Making a cake with Dad

Garden Girl

We have started a garden this fall. Amelia loves to come out and see what is growing and she promised to try each vegetable that we grow. She even went with me to pick up the "cow poo poo" used in the soil. Here she is checking on the lima beans.

"Knight" Charley was one of the few boys at this princess party - but had one of the best costumes.

Sleeping Beauty

Hamming it up for the camera. I told her there was a spinning wheel in the other room and she really freaked out.

Princess Birthday Party

Having a great time at her friend Allie's party. It was at the Overholser Mansion with a real sleeping beauty princess. Now every time we drive by she looks for sleeping beauty. More pics will follow from this fun day.

Hiking in the forest

Near our cabin on the beach was a national forest. Most afternoons we would go for short hikes. On this hike we were searching for the giant spruce at the end of a trail.
