Update

It is 9:30pm, the house is quiet and I finally have some time to myself!



First I must post what Endry did yesterday....
he put himself into the Filing Cabinet.













And on to more normal things. So, I am so excited about this new project! My Mom and I have created a "monster"! We decided to give in to our temptations of the fabric store and find ways to use our "sins" and make some extra cash. Thus I have created a super cute pouch to hold diapers and wipes on the go, it is called the DiapeRoo

My Mom has been working on baby blankets, fashion scarfs and winter neck wraps called the Turtle!

We are creating so many other things in conjunction with many other craft inspired people and will be offering the Hand-Made items for sale though Kicks N Grins, Arts and Crafts. We will be at the Farmers Market in Topeka beginning on April 9, 2011 and have all items online on our blog at KicksNGrins.blogspot.com. (check us out! we are in the process of adding more information but hope to have all current projects online by Feb. 28th)

Butter and Cornbread

So, my sister Kezia challenged me to make at least ONE new recipe per week. (so that I can learn to branch out and become a good cook)

And so I pulled out some recipes that I found online and decided to try one out!
Saturdays Menu:
Chili
Cornbread
w/a side of Butter?!

Endry decided to have some butter while I made dinner...influenced by Grandma NaeNae!


Me with my recipe for this sinfully sweet cornbread...the crunchy outside is the best!


my chili n cornbread dinner...yummy!


(click here if you want to try out the cornbread recipe)

One week down...I think I will try something more exotic next time.

SNOW!!

All the snow that I wanted for Christmas came about a month late!
We got about 9 inches in Topeka this week. So, I had to take Endry out in it.


Endry watching Daddy clear the snow


trying to help...with a rake!


"Daddy's 'rake' is so much cooler!"


the face I kept getting when I wanted to take a photo


Me and Endry in the snow


Endry fell in the snow and thought it was funny!


Mr. Cutie


making snow angels when it is still snowing is hard to do...even worse to try to take photos of it.


this is my mom's car...and we still had about 8 hours more of snow after I took this photo

I love the snow! I think I should move somewhere more north cuz I would rather have the snow than the hot sun....as long as I have somewhere to go and play. This snow was good though, pretty light and not a lot of ice at all. But boy did it get cold! Burrrrr

Endry Loves to Sew...

Here are a few photos of Endry and Grandma sewing. He loves to watch people sew, and my mom is the only one good enough to let him sit on her lap while she sews.



Endry : quick grab the machine while she isn't looking!
 Ok, and this is just a random video from when Endry was like 10 months old when he was starting to stand on his own.
