Farmers Market




Our first "trip" while Ben, Terrah and Lael were here was to go to Redlands and adventure around downtown and then hit the Farmers' Market later that night. It was a nice day. Sunny, warm with a cooler night. The girls loved the smoothies we got from Augie's Coffee Shop and had such an adventure that they conked out on the drive home (which we definitely were not complaining).



Ada's First Birthday Party


So another fun thing that we did while they were here was to celebrate Ada's first birthday. Her real birthday is on the 14th, Valentine's Day, but we decided it would be better to wait to throw her party until she could have some family around.

Terrah helped me to frost and sprinkle the cupcakes.

I'm glad she didn't throw them on the floor.



We invited some friends over to party the night away with us and eat some delicious taco-in-a-bag and funfetti cupcakes. Josh and Sarah's clan showed up, along with Britney and Brian, Steve and Becky, Alan and Linda, and Ben and Kay...Ben, Terrah and Lael were a given. We had a lot of fun, it was nice to celebrate and spend the night with people who care about her.







Ada even got her own cake to dig into...although she wasn't quite so sure what to do with it. I mean, that is a lot of cake.


But she got the hang of it and got into the spirit of things.












It was a good night.
We had a lot of fun.
Ada made a haul on gifts.
Which by the way, I love those Melissa and Doug toys. They're awesome!

Another Family Visit! YAY!!

Ben, Terrah and Lael came to visit us!! We were so excited...these are a couple of pictures from the first day they were here. We got Lael a purple tutu for Christmas (yes, I know that she did just get it now and it is February...don't judge me!). She looks adorable in it.

Moses thought so too.
