Tuesday was Patrick's 6th birthday but we didn't have his party until Sat! It is hard to believe my baby is 6 years old! Where does the time go? He is big into TMNT right now so he wanted a ninja turtle cake. I was lucky enough to find one of the old Wilton pans from the 80's. I was not happy with the way it turned out but Patrick loved it and that is all that mattered. Right? I know what the problem was though. I used the whipped icing and it was too hot in the kitchen while I was icing so it got to soft.
Patrick with his cake!

And with all his little friends. The little girl right next to Patrick is his little "girlfriend" Lily. Yeah still the same one from last year! She is such a little doll!

Here is a quick pic of his Halloween costume this year too! He has all the ninja moves down...lol

Thanks for sticking around to see all my pics! I hope you have a fabulous day!

Wow! Has it really been 2 months since I posted? Actually it has been at least that long since I have been on any of my scrap sites too. Girls I haven't forgotten about you. I promise to be back soon. The only site I have been on is the K2R blog. Actually that is all of the scrapping I have gotten done as well. We had a virus on our computer around Thanksgiving I believe it was. And I messed my wrist and hand up so I have been staying off of the computer and no scrapping except for what I needed to do. Because I about couldn't stand the pain just from normal things I had to do. They still don't know what is going on with me. But there is a knot on the top of my hand and we don't know where it came from. At least it doesn't hurt as much now. So I am not complaining.
Lets see...I never posted any of Patrick's birthday pictures. Here are just a few. He wanted a godzilla party. So this is the cake I came up with. I think it turned out pretty good. He was so excited because he recieved 4 more of the creatures..lol

While I am on cakes. Here is the Barney cake I did for my nephew, Carsyn's 2nd birthday. Patrick couldn't believe I was making Barney since I refused to let him watch it when he was little...lol...and he doesn't see why anyone likes him. Thats my boy!

Thats it for now. I will be back tomorrow with some scrappy stuff. I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season full of family, friends and wonderful memories.

Happy 5th Birthday!!!

My baby turns 5 today!! Five! I can't believe it! He is growing so fast and is so grown acting..lol. This is him first thing this morning as we were leaving for school. He is so NOT a morning person. Just like his mama..lol. Even though I was up at 5 am and he followed shortly after. But at least we got to spend some quite time together.
He had a little party at school this afternoon. I took cupcakes, goody bags, chips and juice for the class. He got to wear the "prince" crown for the day. And of course we had to get a photo of him and Miss Michelle! She is the best teacher ever...we just love her!
Happy Birthday Patrick! I hope you had a great one! Now...slow down and don't grow up so fast! I love you!!
We will be having a big party on Saturday! So check back for lots of photos..lol

On a scrappy note I did get a couple of projects done for the monthly theme challenges at Paper Popsicles.

We were to alter an item and then use the same design for a card. I used these yummy Pink Paislee papers and a little notebook/pen combo that I got at Biglots for $1. Scenic Route chipboard and SEI alphas and of course stickles.

We were also challenged to alter a paint can. Which I love to do so this wasn't a problem. I made this one for Patrick's teacher. We made cookies and gave it to her with a card! I love these fun Doodlebug papers.

I hope everyone had a great weekend! I was sick the entire weekend and I did nothing at all! So now I am off to catch up over at Scrapdango! I love it there and I have been MIA for about 3 weeks..so lots to catch up on.

Happy 4th Birthday Patrick!!!!

It is so hard to believe that my baby is 4 years old! It seems like yesterday that he was just a tiny helpless baby and now he is a sassy 4 year old. Boy time sure does fly by. It seems that time just flys by but that is okay I will follow behind by just a few steps and take time to savor all the little moments.
Sweet boy of mine I am so blessed to be your mom. You have blessed my life abundantly and I couldn't imagine it without you in it. I love you my boy.

Here is a few pics of the birthday boy blowing out his candles and then plowing in his cake. He has been itching to plow in the field since he saw me making it yesterday so I promised him that he could do it after he blew out the candles. And that is exactly what he did. And then moved on to the presents, he didn't come back to the cake until after everyone left.


I was so excited that I got this shot, eventhough I almost missed it. This was from first thing this morning when Patrick came in and found the dining room decked out in John Deere stuff including large wall stickers.



Here he is at just 1 month old....Look how much he has changed.
