Sunday Nap on Father's Day 2010

Mike took Madeline out in the hall right before the sacrament. To put her to sleep but when sacrament was over she was not a sleep so about half way follow Sunday school they were both a sleep and one of the lady ask if it would be okay if she could take a photo because she thought it looked sweet. We have the 1-4 time and that is Madeline nap time.

Baked Potatoes in the crock pot

We have a lot of potatoes. That I need to do something with and I didn't what to heat the house up to baked them. So I was talking to a friend who dose a lot with potatoes and she said that she thought that she read or heard somewhere that you could cook potatoes in the crock pot. So after hanging up after talking to her. I googled to see if they had anything that would let me know if I could and how to cook them in the crock pot. I found a couple of place that told me how long to cook them and what needs to go in the crock pot.

Wash the potatoes, poke a fork in the potatoes, wrap them in foil, and put them in the crock pot. Fill the crock pot with the potatoes. cook on low for 8-10 hours and 2-4 f on low.

I used a 2.5 qt. ( I think that is the right size but I haven't found for sure that is the right size of the crock pot the picture look like the right one). I cooked my for 4 hours on low and they turned out get. The picture below is my crock pot. But mine is green. I got the photo from http://www.crockpot.com/

Madeline and the Whipped Cream

On Saturday April 3, 2010 went to the cheese cake factory for dinner (it was Randall's birthday). Madeline was enjoying Mike whipped cream from his cheese cake that he had after we were done with dinner. The pictures are not in an order. She got it in her hair and up her arms. She had fun eating it and playing in it.

Easter 2010

Aunt Julie and uncle Charlie sent the family some Easter gift. So I tried to get picture of the girls opening them. But Madeline to one look at and hand it back to tell I pulled the bunny that had a egg with candy then she want the egg. So each person in the Zielke family got a (wash cloth bunny) bunny with a egg and candy. I think that she made my whole family one for Easter. We opened up are gift the Sunday before we left to go to Mike's parents for Easter. I did get picture of the Easter basket. Autumn woke up before Mike and I did, So when I got up she all ready had her basket and was looking at what she got. In Autumns basket she had hat, gloves, tink bell back pack, and the princess and frog DVD, and a book about tea party's and a small tea set for two people. In Madeline basket she had a hat, gloves, tink bell backpack, book about prayer, coloring book and some little people toys. I hope that I get everything that was in the basket. I'm think that we will have a candy free Easter basket from now on.

I got the girls Easter dresses (we only buy the girls new dresses at Easter and Christmas) SO we let the girls wear the dress on March 28, 2010. I want to get some picture will it was hard to do then I would have like it to. By the time they were dress and ready to go to Church it was starting to get close to Madeline nap time ( Church is at 1-3). And I can't get the girls the act normal for a good picture of them together and trying to get one of Madeline by herself was no easy because she want to take a nap. So these are the best that I got of them.

Organizing the photos

I was organizing the photos on my laptop. Found some funny photos of the girls that were taken over the last couple of months.

I was fold cloth and Madeline took a dress of her and put it on. (it is around her waist.) Tyring to wear daddy's shoe. She has one one the right way and the other on back wards. She like to try any one shoe that are left out.

We were get ready to go some were and I asked Madeline to get her coat and put it. And she put it on back wards.

After
I was emptying the dryer so that I could fold clothes and Madeline was trying to put on Autumns shirt. I like it when Madeline lets me take picture of her and she doesn't walk over to me when trying to get picture of her.

Madeline brought me the blanket to me and asked me to wrap her in it.

Cleaning Part Two

I don't take before pictures. I will have to remember to.


I have been trying to clean my house and find a stop for everything the last couple of times that I have cook something I had to pull all the spice out to get the one I want. So I went to IKEA and got some tub that I could put the spice in so they are easier to pull out and find what I need. I have put a paper on the door that tells me what is on easy shelf and what I have. I had the white and green basket. The clear ones I bought at IKEA by the Tupperware area. This is the cabinet that I pick alot of the medication for the family. (just the stuff that is open) The top shelf has the girls stuff. The middle shelf has my self in the white basket and mike stuff in the green basket. The bottom shelf has cutting board the small ones and the flavoring to make Punch and the girls daily vitamin.

I will have to show you my kitchen. I wish I had more space to put this in so check for that post on my kitchen. coming soon

Valentine's Flowers

Today the UPS drop of a box from pro flowers and it had Flowers, Chocoaltes and a vase it for me from Michael for Valentine's. I don't range it like a a flower shop would but that is okay because they are from Michael. When I was cutting the 1 inch off to put them in the water I cut one to short to fit in the vase that came with so I let Autumn have it and she what to put it in the pink vase.

I think I need a new camrea

What do you think? Can you see the lines in those two photos? What kind should I get? Remember I don't have alot of money to be buying one. When I told Mike I need a new camera because of the red lines that was on the LCD display of the camera he told me that it was just the LCD display and it wouldn't show up on the photos and here they are. I would like a small that will fit in my purse or diaper bag. (look below the photos to see what I have been looking at)
