I'll Take Ranch on my Pancakes Please!

Makayla is over baby cereal in the mornings. She LOVES bread, so I thought she'd like pancakes for her birthday breakfast. To my surprise, Syrup was out of the question. Jam? No way. I knew she liked ranch from eating tomatoes, so I thought I'd give it a try. Sure enough, it hit the spot. Really!? After the breakfast of champions, we went swimming and then had a little party with family.


We had a Grab Bag of Makayla's favorite things for our guests. I was cracking myself up putting it together. It included: crackers, crayons, suckers (she likes to eat the paper off of them-take the paper off and she is no longer interested), chocolate pudding, pens (how many can I carry around at once?), a can of Peaches, teddy bear stickers, a Kitchen Towel (she cuddles with them...), apple juice, and a travel pack of tissues. It turned out really fun. Below is a picture of her Uncle Daniel feeding her his pudding. He is the reason she loves it the first place.


Cake Time!! I had some serious issues decorating her cake. My mom ended up pulling pink frosting out of my hair at the swimming pool. I think it turned out cute though.


She didn't really eat much of it, but she had fun squishing it up!

End of the Year Favorite Photos

The last few months of 2010 sped by so fast, with no indication that it will slow down in 2011. Here are a few of our favorite pictures from the end of the year.

I was able to squeeze in some family photos before it got too cold


Makayla at my Sister's wedding. The big red spot on her head is from discovering that a table cloth won't support her weight.


Christmas morning Trevor got a Nerf gun... he was pretty much giddy.

Ahhh, cute little family.
