Yesterday Em turned 5! She was woke up by Baby B, B daddy and I going to her room to sing Happy Birthday to her. In the process El woke up and started singing also. Em woke up and smiled and when we were done got up and gave me a hug, Baby B a kiss, and El a hug for singing to her. We had bible study that morning and afterwards went to Chick-fil-a to eat with B daddy. Then we came home and had 2 friends come over to play and spend the night. We made homemade pizza and brownies at my in-laws and swim till 8:30pm. One of the little girls decided to go home with her parents after swimming and the other stayed the night with us. The girls had a great time playing and having fun.
We love you sweet Em! You are such a blessing from God and a joy to our family.
We are planning on taking the girls to the Rodeo Thursday night as part of their birthday gift. My girls love horses and animals. I just pray it is not crazy HOT! I know they will have fun anyway.

Happy Birthday Brittain Kids
We decided to have one BIG party to celebrate our kids' births instead of 3 separate ones. So our first plan was to have a pony come and do rides at our house and have cake and ice cream. The problem with that plan is that we live in a HOT place and having an outside party, where water is not involved is not a very good idea. So plan #2 is to go to the in-laws pool and have a pool party.
B daddy and I usually make some fun cakes for their birthdays. So I was thinking that we needed a good bit since we had so many people coming. So Em wanted a pink cake so I decided to do strawberry cup cakes with strawberry icing. Then I made some yellow cake cup cakes and a choc sheet cake. I was trying to decide what to do with them and found this cute cake online that was a pool cake that is make to look like an above ground pool with teddy grahams as the people, but the cake is ice cream. I thought that I could do that and cup cakes. When I came home with the stuff that I thought would work for the pool part, I discovered that I had about 1/2 of what I needed, so I nixed that idea and went with the sheet cake idea, because that would have cost more at this point. So I found some cute cup cakes with blue icing that had life saver rings and a teddy graham in it to look like an inner tube. I thought I can do that. I bought all the stuff and started Friday baking. I made 2 batches of cup cakes and decorated them and put them in my cup cake storage containers. I also make a sheet cake and did graham crackers on one side to be a beach and the other side with blue icing to be the water. I put the life savers with teddy grahams in the water with some edible fish I found at Hobby Lobby. When we checked them Saturday afternoon about an hour before the party we noticed that all the icing was melted off and the rings were busted and the teddy grahams we mussy... So I took them out of the container and took all the stuff of them and put them in the fridge to start over. Good thing that I saved some icing!! Needless to say it all turned out fine and their party was a big success.

My Sweet Boy Turns 1!
Well June 30th was Baby B's birthday. We all walked in his room that morning singing Happy Birthday to him. We get ready and headed to bible study, then off the lunch with daddy. That evening I made a cake and a cup cake for him and we had dinner with the family that is in town.
What a sweet boy we have been blessed with. Here are some of the things that make him special:
*He is so loving and fun to have around.
*I love his easy going spirit and his wonderful smiles.
*He loves his daddy so much. He wakes up asking for him and continues to look for him when we leave his room. If daddy is in the room most of the time he needs to be holding him.
*He loves blueberries and can eat them so fast. The first time he had them I thought he dropped 1/2 of them until I realized they were all gone.
*He loves to eat in general. The boy can put away some food!
*He loves his sisters and loves playing with them.
*He lights up when he sees any of us.
*He loves to play in their room. He likes to crawl on their bed and just sit and play. When he is done he comes down head first and keeps on going.
* He's got the plasma car riding down. He rolls all over the house.
* I am so blessed to call him my son, he is so special and sweet. I just love getting some sweet loving from him.
