| Helen showed us her versatile musical skills by playing "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" on Gibson's ukulele, violin style. |

Gibson makes lots of visits with Becky while the other kids are at school. He is getting used to being pretty spoiled with snacks and treats from the ladies we visit. This week he was even given a little stuffed dog. Hopefully he grows up to find ministering visits as delightful as he does now. |

Brandan makes fruit smoothies for our family almost every Saturday morning. This week he threw the leftovers of a spinach/grapefruit salad into the blender along with berries and juice. It was delicious. We couldn't taste or see the spinach. Well, Helen says that she could see and taste the spinach and she still thought it was delicious. |

Jewelry making is one of Sophie's favorite hobbies. She gives some away as gifts, but mostly she makes things for herself. She has jewelry spilling out of many boxes, baskets and drawers in her bedroom and the bathroom. Brandan helped her put some hooks on a board in her closet to help organize her many, many bracelets, necklaces and earrings. The photo shows the board and some of her jewelry as she started to tidy up. |

This week Sophie made beautiful matching necklaces for Becky, Helen and herself with peridot pendants and sterling silver fittings. We all wore our necklaces to church today. |

I just discovered your blog on Stacee's so I'm leaving all my comments on once place. Good job on all the cookies! (you can always call us if you need that kind of help again). Nice jewelry, Sophie!
And I know why you put 9 candles on his cake now, but I didn't get any further than solving his age in that puzzle.
That is A LOT of jewelry. Very impressive.
Maybe I should try spinach in our smoothies too. Our boys have completely bought into the spinach bolstering Popeye's (and their own) muscles thing.
So does Helen play the ukulele with a bow?
Love the jewelry board. What material did they use to hold earrings? By the way Becky I like your haircut.
The earring holder is a piece of plastic canvas, attached to the board with screws so that it bows out from the board.
Sasha and Helen would get along fabulously, seeing as how Sasha loves jewelry probably as much as Helen does. Loved the organization idea - I'm hoping to get one done soon too. That smoothie looked delicious. By the way, random question, but what type of blender do you use to liquefy (sp?) the spinach? Kudos to Soph on the beautiful jewelry!
I don't think our blender is anything special, but we had baby spinach in the fridge which I think was easier for the blender to puree than regular spinach would be.
