Happy Belated Birthday Jesus Cake

Every Discover Kid that came to Discover Point on Christmas participated in a HUGE Birthday party for Jesus AND they left with a treat bag. The treat bag contained a box of cake mix, a container of frosting, a noise maker, party hat, and a cute little note to the parents that encouraged them to bake the cake together have a Birthday Party for Jesus at home with the family. 

Things have finally calmed down enough for us so we decided that today was the day of Jesus' belated Birthday Celebration!! 

Time to make the cake......

Each one got to help out....

Then it was time to watch the mixer do its job. 

After the cake cooled it was time to ice it. 

They did a great job icing our cake.

Next it was star sprinkle time!!

Here's our finished birthday cake for Jesus! Can't wait till after dinner so we can all have a slice. 

Getting Some Exercise!

The other day we all went for a walk before dinner. The next day Hayden said that her legs hurt all day because of the long walk the day before! So, yesterday I had the girls run around the house to get some exercise. 

 The loved it!! 

Then Layner got distracted and started picking flowers! 

Panther of the Month

All dressed and waiting for sister's assembly to begin. This is her absolute favorite outfit of all times. She was so excited that it was raining so that that she could wear her perfectly matching rain boots!!

Our little Panther of the Month!!

Steelers and More

Ready for the Steeler game last Sunday. It wasn't on TV, but I listened to it and updated the girls! Thanks for the new jersey Grandma and Pap!


This glorified cardboard box is what Layne picked out for Hayden for Christmas this year. They love it! And they can color as they play!!

Back to running. It actually helps with the nausea and sensitivity to smells and foods! The cool weather is great too. Just going to keep it between 2-5 miles every other day. It's nice to get back into running...pace is a little slower though :)

Baby Bump Week 11

Last Days in the Sunshine State

One day we went to Gulf Port to see Sep and Morgan's new place and they took us out to breakfast! They live in such a cute little part of town....loved it! Here we are walking to the docks.

We hung out at their place for a while. We were all entertained by the Wii!! And of course little Layner.

Assisting the girls with the Wii. They loved MarioKart.

Their neighbor has an orange tree. So, for snack daddy picked them an orange!

Then we were off to Snoballs. Hayden had one of their seasonal flavors-peppermint snowflake!

Layner had an old time favorite....sharks blood (I think).


I had the Pirates Treasure which is unreal. Jerm and Johnny had a stuffed caramel apple which was SO GOOD!

SO COLD......but I must finish!

On our last night we all went out to The Olive Garden and had a delicious meal together! Totally worth the 45 minute wait.

Back to Pappy's place for more Wii.....

Pooped!

The adults had a cookie decorating contest. There were make shift piping bags, forks, toothpicks, and many more tools used in the process.



All of the entrants. That nigh we went over to dad and Melody's for dinner. We then awarded prizes in different areas. I can't remember all of the categories, I do remember that my stocking won Best Overall!!

Christmas in Florida

This year we are spending Christmas in Florida with Pappy, Melody, Johnny, Mwende, September, and Morgan. Here are the girls just enjoying the nice warm weather on Pappy's front porch.

The other day on our way to the beach we stopped by September and Morgan's house to pick some grapefruit. I have never seen grapefruit so big! They have a huge back yard with two grapefruit trees and maybe even an avocado tree too!

Then it was off to the beach. I didn't bring suits with us because I thought that it would be too cold for them to swim that day. So, instead we just stripped them down to their undies!

I have no idea what nut ball is doing here. Maybe it's her impression of a sea gull taking flight.

The water was ice cold so the girls just did a lot of digging in the sand.

Wet toes is as far as we got!

Pappy and the girlies

Lastly, we thought that it would be a great idea to pile sand on our bums.

Yesterday Johnny and Mwende brought over a gingerbread house kit!

We all sat  around the table and put it together. Some (Johnny) were a little messier about the decoration that others.

We had a major flaw in the foundation right from the start. Somebody (same person as mentioned above) turned the side boards of the house the wrong way during building. And none of us caught it!! He even trimmed the two side pieces so that they would fit that way! Oh well, it's Florida so it's an open air house!
