Wende's Wonderful Time Machine Pie

Dear Jane, 
   Today we were quite creative. 

 I dusted off the good ole sewing machine (Figuratively. Not literally. I hate dusting.) and hemmed up the edges of my homemade woven wrap. 

Simple Pimple.
It's just a 6 yard x 30 inches piece of fabric. You seem to like it quite a bit. Guess you could be so happy there cause you're squatched right up against me. I'll have some work ahead of me figuring out all the different ways to tie you to me though. 

  You always loved the moby wrap. Boy, do I miss those first few trips we took to walmart. I'd  pop you into the moby and you'd fall right asleep against me. Scratching my chest with your crazy fingernails. (remember how I quit cutting them?!?) Now with this new wrap I can tie you up on my back. So hopefully we'll be using it on a trip to walmart soon!

...

The other creative thing we did was make "Better than Sex Pie" Yuhhhuuhhuuummmy!
You were on my back while I made it. I think I danced more than I normally would have. Dancing while making it is just like working out, right?

Anywho, here's the recipe: 

 (Not sure who Bonnie is.)

Fun fact: I texted Uncle Cris to see if he'd have Aunt Beth give me the recipe. Instead of a written out recipe I got these pictures. AWESOME! :) 

Gramma Sue used to make this. Whenever I taste it I can close my eyes and be 6 years old in Waldron at her house on Bruce Court. It's a time machine. Maybe that's what I should call it... 

Wende's Wonderful Time Machine Pie 

I do like that title. But it's definitely not my recipe so I can't claim it. So, "Better Than Sex Pie" it shall remain.

Hakuna Matata

Dear Jane,
  
   Today I realized that WE are funny girls. 

(I didn't JUST realize it. I guess I rerealized it. Made up that word just for you.)

We had a great morning hanging out with Aunt Duh and E. (they are funny too... just not mommy-janie funny.)

You let me do the dishes while just sitting in your high chair then I had to untangle Sassy's rope then I came inside and wouldn't you know it Hakuna Matata was playing on pandora so OF COURSE I sang along to you. 


It's our jam, girl.



You kicked and wiggled and smiled and drooled. Mmmm!

These are the moment that I live for. 

Fitting for such a funny afternoon are these pictures that we took from E's ipad. These pictures make me kick and wiggle and smile and drool. They are that funny!

 (Just look at that nose!)

 (and those lips!)

 (Now, you're getting the hang of it)

(yikes) 

 (Back to the cuteness!)

 (HAHAHAHA)

(1... 2... Chins? I Think so!)

Baby Child. You are such a good sport! 

I love you funny girl!
Love, 
 Mommy



P.S. This is the cutest picture in the history of pictures:

Love you.

Happy Birthday E!!!

Also, It's E's 50th birthday! So we called it your happy birthday present to E. 

Please note the skinny jeans. Yeah, that's right You're 4+ months old and they are size 0-3 months. Aunt Duh is so proud that you are becoming a little fashionista just like her!

It's getting warmer outside and you just love it. We've enjoyed stroller rides (you almost instantly fall asleep) and walks with you in the kelty!
