Diane turns 50

Thie year I hit the big 50. So Phill threw a suprise birthday party for me. I had to go out on Sunday to visit a family who had just had a baby and while I was gone, the Lees and Grandpa Waken snuck over and helped my girls and Phill decorate the house. When I got home everyone yelled Happy Birthday. I was really suprised. Here are a few pictures of the party.

Logan Lees 1st Birthday Party

Logan turns 1

Logan Lee had is 1st Birthday party on Saturday March 14th. Logan is Uncle Paul and Auntie Jodie's grandson. So we were all invited down to Mike and Bries home for his birthday party. They had a nice dinner with Cake and then opened presents. Here are a few pictures of the evening.

He soon had it all over his face. This is my favorite part of the first birthday. Letting them dig into their piece of cake.

Avery joined in the fun with a birthday hat, with Grandma and Megan.

New Fire Pit

We recently added a new play toy at our house. We bought a fire pit so we could sit outside around the fire. Connie really enjoys it. Most evenings she starts a fire and can be found reading there. Here she is with her friend freezing but enjoying the fire. We did have a fire one evening and roasted hot dogs, it is really fun.

Avery Anne Waken in her Sunday Best

Phillip, Jenny and Avery came to dinner on Sunday. They come every other Sunday for Dinner. So we took the opportunity to take more pictures of Avery. She is growing up so fast. She now weighs about 8 pounds and is 20 inches long. She is getting to look more and more like her mom every day. I am wondering if her hair will turn blond . Both Phillip and Jenny were born with dark hair which lightened up. Phillip went back dark and Jenny stayed light. Which will Avery do. We will all have to wait and see.

Here is a picture of her awake, she has beautiful eyes.

Sadie trying to cuddle with her. The dogs just don't quite know what she is yet.

She just wants to sleep and stretch.

Phillip and Jenny have decided to have her Blessing on Easter Sunday. Their church is at 1:30. Anyone who wants to come is welcome, hope to see you there.
