Happy Birthday Dad!

Happy Birthday Greg!  The kids are on Fall Break yesterday and today, but they got up early this morning to bake a cake for their daddy's birthday!

ready to bake

 1st the cake mix

 Cooper added the eggs

 time to mix the batter

 Reagan helped to grease the pan

 sweet kids

Happy Birthday, Dad!

Finally, it's time to ice the cake

 the finished product - the kids decided not to put icing around the sides

 Reagan wanted to put sprinkles on the cake...stars because "daddy is our star!"

 Dinner's done - time to eat cake

yum!

 the kids were so proud of the "party" they put together!

Happy, Happy Birthday to Me!

Today is my 41st birthday!!  I was lucky enough to get to spend yesterday with my sister (whose birthday was last Sunday).  We got massages & pedicures, and then had dinner with our husbands (the guys played golf while we were being pampered).  

the only picture of the spa day

 Red Velvet cake - my favorite - Greg really knows me!

 we cut into the cake on Saturday, but the kids wanted to sing Happy Birthday today!

 Cooper is the official birthday singer!

Birthday and Bugs

This week, my work celebrated September birthdays...and I just happen to have one!

our cake!

Reagan caught a Preying Mantis earlier in the week, so we've been on the look-out for moths to feed it.  I caught one last night and it didn't take the mantis long to devour it!

Name

Reagan got this necklace for her birthday from mamaw and papaw.  

she loves that it's in cursive, because she can read it!

Reagan's 9th Birthday

Can't believe she's already 9 years old.  Seems like yesterday we were bringing her home from the hospital!  Here's a look into Reagan's day...

we started off the morning by singing "Happy Birthday"

she requested a biscuit from Bojangle's

 a little window art for the occasion

 Cooper wanted his picture made too (with a Pokemon card)

 Sweet 9 year old!

 Reagan chose the Cheesecake Factory for her birthday dinner

 we were all there to celebrate

 the best part...cheesecake

 the staff sang to her

 she chose Dulce de Leche Cheesecake

 she enjoyed it very much

 after dinner, she had a gift waiting for her in the mail

 a necklace from Mamaw & Papaw

 and a handmade scarf from Keira

Happy Birthday, Reagan!  We love you with all our hearts!
