A boy turns one and a science center with little girl next to a big ear, astronauts, and a little boy chipmunk

On April 14, Thomas turned one and my dad turned one for the 63rd time. Maranda found an idea to create a birthday cake that looks like the one year old on their birthday. Here is her version of Thomas.









A tradition that Mike's family has is to allow the one year old access to the cake on the ground. Taden just daintily picked at the icing, but Thomas devoured almost the whole piece in around 5 minutes.



We departed Indiana on Thursday the 26th. 51.5 hours in the van we made it to the beautiful state of Washington on Tuesday the 31st. We spent a couple of days with Mike's sister. On Saturday we went up to Portland to visit with Natasha, Grandpa Dave and Ben and we went to OMSI (Oregon Museum of Science and Industry.) Here are some of my favorite snapshots.








One of the highlights was being able to become astronauts. Everyone shows off their own unique personalities. Taden refused to stick his face in it. Grandpa Dave told him to stick his face in so that he cold kiss him. Taden just sticks his head in. (That's the first picture.)













They had a dress up costume in a play zone for Thomas. Here are some of our favorite shots of our cute little chipmunk.
