Above is quite obviously Amelia after the log ride and then Chris tells me that Amelia wanted to try on these funny hats as well. The last pic is of Amelia all tuckered out on the light rail ride home.

Elitch Gardens on Labor Day.

Amelia made an amazing recovery from the previous problem only to lose her very first tooth. She was consoled by 50 cents from the tooth fairy, which she knows is pretend because she asks too many questions and I can't tell a bold-faced lie about it.

The top is my birthday cake that Chris made all by himself (he's very proud). It is called "Almost better than sex" cake, however I think there are several with that name. This one was a german chocolate cake base with a caramel sauce and then whip cream and then heath bar crumbles on top. It tasted very good and I am not a fan of cake, but I liked this one.

The next pic is Lauren's rite of passage self application of lipstick. The last is Amelia's sudden teeth problem. Thankfully we were able to get it fixed :)

The top pic is Chris' sister Katie with Amelia's cousins Tristin, and Timmy. The middle one is Amy and Amelia.

That same night Grandpa did a bonfire. Or rather maybe Uncle Tommy did a fair share of the stoking so it was quite a flame. The middle picture is Chris' sister Amy and her husband Nick and Amelia's cousin Ethan.

Lauren loved Grandma Willford's wooden city that she painted. She would push the cars around for quite some time. The last two pictures are of all their Willford cousins on the back fence of the Willford Plantation.

Grandpa Willford flood irrigates and the girls and their cousins, Ethan and Isaac couldn't resist the amazing fun in the huge puddle in the front yard. I was hoping it didn't hurt the lawn too much, but after the water soaked in the grass looked completely fine. I have tons more pictures of this fun, so Jenny I think I'll be sending you some.

Picnic at the park near Holt Arena. One of the few pictures where I'm in it so I thought I'd post it as evidence that I am pregnant. Below Lauren was really enjoying Grandma and Grandpa Archibald's piano.
