Amelia is 5!

For her birthday this year, Amelia wanted to have a Frozen birthday. The kids don't usually eat much cake at parties, just ice cream, so I made an ice cream cake.

 One of her favorite gifts was a karaoke machine complete with a Frozen cd. All the kids enjoyed singing, even Kate.

Jewelry making after the party was over.

 Today I took treats to school for her party. I made chocolate dipped frozen bananas. Amelia helped me make them by putting on the sprinkles.

Grandmas' Birthdays

Last week mom and Pat both celebrated their birthdays. For mom, Ashley and the kids came up and we all had supper at our house.

 For Pat's birthday, Travis took her to dinner and a movie in Wichita. The next day, Truman was very upset that we didn't have a cake for her, so I mixed up some brownies and called them over. He just likes to help blow out the candles.

Valley Falls

Last week I went to Valley Falls for a kansas sampler foundation retreat. It was a great time of brainstorming and meeting new, like minded people from rural Kansas.  One day we took a field trip to Atchison for the afternoon.  The old houses there are amazing.
