Birthday Fun

 

This Boy Turned 4 years old On the 5th of September. Were has the time gone? What a cute little mess he is!

We celebrated it on Monday with Cake and swimming.

 When I asked Cory what kind of cake he wanted me to make for his birthday, The answer wasn't surprising but a lot more detailed then I had planned. I was given very specific instructions to make a jungle birthday cake, but he didn't stop there he proceeded to tell me he had to have an elephant, hippo, zebra, tiger, rhino, lion, monkeys, alligators, and a giraffe! When i laughed and said ok I will see what I can do he didn't stop he insisted that there be a river and the hippo and alligators had to be swimming in the river!!

Well I gave it my best shot, the whole time wondering if i would be able to live up to these expectations. Especially because I was wanting to try and make everything edible meaning no plastic toys could be put on this cake (maybe next time I wont try to be the “cake boss”)

After 5 cake mixes (no I didn't make the cake from scratch and i don't care if I did) 1 tub of Crisco 3lbs of Fondant and 8lbs of powder sugar—And 3 days of work here is what I came up with

This is by far the most detailed and biggest cake I have ever made so far. It was a lot of work and fun. I learned a lot like the palm trees need to be made at least 4 days in advance!! But Cory got everything he wanted a jungle river cake with an elephant, zebra, tiger, giraffe, lion, rhino, monkeys and a hippo and alligators swimming in the river, I even added some jungle flowers, snakes and birdies just for fun--

Here are some more detailed pictures 

--Happy Birthday Cory--

We Love you!! 

   

Birthday BOY Continued...

Here are pictures from Kellin’s Party Last Saturday. Because we decided kind of last minute to do it the Saturday before his birthday we were only really able to invite family.
Kellin was so tired at his party because he was up so early and was ready for his nap once 11:00 came around but he stayed awake the whole time and then some. I guess there was just too much going on to sleep through it.
The Cake…
This sucker took me ALL day Friday to make and then some on Saturday Morning, But it was worth it it was tasty and I Loved how it turned out!

Birthday BOY!

Yesterday was Kellin’s Birthday! I cant believe how fast this last year flew by. We celebrated his Birthday on Saturday with a our families, So Yesterday I took the boys to get an ice-cream cone with sprinkles.
Kellin is growing so quickly And he is the happiest baby ever always smiling or laughing at something or nothing. For a while he was growing pretty fast but he seems to have slowed down staying at around 18-19 lbs for the last several months don't let that fool you though because he is still as squishy as can be with rolls to spare!
I have never been able to get over how beautiful this boy is! Big blue eyes perfectly pink lips soft golden hair and a little round face, I swear he is too pretty sometimes to be a boy- But he is ALL boy he loves to play with balls and eat dirt! He still isn't walking and actually doesn't really want anything to do with it other then walking along the furniture. Whenever we try to get him to walk while hold his arms or body he just gets so mad and tries to sit down its so funny, he is a little stinker
Kellin has been such a sweet blessing in our home and we are so thankful Heavenly Father sent him to us so that we get to enjoy him!!!
We LOVE you Kellin Happy 1st birthday!!!!
