This weekend was Bear's BIRTHDAY Extravaganza Weekend. We had an immediate family party on Saturday (22 people) and then a friends party on Sunday (10 kids) and today is the actual day. He wanted an Army tank cake for his party so Mommy went to the store and bought what I thought I might need. I baked the cake Thursday and then had to go out for awhile on Friday evening. When I got home, This is what I found.... Chad had made the cake, all by himself. When I got home, he was 90% done. Any of you who know me could imagine how hard it was for me to come in and simply sit down and watch him finish it without ANY IMPUT!!! I guess that is why I love him so much.... look at that cake! (I did get to take part in the cleaning up though, lucky me!)
Anyway, it is that time of year again, birthday season, so I am thinking back to where I was eight years ago. Yes that is right, EIGHT YEARS AGO!!!!! As of right now, I believe they had just told me my little monkey had flipped breech and we had begun preparing for a Csection. In a little over an hour, I would be holding my first born son for the first time ever. Chad and I became parents for the first time this day eight years ago. I can not even put into words how much more wonderful our life is now because of Barrett. He was such a sweet, snuggly, calm baby boy and has really turned into a wonderful young man. He is still sweet and caring, fun and vivacious, active, careful, smart, thoughtful and most of all the most precious gift we could have been given eight years ago.
Happy Birthday (not so) Baby Boy! We love you.........

Bravo! Chiseled Chad. That is one fantastic tank cake! And I should know. Remember, I took a "cake decorating" class. What to move up to a "10"!

Rick thinks Chad has found his true calling as a gay cake decorator. Jackie says I'd like to see Rick accomplish that
