Little Chef

So on Saturday Nick once again had tickets to the Aggie game (they won!!) anyway so off he and Brenten went for some male bonding...Loo La and I were left to our own devices and after a little Dora and some pretty toes, we decided it was time for some chocolate...we made a DELICIOUS and I do me SCRUMPTIOUS chocolate cake...click HERE for the recipe...anyway heres a few shots, I realize the photos aren't the best...and honestly the cake isn't the "prettiest" I've ever made..but oh it is SO good and pretty easy to make so I highly suggest...give it a try!

PS even before you start to look at the photos...I know I take and post WAY too many pictures...but enjoy then anyway!

Getting started..

Adding some ingredients...

Checking the progress

Chopping nuts...

Lexie was so proud she chopped them "all by herself"

And into the oven went the cake...

An hour later, it was baked, frosted and slightly cooled

and we had a bite...oh..yum! Too bad I didn't photo us enjoying our treat!

Dance...Day Two

And this week she was pink....Miss Loo La Lay was so excited to wear her pink. And once again she LOVED being a ballerina. However she was not so into the predance photo shoot this week. The girl would not sit still for me to take her picture. Oh well, I like these shots anyway...I hope you do too!

One of the ballet dances they are learning is called My Little Tiny Toes...it is SO CUTE!

Just goofing off..."Here mom take my picture like this..."

Maybe we'll try outside, then she'll stand still...

Nope not a chance...

#1 Nascar Fan...

So I 100% blame this on our neighbor, but Brenten has decided he's a Nascar Fan these days...he loves to watch the car races. Don't Judge us!! :) Anyway I found this fabric, and decide to try my hand at sewing (it is a New Years Resolution), I thought his pjs turned out cute, and he was WAY excited! Let's Go Racin Boys!!

So She Thinks She Can DANCE!!!

So here is my "beautiful ballerina..." Lexie has been telling me she wants to learn to be a beautiful ballerina, for quite sometime now. I have wanted to sign her up for dance since the day she was born...but decided to wait until she was ready! :) Even now I really went back and forth, part of me thought she was too little (she is only 2) but another part knew she would love it. But then also comes the question of WHERE??!!!?? My friends daughter teaches dance at the rec center, since I wasn't sure if Lexie would really love to go to dance (and stay by herself) I figured maybe that would be a good place to start. What was I worried about~that girl was born to boogie! She couldn't wait for class, and with barely a glance over her shoulder was off. For the first lesson parents could stay and watch, and can I tell you there was no prouder mom in the place...she was so focused on the teachers and trying so hard to learn what they told her. She cannot wait until next week. I love that she LOVES dance so much!

She was so excited to put on her "ballerinas clothes, and have pretty sparkly ballerina hair"

Here's my girl getting ready to go....Lovin those sparkle leg warmers!
