Bagel Bird Feeder

What you'll need:


Bird food,Bagel,Peanut Butter and string
What to do:

Put peanut butter all over bagel, even on the sides.( I did this pretty thick)
After the bagel is covered in peanut butter start adding the bird seed
I put the bird seed in a bowl and droped my bagel in the bowl and then flipped it
to the other side for even coverage.



I then tied a string through the hole and hung on my bird feeder out side




Easy as pie. Now get out there and feed them birdies.

This is also a nice project to do with the kids.

Spring time with the Spinnati's








Spring time... I like spring, but it does come with it's downfalls. One like, you know, rain. We've had massive amounts of rain this spring.  Rain is good though. My lawn looks amazingly green. Which is my favorite color.


When it's not raining, we try to get outside. Braxton is enjoying his new sandbox and the slide that his Nanner's gave him. We have a blue buggy that he enjoys when we take our evening walks. A few pictures below. (Okay, it's more then a few)


I love his chubby feet.



Chong is his Best friend (our 7 year old pekingese)
Braxton loves his daddy.

I follow Enjoying the small thing's blog. She is amazing at photography. Especially the pictures she takes of her children.  She makes me want to go out and spend a fortune on a new camera in hopes of getting pictures like the ones she has taken. I acquired a nice camera from my Mother in Law( who also is into photography, and in the process of starting her business) . I just don't know how to use it properly.  I think I'll read the manual, and start my savings for one of those Nikon D90's.


Cheers to you and spring, cheers to me learning how to take better photo's

Pippa the maid of honor in the royal wedding had the most amazing dress.
I for one have not really been paying much attention to the royal wedding, but it's on every news station and on every website, so I kinda had to take a peek and.......
Wow, this dress is absolutely gorgeous. I want to get married again ( to Bret of course) and wear this dress. Classic. Beautiful. Stunning.

Everything Sock Monkey


This post is a little late. These are pictures from my son's 1st birthday party. The theme was sock monkeys. I was totally obsessed with everything sock monkey for about 4 months when planning his party. I scoured every website that even mentioned sock monkey. I couldn't believe how hard to was to find sock monkey party supplies unless you had someone make them for you. I turned to ETSY.COM and found a couple of wonderful vendors that supplied me with some great sock monkey merchandise.

Happy 1st birthday Braxton. (Jan 30th 2011)
