Big Bird

Again, just now updating since, well, I awhile. In case you didn't know, the babies lil' kids turned 2 in August. Like I said, late in blogging. I have this thing about 2 year birthdays and Big Bird Cakes. I had a Big Bird Cake (from the same cake pan, thanks to my momma!) for my 2nd birthday. I made Cayden a Big Bird Cake for his 2nd birthday. I thought I saw a picture that had hubby with a Big Bird birthday cake for his 2nd birthday as well, but we aren't sure on that one - So I'm pretending he did. With that said, I decided to make a family tradition.

I started a few days before the triplets birthday. Aleah's cake of course was pink (strawberry cake). Bryce had a chocolate cake and Cayley had a white cake (I suppose I could have made it purple for her). I really debated having only one cake for the three of them to share, but opted to have 3 separate cakes. Beacause, You know, had they not been triplets and each had their own birthdays, they each would have had their own cake (or so I told myself). So they each must have their own cakes! It was time consuming, my back hurt from being hunched over the cakes decorating them. But in the end, to toot my own horn... these cakes turn out awesome!





On a side note: I am soooooo done making Big Bird Cakes!

A look back at the first days of school...

Back in August, we all (except dad) started school...

The "little kids" and mom were the first ones to go to school this year. Here are the lil kids as we are getting ready to head out. Keep in mind, "school" for the lil kids is really daycare. They started daycare this year. For the past 2 years, we have had people come into the house during the days to take care of them. This year, we decided it was best to put them in a structured daycare. They have adjusted well!

Cayden started KINDERGARTEN!!!!! I can't believe it. It has been an adventure for us through the first couple of months (as I am late in posting)

Having Cayden go off to kindergarten wasn't bad for me. I hear of some moms getting all emotional that their baby is growing up, but I was ok ...

UNTIL...

Cayden lost his first tooth! I wasn't ready for that at all. I think I about shed a tear the night it fell out! He was so proud of himself. It literally fell out of his mouth while he was talking to KiKi (Scott's mom) on the phone. He now has another wiggly tooth!
