A messy child, an adopted Pointer and some amazing cakes and pillowcase dresses.

We feed Thomas baby food and in the afternoon I came and saw the following scene.



Lilly decided that she would help feed Thomas. Thomas didn't mind at all.

Last Wednesday we tried to go find an adopted dog for our family to bond with. We didn't realize how sick Taden was and decided to take him anyway. I have never seen Taden so uninterested. He didn't want to look at the dogs and didn't care about being there. At midnight Maranda took him to the ER and he was severely dehydrated and spent the next 3 days in the hospital with Rota Virus. He is now complely better and on Saturday he said, "Daddy I want a puppy." We went back to Evansville and found Katie a pointer, springer spaniel mix. She is about 3 years old and is learning commands very well.







Maranda has found that she has a very creative knack for creating dresses and cakes. 



She made a cake for Groundhog's day and it even had a Groundhog that moved up and down.





Each year the Relief Society (The women's organization of our church) has a birthday celebration. Maranda made a cake that matches one of their symbols.




Here are pillowcase dresses she has made for Lillyana.
