Welcome To My Life: June 2010

{ Party Time }

Today was suppose to be Brayden's birthday pool party

but we cancelled it because it has been raining too hard to have a party.

(The party has turned into a FIFA soccer watching get-together)

But his birthday was still fun....

Well the cake has been eaten, the gifts all opened and the guest are all gone.

The birthday party is over....

and Brayden has officially turned into a teenager.

Party time:

and the best for last...

And I agree with Shaye...

He is definitely sharing.

{ project for the day...bday cake }

This was my project for the day..with Shaye's help.

Step one:

get all ingredients

step two:

mix together for 2 minutes

Step three:

pour into pans and bake

Step four:

frost and decorate

Step five:

add candles...and worms

Shaye ( my little elf-helper) did such a great job decorating the b-day cake.

She's quite the trooper making a triple chocolate cake for her brother,

considering she doesn't even like chocolate.

Yum-o.

The cake was a success.

Only one piece left.

I wonder if Brayden would mind if I ate it for breakfast?

Chocolate goes great with coffee!

(are you still wondering what's in the box????)

{ 13 years ago...}

Posted by { LB } June 10, 2010 comments (0)

13 years ago today my life changed.

I had my first child...my son Brayden.

June 6, 1997

Today is his 13th birthday and I'm wondering where did all those years go.

The cute little boy holding match box cars and dinosaurs.

The little boy that could watch pokemon for hours (well, he still does that).

He would sit quietly for hours watching things and people.

The years went by fast!

And now the "teenage" years begin..

What will they bring?

attitude, talking-back, resentment, "whatever"s...

I hope they bring...

growth, strength, confidence, and a peek to what he will become.

And I hope to have 13 years and more to watch it all unfold.

Happy Birthday Brayden!

We're going to have a party later and I can't wait to see his expression when he opens this...

Well...Pat and I went a little "over the top" when it comes to this gift, but it will be a gift he has to share.

I'm excited about that!

You will just have to wait to see what's in the box...
I can't spoil the surprise.

A special birthday dinner tonight, then cake, then presents.

Saturday will be his birthday-pool party.

A little bbq, games, swimming and family.

It should be fun!
