It just clicked I will add some robbon I already have and just hang the pictures on there. I love it. It's so cute and cost me nothing.

Cake Pops

This year for some of my friend's in our new ward I made some cake pops. I saw these on one of my favorite web sites I had so much fun making them, they may have taken all day but it was worth it. If you want to know how to make them go here to this website http://www.bakerella.com/its-beginning-to-look-a-lot-like-christmas/

Ginger Bread

We hand our annual Boulter Family ginger bread house decorating last week. The kids made their own. Emmalee is getting pretty good. She is getting the concept that it is a house so make it look like a house. Bradley just wants to get as much candy and frostin on as posable. And my is beautiful I love it. My mom found the little trains at CVS. They are not eatable but are so cute. Here they are.

Broken

Emmalee has chipped fractured her right ankle. She was jumping on the trampoline with all of her cousins and got double bounced went flying in the air and came down wrong on her ankle. Luckily she landed on the trampoline and not on the ground. She is going to be in a cast for 3 weeks. We are hoping to get it off before her birthday.

Brian's Birthday

For Brian's birthday this year I figured I have put so much work into my kids cakes that I needed to do the same or my wonderful husband. So I made him these lovely cup cakes. I just made the guitars out of melting chocolate and black frosting from a tube i bought at walmart. It was easy and fun and they looked awesome.

Visit from Canada

My Nana came from Canada to visit for a week so we took the opportunity to take some pictures with her.

We also took family photos. I am going to send out a christmas card with those pictures so if you want one and I don't have you address please leave a comment with your address and I would love to send you one. ( Laural and Lisa I don't have yours so please leave a comment with your address)

Happy Birthday Aiden

My baby is 1. I can't believe how time has flown. Aiden grew up so fast. Here are some great photos of his party. Thanks to everyone who came. We had a great time.

Thanksgiving

I had the wonderful opportunity to do the Barton Family thanksgiving this year. I was so wonderful having all the family over not only to help in the yard but to just spend time with them. Here are some photos of the table. Thanks to my hubby for letting me buy all of it, it made everything so much better.

Here is the kids table. I went to the dollar store and bought some crayons and stickers for them to color with. I put butcher paper on the table and let them go at it. They did so well and we got to eat a nice meal without any winey kids

My Birthday

So for my birthday this year I wanted to go camping so that is what we did. WE had a lot of fun and it was so nice and relaxing. No messes to clean up and no nagging mom(me) yelling at the kids to not get dirty. I let them have at it and they did pretty much anything they wanted. There was a park to camp spot away from ours so we let the kids play and have fun most of the weekend. On my birthday Saturday Brian and his family came up to celebrate the fun day. Thanks to everyone who came it was a blast. Here are some photos of the fun.

These are some of the lovely gifts i received

A chopping blog from the hubby

And flowers and a clean home when we got back from camping from the hubby.

Crazy

My life as I know it has become crazy and hectic. We have been so busy with holidays and birthdays. I will try to catch everyone up on our family.

Happy Birthday Hannah

My niece Hannah had her first birthday party last saturday and I wanted to make her something cute. Then I remembered at one of my friends baby showers my sister saw a pair of baby bloomers she wanted and asked if I could make her some. So I decided I would make them for her birthday. I also made matching hair bows a leggings. Here they are.

Here are the bloomers by them selfs. So cute. Makes me want to have another child just so I can have a girl for these cute things. But I guess Hannah will just have to be good enough for now.

Fall Crafts

I put some pictures up of the calendars I made for my kids to count down the days till halloween and i thought something was missing so I saw the word "BOO" on my friends piano and decided I had to make them(thanks Jen). They cost me $5 to make. I also needed stands to put the calendars on so I bought some that were silver at wal-mart for $1 each. I then spray painted them black and this is the display on my piano I love it.

I wanted to put out these autumn blocks I made a few years ago but wanted to spice it up a bit, so my mom bought me this fall garland and I went to Hobby Lobby and got some christmas lights for $2. I am so happy with the way it all turned out.

Emmalee Shea Barton

Here is my big girl Emmalee's first grade picture. She is growing up so fast. Yesterday Emmalee was in out room getting ready for church and Brian said to Emmalee, "When did you get to be so big? Stop growing up". I can't believe she is going to be 7 in 3 months and be baptized in a year. Time has gone by so fast. Some times I miss my baby girl. But I love how grownup and responsible she is becoming.

Wall E Cake

On Saturday my nephew Caleb had his 3rd birthday, and my sister asked me if I could make him a life size Wall E cake. So I tried my best and this is how it turned out. I had so much fun making it. Putting all the pieces together was tricky. I made 2 sets of fingers and all of them fell apart so he has hand with no fingers. I am so excited to make kids birthday cakes this year. Wall E was a good start. Here are some pictures of the cake.

My sister mad these cute cake pops of eva. So cute. We are so creative. We give all the credit to our mother. She is such a great example to us. We love you mom.

Our Little Drummer Boy

Aiden has found a new hobby. He loves to play the drums. Most of the time he is standing up and holding onto the drums with one hand and drumming with a stick in the other. The funny thing is he always has to have a stick to hit the drums with he wont just hit it with his hands. He's a funny kid!

Lost Tooth

On Sunday Emmalee lost her first tooth. She was eating a cracker and it fell out. She was so excited .

Halloween Crafts

My friend Jen and I were in a crafting mood so I found these ideas and ran with them.

I think they are super cute and my kids keep asking me when they can start eating their candy.

The Boys Blankets

I made the boys their quilts a couple of weeks ago and thought I would share them with you all.
