Results of Robbies Science Project

Thanks to all that helped Robbie with his project. Here are some photos of his poster and the teeth at the end.
The Monster drink ate some of the enamel off the tooth.
Diet Dr. Pepper tooth shrunk the most in size and weight...and was so black.
Dr. Pepper was next.
Apple juice weighed more, we are not sure what that means. Maybe the sugar was absorbed into the tooth?
Orange juice did nothing.
Controlled tooth stayed the same.
This was fun to do, but I am so glad to have the teeth off our counter. Now we just need to talk Robbie into letting go of the poster!

Yummy and easy treat

Mint Oreo Balls

1 package mint Oreo's

1 8oz. package cream cheese

Use a pastry blender or a food processor to mix these together. Form into bit size balls and put in the fridge until firm. Dip in white, dark or milk chocolate and top with sprinkles. Let set and then refrigerate.

My friend made these for my birthday and they were so yummy. I thought that you would all enjoy a fun and easy treat. This is one that kids can make and it is not to messy or time consuming. Happy making!

Robbie turns 9 years old!

Robbie wanted the Star Wars Clone helmet and gun for his b.day. He loves this and plays war with his friends and brothers. Eric and I just have to laugh!

Robbie wanted crepes for breakfast on his birthday!

Waiting for his breakfast to be ready!

We cannot believe that Robert Wayne Larsen is now 9 years old. Where does the time go? For his birthday he and a friend went sledding with Eric for an afternoon. We had a family party with all the family in town to celebrate all the Feb. birthdays. Robbie had a Sunday birthday and he liked that. He picked crepes with fresh strawberries for breakfast and chicken rolls for dinner. He wanted carrot cake so I made one from scratch this year! He loved it.

The top ten things we love about Robbie are:

10. he loves to read

9. he is a great student

8. he has a testimony of the Savior

7. he loves to play with his brothers

6. he is very athletic

5. he makes friends easily

4. he likes to be with the family

3. he loves to learn

2. he is a great example to others

1. he is the best oldest brother anyone could ask for

We love you Robbie.

Abraham

Abraham will be 6 months next week and feels the need to grow up. He rolled over for the first time on Saturday or Sunday and by Wed. he was rolling all over the place. This makes me sad, I don't like them to grow up and want to be busy all the time. Then today I felt in his mouth and he has a tooth. I am not sure when it came in, probably a few days ago at least. He was not fussy so that was great. He may be a teether like Robbie was and I welcome that! We love Abraham and he is a sweet lovable little boy.

Mom Song...

I know most have heard this, but it is funny. Robbie wanted to see it and he said, "Mom, you have said most of those things to me and Kam today." I had to laugh.

Help Robbie with his science project

Robbie has to do a science project for school. He wanted to do something different from the norm...so I looked on the Internet and found one with teeth. His Uncle Ian also gave the same idea so he was hooked on the idea of putting teeth in different drinks to see how they react or decay. The dentist gave us 6 teeth that Robbie measured and tried to poke with a pin. He record all his findings and then we put each tooth in 1 oz. of different drinks. He is taking a poll to see what people think will be the worst drink for your teeth, so your opinion will help his experiment.
The choices are: Lo carb Monster drink, Diet Dr. Pepper, Dr. Pepper, Apple Juice, Orange Juice, and his controlled tooth is in a mouth wash and water solution. I think the Monster drink is the worst. Robbie, Kamren and Eric all said the Dr. Pepper. Here are some pictures of the teeth after Robbie brushed them and measured them.
I love science! ha ha ha A big thanks to Dr. Allen for the teeth and a big thanks to Uncle Ian for helping with the idea and for Uncle Creed for telling us how to do it.

Mommy...Mother....Mom

My mom sent this to me and I loved it. So I hope you enjoy it also.

MOTHERS

Real Mothers don't eat quiche;
they don't have time to make it.

Real Mothers know that their kitchen utensils
are probably in the sandbox.

Real Mothers often have sticky floors,
filthy ovens and happy kids.

Real Mothers know that dried play dough
doesn't come out of carpets.

Real Mothers don't want to know what
the vacuum just sucked up.

Real Mothers sometimes ask 'Why me?'
and get their answer when a little
voice says, 'Because I love you best..'

Real Mothers know that a child's growth
is not measured by height or years or grade...
It is marked by the progression of Mommy to Mom to Mother...

The Images of Mother

4 YEARS OF AGE - My Mommy can do anything!

8 YEARS OF AGE - My Mom knows a lot! A whole lot!

12 YEARS OF AGE - My Mother doesn't really know quite everything.

14 YEARS OF AGE - Naturally, Mother doesn't know that, either.

16 YEARS OF AGE - Mother? She's hopelessly old-fashioned.

18 YEARS OF AGE - That old woman? She's way out of date!

25 YEARS OF AGE - Well, she might know a little bit about it!

35 YEARS OF AGE - Before we decide, let's get Mom's opinion.

45 YEARS OF AGE - Wonder what Mom would have thought about it?

65 YEARS OF AGE - Wish I could talk it over with Mom

The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears,
the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair.

The beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes,
because that is the doorway to her heart,
the place where love resides.
The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mole,
but true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul.
It is the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows,

and the beauty of a woman with passing years only grows!
