Another Cake

In September we now to get to have cake 9 days apart. This can be a good thing or bad, depending on how many friends you can find to eat it with you!!!

Today is my birthday and I have had a really good one. Last night Jeff took me to a great pizza place in downtown named Zanata. It was low key but very fancy! It reminded me of Albuquerque.

My morning started off with my friends in class singing me happy birthday with a twist. At the end of each line kids now add, "eat more chicken". None of us are sure what it means. Perplexing! They don't really even know?????

My team brought me a gorgeous cake and when I got home another friend had sent me a beautiful flowers and a candle. Tonight I am spending time with the girls. So even though I am half way to 70, which sounds extremely frightening life is really good.

There is a monkey on a back. That I must put to bed now.

Fun Celebration

Here is Brent on his 2nd birthday, the actual day. It was so cute because I took about 3 pictures and he loved looking in the camera and then going back and posing again. Love that smile!
I made his cake and enjoyed having a few minutes to decorate it. It was one of the calmest things that I did all day. We had several close friends over to bar-b-q and have cake and ice cream. Very low key but so fun.
When I showed Brent his cake he even said, "wow"
Luckily Brigette had the idea to get a family picture. I'm so pleased with how it came out.
Mason and Brent had fun playing and talking with the dogs through the window.
Present time was fun. Brent had lots of good help opening presents and tons of fun with all the goodies!

Happy Birthday Brent

Brent turned 2 today. Hard to believe because he is growing up so fast!

He loves to climb up on everything.
He will follow after his sister and do whatever she is doing.
He enjoys playing cars, shooting baskets, and making "play" food with his sisters.

He has started climbing out of his bed but luckily we have found some peace in that he will stay now until the morning! Thankfully! I am not ready for the toddler bed.

He has begun potty training. All his doing. Not mine. I'm fine waiting until forever.... But choo-choo underwear are so cool.

He throws a fit when we make him sit in a high-chair of any sort or wear a bib, because of course he is a big boy now.

He still gives me kisses, and hugs and lets me rock him whenever I want to. I love him dearly!

Happy Birthday Brent
