Gus, 7 months and counting

We are all preparing for the time that Gus starts crawling. We know he is going to be the climber and the one to get into everything around the house. Right now he is content to roll from one side of the room to the other as fast as you can turn around. He hardly stops when he hits the hard floor. You can just see in his face that he doesn't like it as much as on the carpet. Here are a few recent pictures of Gus.

Lilly's Birthday 2011

Lilly turned 5 this year and was excited to celebrate her birthday. She got to pick out the cake and she picked out a Happy Face cake. This caused Dad some pain because he hadn't made an eggless yellow cake before, they have always been chocolate. But Dad found a good recipe and here is the results:

The Cake

Isn't it Yummy

She loved it and it worked out well. It was a good cake. She got some legos and a dress up princess dress, and both girls got easels for coloring and drawing.

They love to draw

Lilly decided that she wanted to go to the Star Wars exhibit at the Pacific Science Center. We decided to go on the Wednesday after her birthday. We are glad we went on a weekday because even then, it was still busy. She loved it and wants to go back and see some more. It was a fun trip.

Christmas

We went down to Utah for Christmas 2010. I was working at Deer Valley again so it worked out well to be there for the Family.
