The baby is THREE!!!!

Wesley celebrated his 3rd birthday on the 20th. He is getting so big! I cannot believe that he is already hitting this mark. Time is going by so fast..I need it to slow down, and since it won't we are trying to make sure we make the most of our time. We had a great day! Davidhad the day off and we took Wesley to get new shoes and socks, big boy underwear...he chose Thomas the Train, lunch at Mimi's, a Shamu cake, presents, and dinner at John's Incredible Pizza. He wanted to add Shamu in the pool in the backyard, but we couldn't swing it for him...I know shocker!! haha (: He is a fun little..uhh...I mean big boy. He is so sweet and so fun! I am so glad that he is ours and we get to watch him grow, learn, and be. Happy Birthday Wesley!!











Shamu...the cake!

Here is Wesley's birthday cake...I think it could be tons better...but Wesley LOVED it!! He won't eat Shamu and keeps petting the Shamu and saying, "Don't worry we won't eat you." I am wonderin ghow long he expects to keep the Shamu part of the cake....hmmmmm.....
The back side

the fin...I would do it differently next time.

The kid...Shamu ROCKS!!! And yes he sang We will ROCK you when he saw the cake. (:

I wanted to have three shades of blue for the waves...but time was against me....

My favorite pic of the cake..the BEST side...yes cakes can and cannot be photogenic...
So there it is..another attempt at a creation. The cake was yummy too!!

Genni


I came across this picture of Genni Bain today. I love it!! It is from our Valentine Day playgroup Party. Genni is so amazing!! She is the sweetest girl! She is always willing to have fun! Genni is always smiling and she is easy to talk to and be friends with! She has such a good heart. Genni is very giving of herself, her time, and her talents. I have recently learned that Genni loves music and her range of music is very very wide...all I need to say is Karaoke night...Gold Digger. She is a good singer too!! About as good as me! (: haha. I love to be around Genni, she is so sweet, fun, and kind. I love Genni! She has two of the cutest kids ever! Wyatt and Aurora...who is brand new. Wyatt is such a boy and is so fun to watch! He has the prettiest eyes. And I am sure that Aurora will be a little princess and alot of fun!! Genni will always stay close to my heart as a dear friend who loves a good time and does'nt worry who is watching! It is very catchy! And you can't help but smile and have fun when around Genni! I am grateful to have her as my friend. I have learned alot from Genni and she is such a great example to me. I enjoy watching her with her children and appreciate what a great mother she is~I am blessed to know her! Love you Genni!

My Valentine!

We had a good weekend. None of it was planned, which makes it more fun. Friday we had Outback takeout..yummy! And we went hot tubbing with my sis Kristie and her hubby Jeff. We had dessert in the tub..strawberries whipcream and hot fudge! (A Valetnines Day must have!!) And chatted in the night away with Kristie and Jeff. I really am not a HUGE fan of V Day. I think people waste a ton of money and for what?? I know my hubby loves me...he tells me everyday! I hope I do the same for him! He came home from work on Friday with this...






So for the girl who can take it or leave when it comes to V Day...it was a great year! Dave was very thoughtful in what he did for me this year. I even got a new purse! A few friends told me "hey I saw you in the parking lot of Best Buy. I knew it was you with your Thomas the Train backpack." I knew then I needed a change from Wesley's backpack to a grownup purse! On Saturday we went to dinner with the rest of the world to the Morongo Casino. They have GREAT restaurants there. Lessoned learned however..do not go to the Morongo casino on V Day and when they have a concert at the same time! Yikes!!!

I have the best Valentine! A man who loves me and helps me. A man who works hard for our family. A man who loves his children and plays with them. A man who lets me have those crazy bad days. A man who lets me go to scrap night until 4 am and doesn't complain. A man who is a fabulous cook! A man who laughs with me, cries with me, loves me. I love you David!
