Levi's 1st Birthday

A couple of weekends ago Gina and the kids came up to visit over the weekend and Richard and Mom and Dad joined us on Saturday evening. Gina and I spent tons of time in the kitchen and I will have to share the recipes on my other blog, Jana's Messy Kitchen. Here is the beginning of Levi's birthday cake, Carrot Cake with Cream cheese frosting.

Levi with Grandpa Craven on Sunday morning.

He loves to wear Grandpa's glasses

After meeting we had Great Grandma/Pa Craven, Great Aunt Carol, Aunt Sandy and Alyssa and Jamin over for lunch. We had Light and Sticky Chicken over Coconut Rice, peas and Mandrin Salad. Everything was yummy.

He was just starting to walk a few steps on his own.

Levi opening his gifts, he liked this one and was jigging to the music that it played.
His brother and sisters also liked his new toys!

Riding around on his airplane scooter, the propeller works!

Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you,
Happy Birthday dear Levi, Happy Birthday to you.

Eating his cake, Mmmm.

Num Num.

Surprise in the Mail

I got a surprise package in the mail the other day! This arrived from Janelle in CO. You may remember way back to this post in February, this is what Janelle made for me! Isn't it great, it is a beach bag, or for hauling whatever else I need to. I need to get working on my projects, I have started them, but they just take a while!

Birthday Hot Fudge Cake

I made this hot fudge cake for Great Aunt Carol's and Grandma and Grandpa Craven's birthdays. They are all consecutive at the end of July, Carol's is the 28th, Grandma's is the 29th and Grandpa's is the 30th. I took it with to meeting and we had it with ice cream afterward.
