He's NINE! Woah.

Chocolate chip cookie cake -- yummy!





We tried a new yogurt place called Twist -- just as yummy as Yogurtland. Thumbs up from Ian!

Man, did time fly by. How did my baby get to be 9?!? Ian and Lucas and the buddies (Thomas and Coco) had a blast today. Wish we were in Mexico -- but we'll make it there soon. Thank you for all the wonderful presents and well wishes.

Gimme that fish!!!

Last night we went to Blake and Jenni's place and Jason got to use his new fishing pole.

Be sure the worm is on the hook! Gross.
Dude, you got one!
Tate says, "let it swim out and think it is getting away and then reel it in!"
Got a great looking fish here and saved the hook.

One last picture before we throw it back. Good practice for trout season to begin in 3 weeks.

Project #3

The "Domesticated Skirt."

That's what the woman called it on her blog. I found this when I was looking for a skirt pattern for Katie's MSU skirt. The blog is called "Sew in a Straight Line" which is what I'm trying to master. I liked what she did, so I thought I'd try making something for myself :) Her skirt was much neater than mine. I had to tweak a few things since she had a sewing tool I don't have. It is reversable for when you get it dirty and need a quick change!

Now I'm looking for project #4. Stay tuned...
