Baking with My Baby Boy



It's no secret that the girls and I love to be in the kitchen cooking and baking. I took an opportunity to bake with Carson while the girls were at a friend's house. We made cut out cookies and had a blast. I don't get much one on one time with my children- it really is fun to have one all to myself!

Tricks or Treats?





Need I say more? A pioneer girl, a princess and batman......

Uncle Danny's BIG Fishy


Now I know this is a blog about The Hopkins', but we are so proud of Uncle Danny's big fish. The details   "This musky was my first (Length = 46" Weight 30lbs) and was caught using a Little Joe with Crappie Minnow on the Wisconsin River, WI while Walleye fishing with 8lb test line on 10/11/2009."
 Way to go Uncle Danny! We aren't gonna eat that are we????

Joey's Preschool Songs

Joey's new songs she has learned in Preschool.

Annual Wine Tasting

Every once in awhile Mommy gets out of the house.... alone! Pictured here are the 3 teachers I teach first grade with. Couldn't ask for better coworkers and friends. We had a great time at Tobies Wine Tasting Event. Drinking lots of wine and joking how funny it would be for all of us to call in sick the next day. Don't worry Mom and Auntie Cookie- I ordered some great rose and Asti for us at Christmas so we don't have to drink dad's dry wines! We missed you Laura! SALUTE!

Hinckley Homecoming






Sophia and her good bud Matthew were chosen as Jr Homecoming attendants. They were excited but not quite sure what it all meant! It was fun to see them on the stage and I thought about what I will be thinking if she is up there again in 11 years. Typical Sophia she was giving Matthew directions the whole time! Good thing they are good friends!
