I got up early with a grand idea. I had seen a cake that I wanted to copy, so I gathered my helpers and started baking.
They got the best part!
Then I sent the kids off to do their Saturday Morning Chores. Instead, they came back with their birthday hats…belting HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO US!
After sending them back out to clean the backyard, I caught them playing on their boat as they kept away from sharks.
So the backyard finally got cleaned — and off we went to Grandma’s and Grandpa’s house for breakfast.
Then we headed home for naps, and a little more baking from yours truly.
Look at this beauty! Don’t mind the Christmas platter — the others are at the barn. (Wink Wink Jim Zimm!)

In the late afternoon, we headed south to Chuck E. Cheeses to meet up with the Brockbanks.
The pizza is surprisingly good.
Especially to this little porker.
Off to the games where these cool dudes hit the hoops.
These two hit the photo booth.
Here are Doey and Icka on Safari. Icka wasn’t too sure about the entire car tipping.
Chloe “the saint” took little Icka wherever she wanted to go. Trey “the other saint” took Scout all night long, to the point that I went to find them a few times, and never tracked them down — hence, no picture.
While on one of my hunts for Scout, I ran into this bombshell. Mama Mia snatched a cup full of tokens and hit the skeeball. I literally took 20 photos of her within two feet, and she was oblivious! Classic Patty Poo.
Back to the cake.
Everyone was asking to cut it, but I just liked everyone to sit and think about how pretty it was instead.
I finally gave in and we sang to Icka.
Now remember that I had seen a cake that I loved?
Well this is the picture I saw….
How freaking cute!!!

Can you see the resemblance?
Micah pointed out where I should have done things differently.
NO DUH!
This just completely reiterates the fact that I HATE TO BAKE!!!!
I’d rather buy.
But don’t you worry — it still tasted great!
Especially right off the platter. I figured that white trash girl goes with white trash cake.
Oh well - you can’t say I didn’t try!

Happy Birthday Sissy! Your personality is in full force now, and between all of us we say “She is so stinking cute” about 20 times a day. You are still naughty, but you are the absolute joy of my life.
XOXO
Love, Mom
