Happy Birthday Mom and Clint

We celebrated my Mom's birthday and my Brother's birthday last weekend. It was so much fun playing with the Okerlund cousins. Because there where so many of us, we celebrated @ Chuck-a-Rama... Claire calls it "Chuck-a-Grandma."

Recycled Layers of the Earth Project

Haley's Layers of the Earth project was so much fun. She wanted it all be made out f recycled material (except for the foam form.) The outside was made with blue tissue paper and paper bags. The inside core was made out an old tape measure, plastic bags (colored red, ironed- and melted together), a bouncy bag that was no longer played with (it would light up when it is hit)

She worked really hard and did a great job- her teacher wanted to keep it.... so we took a few pictures to remember when it's Ryan's turn.
