Kelsey's Birthday!

I don't know if any one else has been having trouble, but for about a week I haven't been able to log on so as to update our blog!!! Well finally after trying a couple times today it worked. I'm so happy because now I can tell you all about Kelsey's first birthday!

We had a lot of fun at Kelsey's birthday. The theme was Ice Cream, you can't go wrong with that...

The house was full(with the size of our house it doesn't take many people to do that!)

She had no idea what was going on when we all sang to her and tried to get her to blow out the candle.

Yummy...treats...

This was the cake for everyone else. I baked cake batter in the ice cream cones, like cupcakes.

and of course Jared didn't take my gentle warning that it wasn't a good idea to serve them like that...

I'll bet you can guess what happened(some were on the floor too!)

Kelsey was funny to watch she never dug into the cake.she just picked off the chocolate chips one by one.

This was the most damage she did to it! She's such a lady she didn't even get any on her shirt.

Well, we had fun and hope everyone else did too. Thanks for coming to the party!

 

 

 

 

 

Happy Birthday Kelsey!

Raspberry Picking '11

This year we went Raspberry picking again. This time we had 3 other families with us and we got lots more berries!!! The Rollin's, Bullard's, and Clark's came with us, super lucky that the Clark's brought their camera because no one would have had pictures.

Both girls seem to be enjoying treats.

This tractor was just sitting in the middle of the row we were picking at. We couldn't keep them away from it.

this was supposed to be a "family" picture, unfortunately I didn't realize Kelsey couldn't be seen (she's in the back of the double stroller)

Picking raspberries is a lot of work! We did finally get 6 pints in all, which was great because then we were able to make all this jam...

Our camera is broken so this is a picture from my phone... still I think you get the picture.

Dance Class

Bailey started a dance class yesterday. It's put on by one of the other young mother's in our ward. I wasn't able to drop her off yesterday so she went with one of our friends who snapped this cute picture of the girls before class started.

She's the only one wearing a swimming suit, but that doesn't seem to bother her Ralae said she did well and had a lot of fun.

Bailey's Birthday

We had lot's of our good friends over to celebrate! And as you can tell they also helped blow out the candles.

I had so much fun making this cake. I got the recipe from the Wisk Kid blog. It tastes delicious, but unfortunately doesn't look nearly as crisp as hers...

The much anticipated 2nd Birthday! Poor Bailey wasn't feeling well and it shows. But even with all the crazy obstacles we had it turned out to be a blast! Happy Birthday Bailey, we love you!

Fun Pics

These are just some fun pictures we've taken... no real story or reason, they're just fun...

Canning

I tried my hand at canning the other day... sadly this is all I got and don't let if fool you these are only pint sized jars! But I'm really excited to try it again, don't know what I'll can, but I'll do it!

Chagrin Falls

Last week we went with the Bullard's and the Clark's to Chagrin Falls. It was such a cool place! I really felt like we were in a new world. There are all sort's of fun shops, and little restaurants, and a really cool ice cream shop! Next time we have visitors this is definitely one place we should stop, it's only 30 min away!!!
