2 days to go

Today was part of Olivia's 7th Birthday Celebration. Her birthday is not until the 9th but so much to do in so little time. We headed to my favorite pedicure place and treated her to her first one.

I give her pedicures about every two weeks, but this is a whole lot better. She really loved it, even the tickley parts...

Olivia picked out purple polish and asked the lady to do a design too.

Her pretty little toes.

she was really interested in the drier .

And of course stopped at the Candy shop for a Carmel apple to share.

Of course I got the same color on my toes too.

Then we headed home to make her ice cream cake. Never made one before!

Crushed up oreo's (I ate all the fillings, yummy), 1 stick of melted butter, 2 containers of chocolate ice cream, frosting and coloring to decorate.

The ice cream was a little difficult to figure out how to get it smooth, hit - kitchen aid mixture with milk. Freeze again! The frost it and decorate as a family.

Cakes are some much better when you do them all together.

I just hope it taste good tomorrow!

(thanks Brianne for all your birthday tips you have posted)

Princeton Hot Springs

Jonathan and I headed to Buena Vista, co for a couples get away. We could not check into our room until 3pm so we went on a 5 mile hike to see some falls.

on our way there we came across this eaten out tree.

had to cross maybe 5 streams/ creeks.

on one of our stops, we heard a tree fall. YES a tree makes a very loud noise when it falls in a forest. this picture was about a minute after it happened.

we made it to Brown Creek Falls, and had a great time there. The falls were pretty impressive.

messing around with my camera, I took a cool shot of Jonathan walking and wish I remembered how.

we hiked to the top of the falls to find smaller ones. Jonathan had a great time climbing every where.

After our hike we headed to our room to check in. From our porch we had a great view of 2 fourteen thousand foot mountains.

Before dinner we had to check out the slide hot spring pool.

The water was prefect and the slide was fun as well.

as the sun was setting, our neighbors took our picture.

The next day we went for another hike. This one was only 0.5 miles.

This short hike was great and beautiful. Colorado has some great waterfalls. Agnes Vaille Falls was really cool, and the little get away was awesome. Ready for work again.

Kindergarden Graduation

Olivia Graduated Kindingarden today. She was able to pick out her favorite dress, she picked her hair style and we were ready. (she wears uniforms at school)

She was so excited about today in so many ways.

She was very nurvious about performing infront of other people. She called it butterflies in her belly.

She did awesome though. She sang, played a kazoo, and did a little jig at the end.

She was thrilled when it was all over.

Her Treacher Mrs. Hoyt gave her certificate.

And then she ran to Daddy for her proud moment.

Yea, I am done!

She is a First grader finally.

All her hard work paid off.

Jonathan and I headed to Washington DC for him winning the Star of Life award. Jonathan is a paramedic in the springs and won the ward for 2009. our first few hours there we went to dinner and walked around Crystal City. We ate at the Morton's Steak house. Very Pricey but very good food. I totally recommend it once and definitely get a dessert.

Our second day there we went to Arlington National Cemetery.

We Walked that day about 10-12 miles seeing all the sites. We went to the Korean Memorial, Vietnam Memorial, Lincon Memorial, White house, National History Museum, and so much more.
