Interesting Weekend

This last Friday morning, Danny got up 5:30 am, like normal, to go play basketball with his coworkers.  At 7, he called to tell me he'd twisted his ankle.  He said it wasn't bad, just a little swollen and he'd be coming home from work at the normal time.  So imagine my surprise when he limps into the house and asks to ice his VERY swollen ankle.  We propped it up and and iced it off and on all night.  I'm not sure Danny would have even bothered icing it, except that he had a golf tournament on Saturday.  Yes, I know what you are thinking, and I was thinking the same thing.  Golfing 18 holes on a swollen, twisted ankle?  Who would do that?  I wasn't going to argue especially since I figured he wouldn't last long.  Saturday morning, Danny ace-wrapped his ankle tightly and was off.  I picked him up from the course at about 2 and he unwrapped his ankle on the way home and this was what it looked like:

Danny would like me to mention that he did get 2nd place with his team at the golf tournament, so appparently any damage done to the ankle was totally worth it. He'd also like me to point out that if he plays that well with a bum ankle, imagine how he plays with 2 good ankles...

Thursday or 12 months and 1 day

I'm still not sure how I feel about her walking. :) I guess I don't really have any choice now, eh? I just can't believe that she's gotten so big! 

p.s. The sound in the background is Wyatt crying because I wouldn't let him sit right in front of the camera.

Wednesday or Eva Turns 1!

Danny took the day off on Wednesday and we took the kids to the zoo for Eva's birthday.  It was a little chilly which turned out great because the zoo wasn't busy at all.  The kids loved it!  Wyatt is still totally scared of the wooden elephant that makes noise, but Eva didn't seem to mind it at all.  We took the kids to the bird show as well. Eva had a hard time sitting still but the show was great. The birds fly so close to your heads and Wyatt was really amazed. 

Tuesday

Earlier this week Wyatt and I took a trip up to Herriman and met with a couple of my girlfriends from high school. It's so strange now that we're all grown up, with kids of our own but we can still talk to each other like we could 7 years ago.  Love it!  Aren't we hot?

The Cake

We celebrated Eva's 1st birthday today.  I decided that I was going to make her a giant cupcake for her birthday, but that didn't quite work out so I used the cupcake pan to make her a castle instead.  I spent the better part of yesterday baking, cooling, and cutting cakes. 5 in all.  Surprisingly it was very exhausting!  I got them all frozen and then this morning my mom came over to frost the cake.  I helped with the first layer of frosting but Mom did all the detailed work  and I think it turned out perfect!  It was fun to do it this year, but I think I'll do something a little more simple next year. Thanks for the help, Mom!

Eating the Cake

I was worried that after all the work we put into the cake, Eva wouldn't even be interested.  But I worried for nothing! Her first lick was a little timid, but after that she dug right in.  I think she would have eaten the whole cake if we had let her!
