Before I get into the baby and life stuff, I must first start with the birthdays that happened.
Jag turned 6!! May 21st wasn't just Anya's birthday, it was my favorite little 6 year old's day too.
He had wanted a jungle cake. The night before his actual birthday, I'd gotten 48 cupcakes made with some ready for school and the rest to be made into his cake. I knew I should have stayed up and finished, but sleep prevailed and well the rest is history. My dad was great at frosting the cupcakes, singing, opening the gifts, and taking the pictures. I still have to get them off of my dad's camera. 6 days after Jag's day is Davis's birthday. I couldn't make Davis a cake if Jag still hadn't gotten his official celebration. So...here is his tiger cake. It isn't beautiful, but he liked it anyway.
Just as "Happy Birthday" was ending and Jag was gearing up for the big blow out the candles moment, Noah gave a big puff... Jag was heartbroken.
Round 2 was a success.
This is the only picture I have of Jag and his gifts. Thanks to a last minute gift from his dad. A headlight to read in bed.
On May 27th Davis turned 11! How quickly they grow. His birthday list was mostly a list of books. He put in his order for an OREO birthday cake. He wanted it to taste and look like a large OREO.
Davis declared it a success! Hurray, it tasted like an OREO.
Books, books, and more books. So happy and excited. (He seriously read at least 5 books in the following 2 days. That's my boy!)
2 birthday's down. 1 blogging baby step. It is going to take me a bit to catch up with the last 4 weeks. I now have a goal to be done with this by the weekend, so don't get too bored with us. I must catch up, it has been bugging me.
Jess, you are a SUPER WOMAN! No wonder we all love you! Where was the little Princess when all the partying was going on?? Girls just want to have fun - you know that. I love you all.

I have to admit that I rejoice a bit each year that my kids decide they want "something else" other than a fancy birthday cake. Last year, everyone wanted a big bowl of caramel corn. Easy-peasy!!
ReplyDeleteBTW - what is in the middle of that Oreo cake? Because now I'm CRAVING Oreo cake. And a tall glass of cold milk. Mmmmmm . . .
It's amazing to me that most of your kids' birthdays are all within weeks / days / hours of one another. I don't know how you handle it all, but it looks like you are. Happy birthday to the whole lot of them!
ReplyDeleteGeez woman ... slow down!!! Ha ha ha! I know that never happens, especially as subsequent little ones arrive, they just have to go with the flow.
