Jed's Birthday

Jed turned 29 this year.
For his birthday I made him a candied pecan, Sherlock Holmes birthday cake.

The night before Abbie turns 1

April 25th 2010. At the Younger Patrick's home.
Katelynn fell asleep in the car, making the transition from car to bed in her mothers arms without waking. She is almost 3.

Abigail on the other hand, is just getting started with playing. This photo was taken at about 9:45 pm. Does she look tired to any of you? Among posing in the warm comfort of Mom's sweeter Abbie began moving forward her little bouncy chair. I suppose she got tired of not seeing where she was going while traveling backwards.

Tomorrow she turns 1 and to be honest it is freaking me out. I know what everyone reading this is thinking "what a woos....." Your right I am, but if you came to date a teenage daughter of mine would you be intimidated by me?

Not one of Dad's better ideas

I am not sure how many of you out there in digi land are like me and hate seeing cute little kids cry. Well I absolutely hate it, which Abbie has probably figured out.

There I was eating a thin mint, my version of crack, and Abbie starts to cry. Its obvious after a few moments that she is crying because she wants my cookie. Silly me actually goes into the pantry and gets one just for her. Suffice it to say, Abbie fingers melt chocolate quickly.

Egg Mania

Our ward primary set up an Easter egg hunt for all the young children of our ward.
Of course they were smart enough to separate the children by ages. The younger ones got to go into the gym and hunt for eggs.

As the process began Katie ran, with Grandma in tow, to get the eggs she wanted.

Abbie on the other hand, after finding out candy was in the eggs, settled on just 1 Easter egg

Lucky for us, Grandma talked Katie into helping Abbie get the rest of her eggs.
