Valentine's Day Baking

It is so much fun being able to "cook" with Ella now. She helps me stir. She also helps clean out the bowls!!! We gave cupcake to some of Ella's favorite people.

One of the many reasons we love Auntie Mimi!!!

As any good auntie would do, Auntie Mimi fed Ella some of Gramps birthday cake before we headed back to KC.

Gramps' B-day Weekend

Drew, Ella and I flew up to WI for my dad's 60th b-day. For those of you who do not know my dad, he LOVES trains. The Milwaukee Dome's had a train/lego exhibit in one of the dome's the weekend we were in town. So, of course we had to go see them. Ella loved looking at them and also running up and down the ramps. Ella had a blast, but I think Gramps had the most fun!!

My Newest Quest...

So, as most people know, I dropped my hours back to 2 shifts a month. I did this so I could take over billing at the clinic while Meghan is on maternity leave. Thus, I've been trying to find ways to save money. I have been a coupon cutting bandit!!! Sunday is now my favorite day!!! It was my goal for the new year to save 50% off my grocery bill. I was so excited about saving 52%, I had to share it with you all!!! I know, I need to get a life!!!

Sweet Valentine

Our very sweet and generous friend Cassie made this Valentine's day shirt for Ella!!! Too cute!! Thanks Cassie.

Chillin' with an apple!!

"Sledding"
