This is for Heather and Mom. Here is the cake I did for my co-worker.

So I know this is a lot of updating at once, but I was previously having some technical difficulties. Or operator error or something. Anyways, I hope you all enjoy the new pics. I know there are a lot of them, but that is my favorite part about these blogs. Since we all live so far away it is still nice to see how quickly the kids are growing. Hope all is well with everyone!!

So since I had already done a bigger party and cake in Cokeville and it was only going to be Tarran and I there on her actual birthday we did a smaller celebration. We went and got frozen pizza, a birthday balloon, and a giant cupcake. She still had fun even though the frosting on the cupcake turned out to be disgusting. She even took one bite and then just played in it. Oh well, it's the thought that counts right? She was a pretty darn cute Birthday Princess if you ask me. : )

She was much happier about being a pretty princess this time. She even let me put on the earrings.
Abby loves balloons so of course she got one for her birthday.

Admiring her giant birthday cupcake.
You think she is getting ready to blow out the candle, but then at the last moment she tries to grab it instead. Silly Girl!

Everett being cute, but that is kind of a trouble making face. lol

While in Cokeville I decided to take advantage of having Aunt Heather, the cake decorator, there to help make Abby a birthday cake. Plus I thought it would be fun to do a little party with what family was there. So even though Abigail was extremely cranky and whiny it still turned out nice. I was very impressed with the cake and had fun helping Heather make it. Well, that is until Abby woke up all cranky and I had to go tend to her. So thanks Heather you did an awesome job on the cake!!

Yes, if she looks a little cranky in these pictures, it's because she was.

The awesome birthday cake that Aunt Heather helped me to make. THANKS HEATH!!!
I don't have the greatest pics cuz I was trying to make it so she wouldn't cry. But I told the boys that it was like Godzilla in princess town. She immediately tore the castles apart.
Opening presents. Thanks everyone for the cool stuff!!

She loves her new toys, although this one did tend to frustrate her a little when things didn't go where she wanted them to.

Abby and I went to Cokeville for New Years. We picked up all of the Dwinell boys to come with us. Steve, Heather, Everett, and the little bun in the oven came as well. We had a great time just hanging out relaxing. Abby loved playing out in the snow! I couldn't even bribe her to go in with candy or treat or anything for that matter. I had to drag her in kicking and yelling "no, no, no". Then she would continue to cry at the door that she wanted to go back outside. Once while Grandpa was out with her pushing her on the swing she kept nodding off. She soon realized what was happening and had to get down and go try out the slide. The boys got new tubes for Christmas so we decided to take them tubing/sledding. Test Hill wasn't in ideal conditions, a little icy, but they really wanted to go. So their first run, Uncle Steve takes them all to the very top. They all three get into a long green plastic sled. Halfway down the hill there is a jump, which they were trying to avoid. Well, it was unavoidable, they hit the edge of it and launched them. It was actually rather cool to watch, they caught some serious air! Then midflight they started to turn and all got dumped out and landed on top of each other. Paeton came away with a big scratch on his red swollen cheek, but other than that no serious injuries. Needless to say they no longer wanted to go from the top. They wouldn't get back on that sled either until the next day after we had broken the jump down. Abigail loved sledding! I let her try a tube out from not very far up and she giggled all the way down. Then I went on the sled with her from higher up. When I put her to the side at the bottom so I could get out she would instantly climb back in and say, "I ready". Grandma also helped Abby build a little snowman, which she then carried around until he fell apart. I think it is pretty close for who likes snowmen more, Abby or Grandma. So anyways, it was a very nice trip. I always love going home to visit! Thanks for everything Mom and Dad!!
