June 2012

 On May 27th we threw Ahrian an early birthday party.  We couldn't believe that our little man was already turning 1!

 I've decided that even though I can bake really well I just may need to leave the decorating up to the professionals.  I made him cake balls, which didn't turn out exactly as planned.

 Luckily he didn't care...

 And ate to his heart's content.

 We had just moved into the house just the week before and our playset was still on the trailer.  The kids could have cared less (I think they actually liked it better on the trailer).

 On June 1st for Ahrian's birthday we made a family trip to Dairy Queen.  Ayla was very nice to share her blizzard with the birthday boy.  The reason we chose to move to Northglenn (North Denver) was for Milton's job.  He had been moved to the Thornton/Brighton area that previous February.  It was perfect because he could come home for lunch and we saw him many times throughout the day.  Unfortunately, that came to an end the middle of June when the transfered him back to Centennial, which is now even further away than it was before we moved.  I could continue to complain, but at least he was transfered to a department that has provided us with a steady income.

 Later that night we gave him his birthday present. I don't think he'll be using it until next year, especially since he had just started crawling a couple of weeks before.

 Ayla continues to make us laugh.  Here she was ready to help her Papa in the garage.  She needed her work gloves on.

Another of her funny antics.  She had gotten dressed and was ready to hit the town. Her outfit consists of a Rockies tee, pj bottoms, her Papa's socks and my heels.  Of course, her accessory is a cute pink purse.  Oh, this girl is awesome!
