Birthday Boys

Gavin's birthday was low key and fabulous. We had Grandpa and Grandma show up with Uncle Jacob for presents, cake, and ice cream. He got two tractors and a little remote control car.
He (and his little brothers) were in heaven!


For the last month now, both boys have decided they wanted a rocket cake for their birthdays. Gavin's of course had to blue (Xander's will have to be green.), so I made it blue inside and out. What you see was all made from one cake mix. I poured part of it in a small round for the moon, and the rest into a 9x13 lined with parchment paper. Once it was cool, I cut it up, pieced it back together, and iced away.
Look at the bottom three pics closely. Gavin couldn't get the last candle blown out for the life of him. He kept wanting to touch it and put it out. Xander finally got it for him! It was funny.

Happy Birthday to my little boy who is so grown up.

And yesterday was Ben's birthday... and I don't have a single picture to show for it.
Sunday we celebrated Josh (his brother) and Ben's birthdays at his parents' house. I didn't bring the camera, but we had cake with LOTS of candles for the two of them to share. And I even suprised Ben with one of his presents... a Shutterfly book I had made for him.
Yesterday, Ben's parents took the boys for the evening. We ordered Chinese to go and came home and watched Thor on Netflix. It was so nice.
After we picked up the boys, he opened his other present... the second Sherlock Holmes. But we didn't do cake or anything... and again I never got the camera out. Oh well.
Happy Birthday to an amazing hubby I love with all my heart. Glad we could spend a quiet evening together.
