Yard Sale Buy of the Day


The 'Yard Sale Buy of the Day' Saturday was a sugar and creamer on a little plate. Check out the little wing handles. Too cute.

Alan


Alan is going to preschool now and is interested in letters and numbers. He rescues Molly from some of her escapades. He loves to build with the Duplo blocks and had a great 'shooter' that he modified many times. He is definitely a good helper and has lots of great ideas.

Deacon



Deacon does his level best to do whatever Alan is doing. He is a little lover pie and not so interested in getting into everything. He is interested in food and moves like a tank. He is quite a talker and is very easy to understand. He thought Jody was a barrel of fun and he chattered at her and listened intently as she chattered back at him.

Molly





Molly is quite an amazing little lady. She can get into more things faster than anyone I have ever seen. She actually pulled the wagon into the house all by herself, she can open ziplock bags, screw top containers, and rubbermaid containers. When she wants something she let's you know until she gets it. What a gal=)

Ebelskivers


The 'Yard Sale Buy of the Day' Friday was an Ebelskiver pan. All of the Tuttle clan has great memories of eating ebelskivers at the cabin. Grandma was quick to give me the recipe and I whipped them out Saturday morning before Cam headed back to Mexico. I'm not sure they were as Grandma's but I can practice a little bit=) Did you know that there are people that have blogs dedicated to ebelskivers?

New Resident




We had been noticing a humming bird hanging around the patio, but couldn't figure out why. The other night at dinner we noticed the very small nest on the lights we hung for Christmas. Here she is sitting in her nest. She is very dedicated and hardly every leaves the nest.

Spring Break







Cambria rolled into town on Thursday evening (Mar 12). My policy in this whole thing is to get in the car when they tell me. We went to the Quilt Show on Saturday, the Zoo on Monday (with Bill, Teresa, Brittney and her two boys), Jody's group home for pizza on Wednesday, The Arizona Museum of Natural History on Thursday, yard saling three times. Michelle stayed at the house for a few nights so we had the 3 little kiddles having fun.

Surprise


Will and Deacon playing with the marble game.


We talked to Marx and Maddox on Skype.


Will picked a bag of bugs out of the Birthday Treasure Chest.


Jack is getting cuter by the day and thinking about crawling.


Grandma and Grandpa (this was the only photo I had of them)


Charly picked the play high heels out of the Birthday Treasure Chest.

Wednesday night Grandma and Grandpa stopped by on their way home (St. George, UT) from Palm Springs, CA. We didn't know they were coming and it was a nice surprise. We went to dinner and helped Roy pick out a jacket for his presentation at the ASHE Conference March 10. Saturday Mick had the difficult job of hanging out with the motorcycle repair crew and attending to their needs, he tracked down q-tips for one thing. The Wild Hogs did get the motorcycle running for a few miles and then it was back on the block. Shirley and I went on a quilt shop tour and stopped for lunch at the Wildflower Bread Company. We also took some time to look at the books at Changing Hands. Sunday we had a very belated birthday party for Roy, Will, and Brook from February and Charly was included since her birthday was Monday. Roy took everyone over to the hospital and practiced his presentation for ASHE, he had many compliments. I stayed home to be the babysitter and I must say I was outnumbered, but everyone was very good (or asleep) so I did just fine.
