Thanks Kimberly!

My Baby's Birthday!

Here are picture's from Ava's first birthday!


This is the Cupcake hat I made for her!

Here she is eating her Cone cake! She was afraid of it at first but warmed up to it after I helped her with the frosting!

These are the goodies I made to eat! We had Chicken Salad sandwiches, crackers, carrots, olives, apples and dip.

These are the cone cakes I made! Some of them fell in the middle. They tasted really good though. I made them with Strawberry Cake Mix and then Strawberry Frosting.

We had lots of fun and then we went out to On The Border Mexican Grill and had a yummy dinner!

Random Pictures

This is the most delicious banana bread I have had in a long time. It is made with Cream Cheese. It's supposed to have eggs in it but just as I got to that part in the recipe I realized that I had hard boiled all my eggs! I called my mom because the only substitute I knew of was flax seed which I didn't have. She suggested I use Milk and lemon juice. So I used 1/2 cup of milk and 1 T. lemon Juice and it turned out really good! Go here for the recipe.

This is a picture of the lock Phil used to keep all the tools and stuff on his job from being taken. It worked the first time someone tried to steal stuff but not the second. Everything was stolen including one of his own tools!

Ava really likes my yarn. If I am not careful she will get it. She likes to wrap it around herself until she can't move.

Ava was really tired. She hadn't taken a nap. I love this picture, she looks so sweet!

He passed!

Phil passed his Journeyman Test! He is now a licensed Journeyman in the state of Colorado! Of course he will have to take it again when we go back to Missouri, but atleast he did it!

Seven Falls

We tried to go to Pike's Peak but when we got there we were only able to go 15 of the 19 mile trip. So we decided to go see Seven Fall's. For those of you who did not see my post from last May when Phil went by himself you can check it out in my archives. Pictures do not do it justice though. You all are going to have to come visit me before we move back to Missouri.

All the ice was very pretty. It was about 50 degrees when we were there, so it was a nice day.

There were a tin of fish. You can kind of see from the pic that the ice was pretty thick. The fish were swimming in circles and we read that they do that because it takes less energy and they get more oxygen in the winter time.

Morgan wanted to climb over the railings and play on the ice. He couldn't understand why we wouldn't let him!

The waterfalls were all frozen. They were so pretty, you could see the water running underneath the ice.

We finally made it to the top! I have been up 224 steps before but not when the angle was the steep! The boys were fine but Phil and I were definately out of breath!

Ava's Sweater

I found a really neat crochet program that I can input measurements and it will give me a pattern for any size and shape sweater I want! So I decided to test it and make Ava a cute little one button Cardigan. Here it is

I can't believe how big she has gotten! She will be 1 in a week and a half! Still no hair though!
