Happy Birthday!

Can you believe it has already been a year? It has just flown by for us! We are so excited to celebrate our little girl's first birthday! We feel so grateful to have her in our lives and just love watching her grow and develop.

Since we live so far away from family, we decided to have a small party with just the three of us.


Thank you for the gifts Grandma Little and Papi, Grandma and Grandpa Hill and Tanya.
I love them!


Auburn's first word after Dad and Mom was duck. She loves ducks. I attempted to make a cake that looked like a duck. I realized that I am not a cake decorator, but at least Auburn recognized what it was without promting.

You mean I can really make a mess?


This is kind of fun!


The final mess.
She didn't really like the cake. She has never had sugar before and so it was a little much for her. At least she had fun!


Happy Birthday Auby!

How cute! I'm so impressed with the cake. You did a great job. I'm also so impressed that she's never had sugar before. I try to feed Kayley really healthily, but she's definitely had some tastes of sugar before. Can you believe our baby girls are 1?? :)

Mexico - Mayan ruins II

Simon's parents had to get back to their mission in Mexico City and we continued on our trip.  We saw a lot of ruins, 9 in total.  This is the next post of Mayan ruins.  It was actually great for the kids as well.  They could run around, climb and explore. It was interesting to see the differences at each sight.  The kids had their favorites by the end of the trip.  We also taught them a little bit about Mayan culture. Edzna   These well preserved carvings were great.       Palanque These were probably my favorite ruins.  It is set in the jungle and it felt very peaceful there. It is hard to believe that only 10 percent of the structures are actually uncovered.  The rest are still covered by the jungle. some well preserved carvings waterfalls in the middle of the ruins The Palace   Temple of Inscription   The kids had a great time climbing up and exploring...
