BobbleHead 3d Printed Robot

Jaedan completed his first Blender software project a 3d printed bobble-head. It took him two months to complete the online class.  The class was a bit challenging at times but he did not give up. He missed a few major steps but was able to go back and make corrections which took extra time. In the end he is very pleased with the outcome and looks forward to future projects using the knowledge he gained from the class.

Jaedan's Pokemon Birthday Bash 2015

This year we decided to give our youngest a small birthday party. We wanted it to be special but not expensive yet kid friendly. It started out being a surprise party but due to me making all of the decorations I had to spill the beans. Recently all we have heard him talk about was Pokemon so I decided that would be the theme. So off I went to Pinterest  in search of ideas and this is what I can up with. My Cricut Explore really made recreating  the decorations easy. The party was a success.
