Bobby is One Year Old!

Oh I felt like I didn’t do his birthday justice.  There I said it.  Yes, I told myself over and over that he’s one, and that he’ll never remember it, but I still felt bad that I didn’t make him a cake and get him a balloon and you know, just make it special for . . . → Read More: Bobby is One Year Old!

Happy Birthday Son

Little Jason is four years old!  It occurs to me that some day we’re going to have to quit calling him “Little” but for now I guess it’s okay!  I took him to McDonnalds for lunch.  My kiddos were all treated to chocolate dipped cones–yum!

He wanted a chocolate cake with . . . → Read More: Happy Birthday Son

Whose birthday is it?

Yesterday was my Birthday!  We spent most of the day at church, but Jason took us all out to a nice Mexican restaurant for supper.  “Now kids, this is Mama’s Birthday so let’s make this a special dinner for her,” Jason admonished as we all climbed out of the van.

The food was really good, . . . → Read More: Whose birthday is it?

Faith’s Eleventh Birthday

For Faith’s birthday I loaded all the kids in the van and took them to Krispy Kreme for breakfast.  We hit it at the perfect time because the “Hot and Ready” sign was on and we each received a complimentary hot original Krispy Kreme donut.  It doesn’t get much better than that!  Krispy Kreme is . . . → Read More: Faith’s Eleventh Birthday

Happy Birthday my Husband

One of these days I’ll realize that I just can’t do everything I used to be able to do…or will I?  Jason asked for a taco dinner with all the fixings and a banana cream pie for his birthday.  My gift to him, at least in part, is the desired meal made with love.

Baking my Husband’s First Birthday Cake from Me

When we first got married, I was teaching full time and taking six graduate hours each semester, while my husband was finishing his degree. So two years later when my husband took his first job, I was able to stay home and focus my efforts on being a wife and homemaker.

We didn’t have any . . . → Read More: Baking my Husband’s First Birthday Cake from Me

My Little Boy is Three!

We began our day at the Safari Park, where my little Birthday Boy was for some odd reason very timid and wouldn’t ride anything!  For lunch my sister and I took the kids to Joe’s Crab Shack because we thought the kids would enjoy the playground.  It was a perfect, slightly chilly Texas day!  The . . . → Read More: My Little Boy is Three!

Faith’s 10th Birthday Celebration

Meal of choice:

Homemade pizza, taco salad, Pringles, and Root beer

The meal proved to be problematic.  I only knew of one store that carried the salad she wanted.  I had to make a special trip to that store to get it.  The pizza, well, I just found myself . . . → Read More: Faith’s 10th Birthday Celebration
