Evie's Madeline Party {the fun!}

I can't believe it's been a month since we celebrated our little girl turning one!  My how time flies.  I can't wait to write her last of her monthly updates.  It's coming soon, I promise!  In the mean time, I'm sharing with you the preciousness of her first birthday party celebration.

We had a terrible time deciding how big or small to make the party, but ended up with a number that was just right.  My parent's house was FULL of Evie's baby friends and our family.


No sooner had my family wrapped up Evie's Hungry Caterpillar Baby Shower, did I think of having a Madeline themed birthday party.  Okay, maybe Evie was like 6 weeks old?  I learned that the little dog in the Madeline stories is named Genevieve and thought it would be a perfect fit!  Primary colors, French-ish food, so fun!  And it was!



Evie was spoiled with some big kid toys.  Eric and I got her a cozy coupe (thank you Mom's group facebook page, I got this for a steal second hand). Grandma and Grandpa B got her an off-roading wagon.  Her Godparents got her the little princess ride along.  She also received a toddler tree house with slide from Nana and Grandpa.  And other great fun things from her friends!!!


Of course the highlight of any One Year Old's birthday is the smash cake!  Evie is such a careful eater (at least she was until she turned 1. Ha!) so she needed some coaching from Daddy.

















We're disappointed that G. Daddy (he was sick) and Aunt Leeann and Uncle Dan (they were at a wedding) couldn't represent the Buergler side of the family. But we were so glad Grandma pulled through!!

Thanks for all the help Nana and Grandpa Corsetti!!

Four generations! And so many moon-eyes!

And this party girl has had enough! (This picture reminds me of something off icanhascheezburger)

Happy Birthday, Miss Evie!

Stay tuned later this week for a post about all the party details: decor, the cakes, the dress, the food! And LOTS more pictures :)

Where has she been?*

It's been a while, friends. Hi! Where did we leave off?  Ah yes, the roach .  He's still alive.  It's been over 10 days.  Though, he's slowing down and looking a little skinnier than when we first found him.  Maybe I'm making it up. I've started my new job with my friends lawn maintenance company.  Most of my time has been spent learning all the new (to me) software, moving the office to it's new locations, and just learning what the company does and offers.  Chris and I have had a great time working together so far.  I'm really enjoying learning new things.  Chris has already taught me a lot about great customer service. This weekend was my last retreat with middle school kids.  It was bittersweet. We had a spirit filled weekend full of lots of laughs, low ropes, rock wall, ultimate frisbee, prayer, and learning about Jesus. Our theme was "You Never Let Go" and we discussed three parables:  The Lost Sheep, The Lost Coin, ...

Baking with Betty: Dunwoody Dip

You're probably asking yourself, what is Dunwoody Dip? And it's a great question! It's easy to make. Melty. Cheesy. Meaty. A little bit spicy. And everyone LOVES it!  The origin, though, it's a more difficult to nail down.  My grandmother, who is from Dunwoody, Ga, actually heard about this dip when she was visiting friends in Denver.  Urban legend has it that some guy brought the dip to a party in Denver and when prompted for a name he stalled and said "Dunwoody Dip." Because, apparently he was from Dunwoody.   Who really knows? All I do know, is that this dip is yummy, very easy to make, and is always the first gone at a party or family get together.  Also, Eric might have married me because of this... Dunwoody Dip Ingredients: One tube of Jimmy Dean Hot Sausage Two cans of Rotel Tomatoes - Hot Two bars of Cream Cheese Big bag of Fritos Scoops Directions: Preheat oven to 325. In a large frying pan over medium-ish heat, brown the sausage. ...
