Happy Birthday Buddy!

My Oldest Boy Orion celebrated his 4th birthday on 26th July 2010!! We had a fun family play time at the park with some friends, blowing bubbles, sliding on the slides, opening presents and eating cake. His favorite present was his new bike of course, and he refused to take the helmet off lol. Anyway so when asked what he wanted his birthday cake to be he said "I just want a slide Mom." Great! A slide, how the heck was I going to pull that one off with what I had in the house? I'll tell ya how... I made the cake he had picked out (Confetti cake) and whipped up some butter cream frosting. Crushing Gram crackers and mixing in yellow sugar sprinkles I made a "sandbox". The teeter-todder is a Gram cracker and Tootsie roll, the toy ball is a small jaw breaker. And the slide? A stick of celery with dum-dum sucker posts! And surprisingly enough both Orion and his friend ate some of the slide WOOT! He loved the cake and I was glad I was able to make his cake wish come true.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KIDDO!
July 7th 2010, Elias turns 2 years old! He's no longer my little baby, he's my toddler, all grown up. *sniff sniff, wipes tear* Okay I'm good now. For his birthday he got to go to the theater to watch Surf's Up with all the other kids from the Library's Summer reading program. Shopping with Mommy (he loves to be my helper). And had a few friends meet us at the park to play and eat cake. He had a blast and hopefully he's as worn out as I am and will sleep in a bit tomorrow. :P Any who so here's a picture of him, and then a picture of his cake. He told me he wanted a car cake, it ended up becoming a little truck, but he still loved it and it was actually fairly simple to make. Now Orion is telling me he wants a Train cake for his birthday later this month *sigh* we'll see.
