It's OFFICIAL! We are moving to Corpus Christi, Texas for the summer! Nathan officially accepted an internship offer there this morning. We are so excited to finally live somewhere sunny. Unfortunately we have almost a full semester to finish up before we move so we are going to have to try really really hard to stay focused and not think about the warm weather while we are walking to school in the -20's.

Nathan turned 24 Today!

Nathan's mom taught us how to make stained glass! It was really fun but a lot more work and a few more steps than i was wanting. Luckily though we love the finish product, even if it isn't perfect.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

My sister Rachel... she is on the right of this picture... had a birthday Saturday. I was going to post this Saturday but got caught up in moving. So Happy Late Birthday RACHEL!!!

Mini Baja!

Saturday my dad and two sisters came to visit. Luckily that was the same day Nathan and his SAE buddies were taking the mini baja out for a test drive. The goal was to break as many things as possible and find all the weak spots on the car. We all had such a fun time trying to wreck the car... well until Hana decided to actually wreck it. Hana took it off a pretty steep cliff and when she landed the front left axle (i think) broke and that was the end of the joy rides.
I think the best part was how much fun (see picture above) my old dad had driving it. He was better than a little kid in a candy store. What a great way to spend the weekend with my family.

Just in case you are wondering what i do in my free time here it is, i make lots of playdough for lots of little preschool kids.




And in case you want to make lots of playdough for lots of little kids here is the recipe:
2 Cups of flour
4 tsp cream of tartar
1 cup of salt
2 Tbsp of oil
2 Cups of water
Food coloring of your choice!
1. Mix all the ingredients together in a saucepan
2.Heat on stove until mixture solidifies and pulls away from the sides of the pan.
3. Remove from the heat and knead immediately to finish mixing.
5. Store in an air tight container.
