I feel old..


HI there peeps. I feel old lately. There are kids I baby sat graduating from High School this year. The 2012 there were graduating.  Yikes.. Then in my own house hold we had a b-day this month.  Brianna turned 8 years old on June 2nd.  Jeff and I celebrated 16  years on that day also.  Yikes.. Bri asked for  a carebear cake for her b-day. We couldnt afford to buy her one specially made so we made a home made one. Here are the pics. Briancas BF said we needed both cakes but didnt.  So we told Bri she was getting a cake with care bear bellies instead.  lol.  It was funny. but the only thing she could say when she saw the home made bear was WOW... Then on Sunday we went for a hike and these are the photo's I took. Not many this trip.But have more pix for another post on the sanctuary later on in the week.

  1. That Carebear cake is wonderful! Some of the best memories you'll make with your kids is when you get creative and show them your love regardless of the money issue. When my daughter Mindy was 3years old she wanted one of those Radio Flyer red wagons, only she wanted it in neon lime green and hot pink, as is appropriate for a little girl. Well obviously, they don't make wagons in those colors and we did't have the money to buy one of those wagons. Luckily, I spotted an old rusty wagon at a yard sale and as a project, Min and I picked out paint colors, worked on sanding, patching and painting that wagon. It turned out great, she loved it, and everywhere I dragged her in that wagon, people wanted to know where we found a "little girl's" wagon. We made great memories because we didn't have the money to buy something.

  4. You did so well with that cake, it looks good! Tell me about getting old. If it wasn't for everyone around me getting older I could pretend I was still a teenager myself!
