I know I've been a horrible blogger this summer and we've had such fun and done so many things that I can't possibly add them in one post. So I thought I'd start with Birthdays, since that is how we start out our summers.

Here is Kate's 1st Birthday. She had a Very Hungry Caterpillar cake.

She also really enjoyed her first cupcake.

Here is Jake's 4th Birthday. He got to share his birthday party with his good friend, Luke.

He insisted on a Lighting McQueen cake, so here it is with chocolate donut tires and Junior Mint eyes.

This is Carson's 6th Birthday party. Notice how I have my kids' parties at our neighborhood pool - free and easy cleanup.

Carson was determined on having an Optimus Prime cake for his birthday. I tried to talk him into just having the transformers symbol since that would have been so much easier (and better looking) but he knew what he wanted, and, well, it was his birthday - so I did my best. It's not the prettiest cake I've ever made, but he was soooo excited so that made it near perfect.
