First Birthday and BYU Basketball






Abbey and Bennett turned 1! We celebrated with my side of the family a couple of days before their birthday. We had dinner and the cousins all enjoyed fishing for presents from our "big fish". Jon was really the big fish and he hid under the stairs so they couldn't see him. It was a big hit and many of the cousins kept calling "fishy" because they wanted more gifts!

Of course, Abbey and Bennett each had their own cake. They were tenative about it at first, but then dug in and made a huge mess. I don't think they really ate much. Might be the fact that I decided to make a citrus poppyseed cake for their birthday. I know, what was I thinking! I withheld the poppyseeds in their cakes, but come on...the first cake a child tastes should be delicious and chocolate. Not citrus and not poppyseed. (In my defense...my good friend Debi makes a delicious citrus poppyseed cake and I used her recipe. For some reason, mine didn't turn out nearly like hers).

En route to Zambia, we had a longer than expected layover which meant spending a night in Washington D.C. We spent the day with Dan, one of Jon's best friends, and had a great time!

This is a young girl with a very old soul named Carol Sierra Zulu. One night during a team meeting, she painted my toenails and then proceded to paint Jon's a bright pink.
