A Kindergarten Thanksgiving

OctNov 2009 022

Miles is loving kindergarten.  He loves all the art projects.  He is constantly singing songs that he has learned and is very expressive with his hand motions :-)  Super cute!!!!!!  He is making new friends and loves his teacher.  I love kindergartners!  Today they had a mini Thanksgiving feast and tasted all the traditional Thanksgiving food.

Finger Print Fun

Pony 002


I picked this book up at Lakeshore Learning Store along with multi colored stamp set.  My kids love arts and crafts.  A great gift idea!  We also have a drawing book from the same artist.  The kids use it a lot! Most of kids drawing books are hard for the little kids to do but Miles could follow along each step all by himself back when he was 4.  Mason is 7 and really enjoys it too!

Happy Birthday Ellie!!!!

Ellie's First Birthday 024

Ellie's First Birthday 052 

I can't believe it has been a year already!  Ellie is such a blessing.  Her brothers love her more than I ever thought they could and I love this precious girl more than I can tell you.  Thank you God for this amazing gift of life!!!  Lord give me wisdom in raising her. 



Uncle David

Ellie's First Birthday 003

David (and Hao) are baby magnets!  Everytime they come over they grab Ellie.  She loves those guys.  Avary (Jake and Lauren's daughter) is so adorable and such a chatter box.  It is so much fun to watch them!



Legoland

The boys think this is the best place on earth.  Mason and Miles are part of a Lego club and got 3 one day tickets to Legoland.  Awesome!

Thankful

We attended Pat and Eleni's beautiful wedding last week.  She was absolutely gorgeous!  Eleni also has inner beauty.   Her character is just as radiant.  What a wonderful couple that desires to serve and glorify God.  We are so happy for them!  The one picture I got of them was blurry :-(  I can't wait to see Tracy's pictures of them.  Where was Tracy when I got married??  So anyways here we are with some fabulous friends on a beautiful evening.

Stuff Cobbs Like #34: The Pioneer Woman

Halloween '09 081

If you don't know the Pioneer Woman already you really need to!  I want to run away with my family and be a Pioneer Woman, except without the cows :-)  I got her new cookbook in the mail last week.  Fabulous!  This would make a great Christmas gift!  BTW:  I still have never won any of her contests!  What is up with that?!!

Here is a link to The Pioneer Woman's Cookbook

And Bakerella has posted a sneak peek inside the Pioneer Woman's cookbook.
