Cohen's Half Birthday

For Cohen's 1/2 birthday I made him this little frog cake. We went over to Nana's to play for a little bit and celebrate.

For Cohen's 1/2 birthday we got him his first baseball hit and a tee. He loved it. He was really good at letting us help him at first but by the end as usual he wanted to do it his way and by himself.

Happy half-birthday little man. 

Presidents Day Weekend

On the 18th of February TJ had an Orientation for Dental School so we decided to go out. Thursday night we stayed with my cousins Heather and Bruce. The next morning we went and looked through six different townhouses in Riverside to try and decide which one to buy for the coming fall. We found one! More pictures of that to come. We then quickly ran Cohen back to Heather's house. She was nice enough to watch him while we attended the 5 hour orientation. It was good just a little long.  After the orientation we decided to make a trip out of the long weekend and drive the extra 2 1/2 hours up to Omaha and spend some time with some of our favorite people.

Kelan all Super-hero-ed out!

Look at those moves!

Cohen was happy as long as we could keep his snack tray full.

Ansley's 24th Birthday

A few weeks before my birthday Pops and Gem gave me an early birthday present. Cake decorating classes. Gem could clearly see a need when I attempted to help her make T.J.'s congratulatory cake when he got into dental school. I had class the day before my birthday so I made myself a birthday cake in class.

 For lunch on my birthday my good friends Lindsay and Emily took me to Lunch at Bread Co. It was a beautiful day and 70 degrees outside (keep in mind Feb 16th) so we decided to eat outside. It was a perfect lunch and I have the best friends!

For dinner we went with Pops and Gem to Friday's.  It was delicious and made for the perfect ending to a perfect Birthday! 

I should have taken pictures of all my presents because I got very spoiled! My parents and Merilee sent me lots of clothes & money which I later spent on my clarisonic face brush which I love! Mirae and TJ got me a silhouette which has been so fun to have. I'm finding more and more uses for it everyday. My friend Emily brought me these beautiful flowers which stayed on our table all week, and Lindsay got me an Idaho necklace which I love wearing to keep home a little closer to the heart. I also received cake decorating supplies from the Fuller's, a gift card to Nordstroms from the Karlinsey's and a necklace from Spencer and Nikki! Thanks everyone for making my birthday so special!
