Someone's 5!



I can't believe how fast the time has gone. My first baby is 5. He will be starting kindergarden this year. Or should I say "WE" will be starting kindergarten this year. :) Yes, we will be homeschooling. After weighing all the options, it seemed like the best choice. So to kick start B's birthday we made our first stop at the school to order his curriculum for the year. Then on the way home we made a stop at the dollar tree to let each of the kids pick out a few new toys. While the girls were napping B and I worked on making the rest of his birthday cake. He has been quite the angry bird fanatic and after seeing some fun cakes on youtube I thought we could give it a shot. It wasn't super hard, just a bit time consuming. But in the end, totally worth it.


After making tiny batches of different colored marshmallow fondant, there was shaping and putting together all the pieces. And S ran to the store for me and found the coolest pens made just for writing on cakes and such. That made the detailing a cinch. Add a couple twix and a candle and we were set!

But we couldn't dig in until after dinner! On the menu: Angry Bird Pizza!



It was a wonderful day to celebrate our wonderful boy, and the 5 years we have been blessed by his love, laughter & spirit. What a treasure he is and how thankful we are.

A to the Third

So this post is a few weeks late but better late than never. :) February was a busy month for us. And one of the contributing factors: My crazy, sweet, hilarious, helpful, beautiful, thoughtful, spunky daughter has turned 3. It was a fun time to celebrate. From the orange bear cake and her new scooter, to spending time with all of her cousins.

My dear sweet girl

Your compassion is pure
Your smile is contagious
A jokester and cuddle bug
Strong willed and courageous
I treasure you and thank you
