is very useful in these situations.
ImageI think she was happy with her cake.
Image
ImageWe love you, Zanya!
