Daisy turned 12

Daisy had a friend sleepover for her birthday. So on the Friday she had her friend over and the next day I took her and her friend shopping to spend Daisy's birthday money. She bought herself a camera. And she loves it and uses it often!!! She also wanted to use some of her money to pay for her and her friend to the movies, so I took them for lunch and then Chris took them to the theatres. Her birthday day was the following Monday, October 26th, and we had cake with just our family and she opened a gift from us which was a DS game.

Carebear Cake

I made this cake for Zipporah's friend Jailynn's birthday!! I think it turned out really cute!!! She loved it and thats what counts the most.

Abigail's Stitches

On the 18th of October Abigail went to take out the garbage. Without us knowing, there was broken glass in the bag. One swipe and she was sliced. I took one look at it, and new we had to endure another ER visit. Luckily this time, the list for stitches was short and we were in and out in less than 2 hours. But her wound however, lasted for several weeks. As you can see in the pictures at the end there is tape on her wound. The ER doctors decided to glue her cut, yes glue it and then put some tape on it to help hold the skin together. Then they put on a band aid. They told us to keep it dry for about 3 days. Well that night she was bleeding through bandages again, and by morning we could see that her wound was open. So I called out family doctor and they fit her in, in the afternoon. He said the the glue has to have nothing on it. And your skin naturally sweats when something is on it. So the tape caused sweating, which made the glue dissolve. The doctor said the ER doctors should know that and if they had to tape it to help keep it closed, they should have known that glue wasn't the right option. So the nurse cleaned it again and put on more bandages. So the wound had to heal on its on and took quite awhile. A boy at school even kicked her ankle on purpose on 2 different occasions, causing it to reopen. It was a painful long ordeal, thanks to the ER doctors who decide to take the fast easy and might I add wrong way to put her skin back together.


before ER

waiting for the ER doctors

hoping for no stiches.

After being cleaned

more waiting

yeah no stitches. Little did we know that if they just did the stitches, she could have been saved a lot of pain.

the tape and band aid the doctors put on her.

Not again...............sighhhhhhhhh

So this is what happens when you are busy cleaning the house. I was upstairs doing dishes, the kids were cleaning the basement, and Owen was hiding under a pile of pillows. Who new hiding in pillows could be so terrible. OK, so look closely at the first picture. This picture was taken last night before he went to bed. I needed his picture for a super Saturday project I needed to get done so I could display it today.




Did you get a good look???? So cute right????? Cute boy, nice curling blonde hair, so adorable. Look at it again if you have to, this was Owen until 2:45pm this after noon. Now scroll down.

Notice anything different????

How about now??????

These are the scissors, he had hiding under the pillows with him.

See how close he got to his scalp??? He is lucky he didn't cut his head. I should also mention these scissors have been missing FOREVER. Today I went down and cleaned in under and around everything so that the basement could finally be really really clean. Guess I should have just let things be. I didn't even see these while I was cleaning.

Chris got home 15 minutes after this happened, so he was able to shave Owen's head

He had to shave it with no guard, that's how close Owen got.

Yeah, not so funny!

move shaving

Introducing our new son Owen. Hairless boy as he is now known. j/k

Luckily he is still super cute. I should also mention that after he did this, he was super upset. I made him go look in the mirror and he was devastated that he cut his curls off and that we would have to take the rest off. He was so upset in fact, that we gave him his new cowboy hat we were saving for Christmas. I will take a picture of him in it tomorrow, he got it just before bed, so I forgot. But yup folks, cut your hair in this house and you get an early Christmas present. blah!!!!

Couple cakes I made recently

This is just a couple cakes I made recently. The first one was a birthday cake for a friend. I just iced the cake in buttercream and covered the outside with kit kats and then laid m & m's on top. The second was a wedding cake for a friends sister. That one I sent in pieces, but I did have to put a few flowers on it the night be fore and stack it just to make sure it was going to work, so I decided to take a picture, even though it isn't the final final result, close though. The flowers I made with fondant.

Spider........Owen???

One day, not too long ago, it was a day like any other day, I got the kids their supper, we had prayer, then I went and got my plate. I turned the corner into our dining room to find this. I was stunned, unable to move for a minute. Then I laughed and ran for my camera. Took a couple pictures and then Owen informed me he was eating supper like spiderman, because, of coarse, he is spiderman.

Ezra's 8 months old

I am so in love with this little guy. He army crawls around the room and mixes it with rolling and he can get anywhere and anything he wants in seconds. I need to get the video camera out tomorrow and do some Ezra videoing. He is making strange and just prefers his mom. If he is playing happily I have to sneak away and then make sure he doesn't see me, or he will scream for me until I come back. So I often sneak off and clean and just avoid him knowing I am close. Out of sight out of mind I guess, but once in his sights, there is no hope. But I do enjoy hanging out with him as much as I can. He can also get up on his hands and feet and sticks his butt in the air, it is so cute. He really loves Penny our Chihuahua, but she avoids his grabs at all cost. hahaha

I had to put him in his bumbo for awhile, cuz he just wants to move around so much. He especially likes to grab my camera.

LOVE these crazy smiles!!!

again, I just can't get enough of his crazy smiles, they make me laugh every time I see them.

hmmmm duck....good!!

he loves cars and trucks, this one is so cool cuz it is soft rubber so he can chew away without getting hurt.

Kisses from Penny!
