Beer Bottle Cap Table

It is finally finished!!!

Winter Fun

This winter has been quite mild to say the least. We had to take advantage of any snow we had.  Erin had a couple of good "snow playing" days sprinkled throughout the season. On the most recent, I grabbed my camera and headed out for a minute.

They made a fort with her swimming pool.

Purdue vs Northwestern

Ryan and I met Phil and Kip and Wrobel and his friend Matt in West Lala a few weekends ago for a Sunday evening basketball game. We had a blast with our friends!

We spent a bit of time at Harry's. :) Good times!

Dress Up



Erin has really taken to dressing up. She always seems to be wearing her tiaras, high heels and various other accessories whenever given the chance.

And Cowgirl hats!

My Love: Pinterest

Ode to Pinterest:

Oh how I love thee. What would I have done without you?!? I didn't know I couldn't live without a headband holder

or a chalkboard wall.

What would I do without a hair piece board,

bottle cap magnets

diaper cake motorcycles

or marble magnets?

I find so much I have to have. It is very difficult to choose!  So many pins, so little time.

Now to decide what to do next! (bottle cap table is looking good!)

Notre Dame Basketball

Brian won tickets to go see the Notre Dame Men's basketball team play South Florida.  Erin and Ryan went with Brian and Great Grammy.  Erin, of course, loves all things "Doter Dame" and was all decked out for the occasion.
 

Notre Dame Earrings, Headband, tshirt and shamrock socks!



At the game, she insisted on having a hot dog (even after eating a good amount at dinner!)

New Year's Eve

As is our annual tradition, we headed down to Lakeville to ring in the new year with the Weatherly's.  My brother and Taylor made the trip with us. We had a great time with great friends!

Erin & Her Makeup

Erin got tons of makeup, jewelry, jewelry boxes and dress up items including tiaras, tutus and high heeled shoes for Christmas. She loves every bit of them!  One evening she did however go a bit overboard on her makeup...

Luckily we weren't going anywhere! She is actually quite skilled at eye makeup application! Maybe she'll be a hair-beauty girl!

Snowman!

Erin and Mommy made a small snowman last week. The first of the season!





Then Erin made her very own "snow duck"



Then it was time for a snow angel

More Christmas!

Since it is the new year already, thought it would be best to finish up the rest of my Christmas posting!
My grandma and I made Erin a Christmas dress!

Here she is in her dress and a tiara and fancy shoes from Uncle Mitch and Taylor!
