March Madness

Big news around here: Caitlin's turned 8!! This Saturday she'll be baptized and she can't wait! She was nervous about her interview with the Bishop, but it all went well and she's very excited about being baptized! Here's some party pictures!




$5 is A LOT to and 8-year old! Kudos, Winegars- you scored in Caitlin's book!






Her very own mini glue-gun. She thought this was pretty darn awesome!


For the first time ever, I made a pinata (it's the cat head). If I had known how fun it was, I would have made one a long time ago! It was messy & crafty (which =fun), and everyday the girls were eager to find out how much more I had done on it. This being an "even" birthday, it was a "party" year, which means invitations, favor bags, etc. We had her little friends over on a Friday night, and they watched the new Muppets movie, with Amy Adams and Jason Segal. It's hilarious, I loved it!




The family party cake.





This is my Lady Banks' Rose in bloom. It only happend once a year for a week or two, so I had to photograph it. It vines on an old metal chair.










I made homemade marshmallows! These tasted EXACTLY like store-bought ones. It was fun to make, but I can't say I'll do it again. I am glad though to know how to make marshmallow creme from scratch, that's an essential life-skill, right?

Let me know if this video of Haley works: She's 9 months old, can you believe it??? Where has the time gone?
