And then he was three...

So today is the big day...my baby turns 3!!! I cannot believe it! I was telling my mom this morning that I remember everything about January 24, 2007. What a wonderful day it was!! I had a little bit longer labor than usual, about 12 hours. But it was so relaxing and wonderful. And then when 9:00 came around, it was only going to be a few more minutes before I could touch, feel, and hear my newborn make noise for the first time. That few minutes was 8 to be exact. Eight short minutes of pushing was unbelievable!

So this year for his birthday, as I posted earlier, I decided that I wanted to make his cake. It wasn't going to be as hard and it was. But thanks to my ever loving sister who forgot that I needed decorating tips brought to me, I was able to pull it off. My mom and I woke up pretty earlier to get started. She found a pastry filler that she had bought from pampered chef and we wrigged it up just enough to make it work. It isn't perfect, but it was my first and I am proud of it.

So this is the after math of the cake...it turned out pretty well, however I think that i need to work on lettering a little bit. But I am SOOOO proud of myself. Of course, I did have to have some help from my mom. Then, I went into the bathroom for about 5 minutes and when I came back out, Kaden had decided that he wanted to put all ten birthday candles in the cake, and push te mystery machine down into the cake as to hide it. I wanted to get so mad, but it was his birthday. So I decided to take the mystery machine out, fill the hole with frosting, and somehow cover up the candle holes without destroying it completely. And this is what it looks like now....

Oh well...what do you do? Its his birthday and he's smash his cake if he wants to!!!
