Just some random pictures

Not much to say with this post. Here are some pictures that I have taken the last couple weeks so thought I would upload to share with you all. Enjoy

Valentines Day

I was asked by Dawson's kindergarten teacher if me and a couple moms could think up a couple of games for the kid's Valentine's party. I said sure and rounded up a couple more moms to come up with some ideas. We decided to play musical chairs with the kids but use hearts instead of chairs. I alsovolunteered to make a pinata. Not sure how many of you have ever made a pinata, but I remember the last one I made was I think my sophmore year in high school for a fiesta for my spanish class. All I have to say is I probably won't ever make one again. It took me about 40 hours to make the darn thing. Yes it was cute after it was all said and done and the kids had a great time hitting it and getting the 9 lbs of candy after wards.

The kids playing musical hearts

The pinata
Had to go with the whole Valentine theme so its kind of cheesy looking but the kids had fun with it.

After making it I don't think my back will ever be the same. It hurt so bad after adding the 6 rolls of crepe paper to it. I think it turned out cute and am glad I made it for Dawson to enjoy. He was so excited to show it off to his friends and teacher.

Dawson turns 6

Not sure where the time has gone. Can't believe it has been two months since I have last posted anything on my blog. It has been a crazy winter to say the least. Dawson turned 6 the middle part of February. I can't believe it has been 6 years since we brought him home from the hospital. We had a family birthday party one weekend and one night after school we had 13 5 & 6 year olds in our house. Crazy if you ask me!!!!! Dawson had a blast and I had the joy of making 2 scooby doo cakes. Dawson and all of his friends enjoyed it so much.

The cake was a huge hit and took forever to make. Oh well, its all worth it if it makes Dawson happy.

Easton turned the BIG 1

Easton turned 1 on December 2nd and had a great first birthday. Since his birthday fell on a Wednesday we just celebrated at home with mom, dad and Dawson and of course Easton. He had a good time watching Dawson opening his presents then playing with the wrapping paper. He got spoiled rotten by mom, dad and Dawson. On the following Sunday we had a family/friend birthday party and it was a fire truck theme. I made a fire truck cake

and it was a big hit. Easton did a great job eating his cake. He was very dainty when eating it and only got his hands and face messy. All in all it was a great party. I can not believe that it has been a year already.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY EASTON!!! We love you

Wordless Saturday

No words necessary to explain this picture.

Wow

It has been a crazy busy 6 months since I have posted anything to my blog. I hope that everyone had a great summer and is ready for the holiday season that has rapidly approached.

We have been very busy here at the Richter household. Dawson started kindergarten in September and absolutely loves it. He goes to school from 8-2:30 Mon-Fri and is doing great. He has a great teacher and has made some life long friends. It is just Easton and I at home during the day while Dawson is at school and Paul is at work. It has taken some adjusting to it just being the two of us.

Paul decided to join the Crooked River Ranch Fire Department to become a volunteer fire fighter. He loves it and is doing great with it. He has just finished the fire academy. I am thankful that he is done with it because it has required him to be at the fire station every Saturday for the last 3 months. The boys and I sure did miss him but are glad that he is going to be home now.

I have been busy running the boys here and there. I also have been busy selling Scentsy Candles and having parties occasionally. Cooking has become a favorite past time of mine and I have found lots of great recipes online that have turned out fantastic. We always get tired of having the same thing so it makes it nice and much more enjoyable to cook when it is something different or a family favorite.

I am going to post new pictures of the boys. Thanks for stopping by. Hope you all have a Blessed Thanksgiving!!!!

I am "SCENTsational"

Do you know what Scentsy is? If not I am about to tell you about it.
Scentsy are flameless candles that are kid and pet friendly and smell absolutely scentsational. The wax is warmed by a 25 watt lightbulb and gets as hot as parafin wax (what you dip your hands into). If you would like for information please visit my website here. I have been a consultant since April 1st and I am having a blast. The product sells itself and the rewards are endless. So if you are looking for extra income or want to stay at home, please contact me. I would LOVE for you to join my team!!!
