Ami's Birthday and Party

Ami turned 5 this year! She loves to play outside on her bike, sketch in notebooks, read and she LOVES animals of all kinds. This year she wanted a "kitty" birthday. So, we had a Hello Kitty birthday cake. She had a super fun day, but kept asking where her Virginia friends were!

Ami's 5th birthday called for a party! We decided to have a kitty themed party. We had a kitty pinata, a "pin the bow" on the kitty, a treasure hunt that ended with mouse treats filled with kitty snacks, and kitty cupcakes. She and the friends at the party had an amazing time.

Ami's First Daddy Daughter Date!

Ami went on her first Daddy Daughter Date. They went to a ballet recital and loved it. Go Dad!

Robbie's Birthday!

Robbie turned 2! He is growing so fast and is talking up a storm. He loves super heroes, big trucks, and is 100% boy. His favorite movie is Despicable Me. We decided a minion cake was appropriate. We love him and his sweet hugs and kisses.

Easter

Easter is one of my favorite holidays (maybe because of the Cadbury eggs, but that is a different story all together!). The kids had a scream being at Grandma's and the weather even cooperated. The Easter bunny was very kind and we had a great time hunting for eggs and spending time with family.

Robbie's First Train Set

My uncle Eric recently gave Robbie his first train set. He was SO excited, and has become a huge train fiend. I was hoping to avoid this interest but here we go!

The fantastic and wonderful Bern

This last weekend we went to Bern, Idaho to visit Nick's parents. It turned out to be a fun and busy weekend. On Saturday, Nick's Mom picked up her Bountiful basket order and inside was a young coconut. We split it in half and put a smoothie inside. Robbie, obviously, thought it was amazing. Even after he spilt it all over his body (thus the child nakedness).
















We also went to Rissa's inlaws Dairy/Sheep farm. Ami was entranced with the baby sheep. Robbie, not so much. Lazer boy (as my Dad affectionately calls him) had eyes only for the tractors. He and his cow boy boots were all over that thing.


"Um, hi. Where's the tractor?)

Bern has a plethora of SNOW. I wanted to cry, but Ami had a scream with her Aunt Rissa.

The snow man kit was very handy.

Ami could have spent all day with the lambs. She was even able to hold some that were born the night before.

Needless to say, we came back exhausted but fulfilled. Thanks Dave and Toni!

Retirement Party Cake

A lady at my Mom's work was retiring, so I was asked to make a cake. We did a "Surviving Retirement" theme. It was super fun and I learned tons!
