Please Mom, Shave my head!

Levi has been begging me to shave his head for summer, now that it is getting so warm outside (secretly I think he was just tired of wetting it down and combing it every morning! haha) So I took some before/after pictures.... (You know if Levi wanted his head shaved, little brother did too...so I had to do both of them last night after dinner/before bath time).

Levi's before photo's:

Ahh...it's he a cutie...so sweet.....



Yikes! then his crazy side shows up! haha



Here are Seth's before photos...he is crazy!



I finally got one normal one of him laughing...it took like 12 photos to get this though! haha







Here is the after! Seth was mad because he had gotten in trouble for something by his Daddy...so this is his disgruntled face! We actually see this face a lot! haha



Now he's over it, and giving his brother a BIG hug! :) Don't they look COOL for summer!

Weekend

Friday: I did an appraisal that morning, then Stephen went to school and had lunch with Levi, then I ran to the gym and to tan, then while I was working on my appraisal report, Stephen and the boys played outside. After all of this, we got cleaned up and went out to dinner. It was Divine! I got a taco salad (with shredded chicken, took the sour cream off, didn't eat the shell..and used salsa for the dressing). :) So I was good, BUT, the we went to the movies. The boys had to have popcorn, so I couldn't resist having some...since it's not like we go to the movies often, and at least I ran 2 miles that afternoon and lifted weights for 40 minutes....so I enjoyed eating a little bit of it. We watched "Nim's Island". I must say, I was SO IMPRESSED! It was GREAT!!!! We laughed so much eyes were watering. The boys loved it, and so did we. It was really, really good! I highly recommend it!!!! So after all of this laughing and fun, it was late and the Levi fell asleep before we even got out of town. We had to stop at walmart and get dog food and pool chemicals, so Seth and Daddy went in to get that, while I stayed in the van with a sleeping little boy. Then on the way home, they both fell asleep and me and Daddy had to carry them inside and put them in bed. It was a wonderful Friday!

Saturday: I did another appraisal that morning. While I was gone, Stephen's mom and sister came down to watch Levi play T-ball. I tried to get done and back in time, but I missed all but the last inning...they were done early, due to losing by run-rule. They lost something like 25-4. It was sad! haha But they had fun, and that's all that counts. Oh and Levi played Catcher. He didn't know what to do, but he had a blast. Especially with Granny and Aunt Michelle there to watch him. After the game we went to Dairy Queen to get some ice cream (this is his favorite after-game treat). I at least got a "small" when normally I would get a large...so that wasn't "as bad"....plus I was starving because I hadn't had time to get any lunch between doing my appraisal and then trying to get to the game. After we got home, we were all tired. After Granny and Aunt Michelle left, we came inside and Stephen fell asleep on the couch, so I started working on my report. Levi fell asleep on the couch to. So while he was sleeping, Stephen and Seth went to town to buy a few items Stephen needed for one of his projects..while they were there, they ran by the store and rented some movies. We watched Alvin and the Chipmunks, and then 27 Dresses! They were both really cute movies. (but Nim's Island was still my favorite!) While he was gone, I grilled chicken and made us some salad. Yum-Yum! :)

Sunday: Levi woke up sick. He had a sore throat that he was complaining about all day on Saturday, and also had a bad cough and couldn't breathe through his nose. So we didn't get to go to church. Since we weren't going to get to go, I worked on my appraisal reports. Next thing I know the boys are telling me to come outside and see a surprise. I was like "what?!" So I go outside and they had colored me some pictures, and set up a picnic outside in the shade. It was so sweet! Of course their Daddy had helped them, and had taken out our little folding table/chairs. They even put up balloons and streamers, and when I got out there, they boys started singing happy birthday to me! haha I said "it's not my birthday! haha" Stephen said "I know, they just wanted to sing and surprise you, and that was the only song they could think of! haha So we had a picnic outside. After our picnic, the boys laid down and watched Alvin again, and I sat in the sun relaxing/reading and soaking up some Vitamin D. :) Then I ran to the grocery store to stock us up for another week.

Monday: Levi didn't have school today, so we went to the library this morning. They got to pick out some books, and videos, and play for awhile. Then we came home and have been trying to find fun things to do for the rest of the day. They have watched cartoons, played computer games, played v-smile, played with the toys in their play room, and sat and looked at their new books. It's been a nice day. Seth has sure enjoyed having his brother at home today! :)

Relay Photos!

Our team captain, aka: my workout buddy, took the following pictures at the relay and was kind enough to share them with me.




here's another shot of our campsite:










And another...with some of my friends/team members....








that evening....if you look close, you can see my back, over on the left, behind the palm tree...with the short brownish/blonde hair.






our team members...I'm behind Kristi, the girl with the long dark hair...you can see my back and part of my profile. The girl looking at the camera is pregnant. She lasted all night too...I was SO PROUD of her!





Here is Mel, in the pie contest... The participants had to dig through the pie with their face, find the piece of gum and blow a bubble...whoever blew a bubble first won. She is such a good sport!

Relay

The Relay went GREAT! At last count, we raised over $50,000 for the fight against Cancer.

Our team captain got there early to start setting up, and as the rest of could get there, we helped. I got there around 5pm, and brought ice for our Palm Tree Coolers, to keep the drinks cold. We sold cokes, Monster Energy Drinks, little luau duckies, and glow necklaces. We also gave anyone who purchased, a free lea.

We had a schedule and were going to take turns walking, but we soon discovered that it was more fun to walk together, and talk while we walked (it made the time go by faster). We walked off/on (rotating out) from 7pm until around 5am. By then we were all worn out. We sent one of our members home, who was prego with Twins. By this time, we went over and got some breakfast (muffin), and then started cleaning up our campsite. We were all so exhausted, we were ready to have it all cleaned up and ready to go as soon as this was over. So we started cleaning up, and noticed other teams were already leaving. So instead of doing the closing ceremony at 6:30am, they ended up doing it at 5:30am. So we finished cleaning up, and left by 6am. I drove the 30 minute drive home, and was literally hitting myself in the face, hard, just to stay awake, and keep my eyes open. Luckily there wasn't any traffic out, but man, what a long drive home! Once I walked in the door, my hubby sent me to bed. I told him I needed to stay up, because Levi wanted me to go to his t-ball game, but he said Levi would understand that I needed to sleep. So I crawled in bed at 7am and slept until they got home from the t-ball game at 11:30am. I then got up. I was sore and exhausted. I pretty much just laid around and did nothing for the rest of the day. (hence the reason the boys were bringing me flowers to cheer me up..since they thought I must be sick since I wasn't my normal self). :) But it was so worth it! I would do it again in a heartbeat!



Here was our campsite. We won 1st place for most creative/decorated campsite! yea!!! This got us FREE registration for Next Year! :)



Our Team Name was H2O: Helping 2 Overcome. So we went with a "Water" theme, and did a luau. I think it turned out really cute!



On of the girls on our Team designed our T-shirts. She did a GREAT job! Here is a photo of the front. The back said "Celebrate. Remember. Fight Back."



I did this in Remembrance of my Papaw (my Mom's Daddy). He battled cancer long and hard, but wasn't able to overcome it. God decided to take him on home to heaven, and relieve his pain and suffering, back in July 2006. We all miss him, but I'm very blessed to know that he IS in heaven and I WILL see him again someday.

Flowers

Stephen was going to mow on Saturday, so the boys jumped in their John Deere Gator and drove around our back yard, picking flowers and filling up their bucket. It was over-flowing when they came inside with it. I filled two vases! They were so proud of themselves. Just look at those smiles! Seth told his Daddy, "we picked mommy flowers, and made her happy". It was so sweet. I was pretty much a zombie on Saturday, from being up all night, walking..so the boys thought I was sick or something, and were trying to cheer me up. Aren't they the sweetest!

Relay

I'm going to be doing a Relay all night tonight, to raise money for cancer research/education/etc. It should be fun, and I'm really looking forward to hanging out with my friends all night. They are all really fun, so I know we will have a good time. I'll let ya'll know how it goes.

MJ, you have just got to TRY Yoga at least once. I've tried "videos", but never liked them, because I felt like I did nothing but lay around and stretch. But this class was so much different that those tapes. I was breathing hard, my clothes were soaked with sweat, and my muscles were shaking like crazy! I was actually sore yesterday and today from it! I felt like I was working as hard, during that class, as when I am running. Yet it was relaxing at the same time...you've just got to try it! :)

Our boys are having fun helping Daddy build an extension on our shed. It is a covered parking area, on half of the concrete slab, for our tractor, lawn mowers, kids 4 wheeler, etc. He took off of work Tuesday and I helped him get the rafters/roof and half of the siding on it. We still have to put the shingles on, and finish the sides. But it is coming along nicely, and the boys love helping Daddy build, so they are in hog-heaven at the moment. :) I'll post some before/after photos soon..so ya'll can see.

Hubby will have the boys by himself tonight. Since I'll be at the Relay, he'll have to take them to the T-ball game tonight (if they have it, it just came a downpour) and then of course make them dinner, get them in bed etc. At least I'm married to a wonderful man who is capable of doing all of this, and I don't have to worry. I'm a lucky woman. :)

Yoga!

Last night I took my very first Yoga class. It was at my husband's work, so we did it together. Our boys sat quietly in the floor behind us, in the back of the room. They were so good, and I was so proud of them. Levi said "That looked hard!" haha We encouraged them to try it with us next time, but they didn't think that sounded like such a good idea! haha
It was GREAT though. I loved it! Plus seeing my handsome hubby trying to bend/move in those yoga poses was fun to! haha He is actually good at it though, not very flexible, but very strong and could hold the poses well. I was impressed.
While we were working out, my muscles were shaking, from head to toe. You wouldn't think it would be that intense, but it is. I was dripping with sweat, and my clothes were soaked by the time it was over. Today I am actually sore from it to! Wow! I'm thinking I really like this class...I was so relaxed afterwards, and I slept like a baby last night. I didn't want to get up when my alarm went off this morning, for me to go to the gym, but I dragged myself out of bed anyway..knowing I would feel better after I got there, and got started. :)

Levi's so funny...

We were eating dinner at the Old-fashioned hamburger place, and they had this old jukebox that people were putting money in and selecting music. It was mostly all country music playing. We are sitting here eating, and there is a song on, and we're not really paying attention...and in one part it said "I want to kiss her lips", and all the sudden Levi blurts out a giggle! it was hilarious. It got me and Stephen laughing...and then Levi is laughing and he said "kiss her on the lips?!" and the way he said it and the look on his face was like "why would anyone want to do something silly like that?!" haha
Animations - faces 003

Maybe you just had to be there, but it was hilarious. Just when you think they aren't even paying attention to the music, and then something gets them tickled, that we wouldn't even notice. It was funny!
We were crawling in bed last night, and got to laughing about it all over again. Just that little burst of a giggle.....I'm laughing again, just thinking about it! hahahaaaa

Wonderful Weekend!

This weekend was wonderful! We took the boys out to eat at a old-fashioned hamburger/soda fountain place on Friday. It was so good! Then we ran by the movie place on our way home, watched movies/ate popcorn that evening.

On Saturday Levi had a t-ball game. While we were there, the men came out and poured our concrete slab (by the shed. it's a large area, for working on/parking the tractor, etc., and to play basketball). We got home about the time they were finishing that up, and we started mowing. After we finally, almost, finished mowing, we had to get ready and go to a bowling tournament. Stephen had been asked to fill in, and we were just going with him to watch. However, when we got there, we found out that one of their women didn't show up. So they had me fill in for her. I warned them that I wasn't any good though, and they assured me that they weren't either, they were just there to have fun. So I played. It was so much fun! We got to play 3 games! None of us were great, except for Stephen who is always great at everything. (I'm telling you, it is hard being married to a perfectionist! haha Of course I was very proud of him!!!). While we were playing, there was an open lane over by us. Someone asked us if our boys would like to play, along with another little boy who was maybe 3. We said of course they would LOVE it, and the boys were all able to bowl 3 games also. They had a blast too!

Then we got up Sunday and went church. It was amazing! Our pastor is preaching a series about Chasing the Lion. It is so good! The first sermons have been about chasing the lions who seek to devour us, out of our lives, and overcoming our fears of failure. Then the final sermon is going to be about chasing the one True Lion, the LION OF JUDAH! Talk about a powerful series!

Oh, so then after church we came home and grilled some lunch. Then we played basketball on our new slab, with Levi. We all had so much fun. After this, Levi helped me plant some new flowers him and his Daddy had bought for me...then we played more basketball, and then I helped Stephen finish the mowing...and we played some more basketball! haha

Biggest Loser!!!!

Did you see the Biggest Loser Finale last night???!!!??!!!

I was SHOCKED!!!! I couldn't believe that Bernie won the $100,000 prize for the "at home contestants". He beat Mark by 1 POUND!!!! This has definitely been the "1 pound season". I was so happy for him!!!!! Yea Bernie!!!

Then...the big Finale....did you see it?! ALI won!!!! The FIRST FEMALE BIGGEST LOSER!!!! I was SOOOOOO Happy for her. She won the $250,000 grand prize, and looked so amazing!!!!

You know, what I love the most about this show. It isn't about the money. yea, that is a good motivator, but really, it is about helping these people "change their lives" to live a healthy, active lifestyle. To be able to have health insurance! To see their kids grow up, to have babies and carry them full term. It's all about showing these people how to "LIVE" life. It isn't about starving yourself, or "missing out" because you can't eat junk food with everyone else and you have to workout all the time. That isn't is at all! It is about fueling your body for your workouts, to make yourself strong, so that you can LIVE life to the fullest. To play with your kids, to be there to see your kids/grandkids grow up, etc. I just love how this show is helping transform lives, and educating people on the fact that it is possible to achieve all of your goals and dreams.

Seth singing/telling a story

I got a video of Seth singing his ABC's. It is so cute how he sings it. I had to get video of it so I can show it to him when he is older.

Here is Seth, telling me a story. :) He had been singing the song "BINGO" to me, so his story started out kind of like that song....He is so silly.

Levi's Flowers

Every day, Levi picks me flowers. He was very upset when we mowed! So he started going into the back pasture and picking them for me...or picking them at school, or at the baseball field. Pretty much everywhere he goes, he comes home with a handful of flowers for me. So of course, I adore them, and put them in a vase. He is always so proud of the flowers he brings me. I love this moment in time...I know it wont last forever, so I am just going to enjoy every second of it! :)


Thank you Levi! I love my flowers!!!! These are more precious to me than anything money could buy!

T-Ball

The busy world to T-ball has officially begun. Levi had his first game Saturday morning, then we went to a birthday party, then we spent the rest of the afternoon mowing. Oh, and I ran to the store to get some stuff to grill, and while I was out, I ran by the movie store. We watched "The BEE Movie" last night. It was really cute! We all enjoyed it.

Back to T-ball...sorry, got a little sidetracked there...we aren't sure what the score was on this first game. I'm thinking we may have lost..but I'm not sure. We have games every week through the end of May. Wow! We are going to be busy.

Thursday, April 03, 2008

We have been so busy for the past week. We spent most of last week/weekend getting things ready for a party I was going to be having on Sunday afternoon. (It is sad that it takes having party to get me motivated to get projects around the house done....but at least i got it done! haha) I got some deep "spring cleaning" done. Then I finally got the painting done on the outside of our house, around the porches. I also got the flowerbeds weeded and new flowers/bushes planted. Oh, and then we also had to go buy a new riding mower. Ours was a hand-me-down from Stephen's Daddy, and was about 17 years old. It was definitely on it's last and final leg, last summer. So we had to give in and get a new one. Then we were able to mow, and edge everything also.

On Sunday I had my Partylite party. I actually had 8 friends show up, and also got 3 outside orders! Yea!!! I was so excited! I ended up getting $363.15 worth of products for only $43.42! Wowsers!!! I can't wait to get it all in.

Oh, and then I got my second paycheck yesterday! Woo-Hoo!!!! Talk about excited!!!! I had told Ken that it almost seems wrong to get paid for working from home and enjoying the work so much. So he said we could test that theory and I could just work for Free! hahahha!!! He is hilarious! :p But seriously, this is the best job I've ever had! I'm loving it, and getting paid for doing something I enjoy! :) Yea!!!!
My paycheck came at a good time to...when I got up yesterday to go to the gym, I discovered that my coffee maker had only made 1/2 a pot before it died. Talk about heartbroken! :( It just kept gurgling/sputtering and wouldn't make any more coffee. So I turned it off and tried to mess with it later to see if I could get it working, but it was hopeless. So Stephen stopped by walmart last night and got me a new "Coffee Station"! I love it!!!!! No more carafe to mess with, and no more scorched coffee. yea!!! So I totally enjoyed waking up to warm, yummy coffee this morning. Woo-Hoo!!!

Easter Sunday

We took some pictures before heading off to church. My Dad was already at the church though...

Here are the boys, all dressed up for Easter Sunday. Aren't they cute! :)




Our little family....




I had asked Stephen to take a picture of me and Mom together, and of course the boys jumped in there also! haha :) They love having their picture taken.




So then Stephen had them move, so he could get one of just me and my Mommy. :)

Easter-Egg Hunt

Attendance was really down this Easter, for some odd reason. Normally there are tons of people and kids. So because of the normally larger crowd, they had hidden over 400 eggs...then less than a dozen kids got to find them all! Talk about excited kids! haha They were filling up their baskets and then dumping them out into plastic sacks, and filling them up again. Needless to say, we have way to much Easter candy! haha

And their Off! haha
Seth had this whole side all to himself for the longest time....

Finally Levi joined him over here, and Seth really got into hunting eggs then.

Levi was having a blast finding eggs!

Nana had to help Seth. His basket was full but he didn't want to un-load it..so he filled up her plastic sack instead! haha
Check out those bags FULL of eggs! Wow!
Is this one excited little boy or what?! :)


Saturday before Easter Fun!

The weekend of Easter we went to visit my parents. On that Saturday we took the boys to an Easter Egg hunt up at the Courthouse. They had a blast!
The boys were in two different age groups, on opposite sides of the building. So Stephen had my camera and took pictures of Levi hunting eggs, while Mom and I were with Seth and she took pictures of him with her camera.




After all of the Egg-hunting fun, we took the boys over to a Putt Putt place. We all had so much fun! I haven't done that in forever! Here are a few pictures...Levi was trying to play real golf at first I think. haha But then we reminded him to hit it softer and he did really good after that.




After all of this, we went inside and played games. The boys had over 1000 tickets I think, and got some really good stuff! This place wasn't chinchy like a lot of them are. They got a board game: Spinning Tops, 2 airplane/gun things, some army men, some candy, etc.

Busy, Busy, Busy

I was able to go on 3 appraisals this past weekend. It was so much fun, and I learned so much! I am totally loving this career. It is right up my alley. I get to play with numbers (sorry, my Mom is a CPA and loving numbers runs in my blood! haha), and I get to work mostly from home. It is the perfect fit for me (no office drama! woo-hoo!!!). I have now done my first 4 reports also, and though that haven't been "perfect" yet, I'm learning, and it is getting easier with each one. :)
Can you tell how much I am loving this?!?!
Oh, and I got my first paycheck Monday! I was ecstatic!!!! Well, until my Mom gave me a blow with the ole' Tax Hammer! haha She reminded me that I have to take out 30% for my taxes...that was a major bummer. haha But as Stephen said "Welcome back to the real working world!" haha
So life is going well. Staying busy, busy. Levi is in T-Ball now, and we have practice twice a week. Thankfully we are on Spring Break this week, so we get a little bit of a break.
Today we went to the park to play with friends, to burn up some of the boys energy. It rained all day yesterday, so we HAD to get out of the house today. :)
Tomorrow we are going to my parents house to visit for Easter. The boys are very excited about seeing Nana and Papa, and going to Papa's church.
Well, I better get. I still need to finish the laundry and pack. Just wanted ya'll to know we are still here, and doin fine. :)

Thursday, March 13, 2008

Here is a video of Levi in his first musical at school. His grade was singing Rainbows Rock, while playing blow-up guitars. He is in the back, in the stripped shirt. I thought he did a great job! He is usually so bashful I was afraid he wouldn't do anything at all, in front of all of those people. But he did really good!

Appraisal Work

Saturday I got to go measure my first house! It was so amazing. I loved every minute of it. Ken observed, and showed me a lot of tricks for finding things to hook my tape on to, and also how to do angles and upstairs and stuff. I really learned a lot!

On Monday he faxed everything to me, and we trained over the phone/Internet on how to do reports. Then I was allowed to try to do the report on the house I measured. :) that was very interesting! haha

On Tuesday he called me and we went over my report, and he showed me the things that I did right, and a few things I could have done differently. After this, he helped me learn how to do my Sales Comparison and Cost Approaches, and how to finish the report. He is a really awesome teacher and makes everything very easy to learn. I think I am really going to love this new career!

Oh and I get to go measure more houses tomorrow! I'm so excited!!!! :)

Bad Word!

Ok, so I knew this day would eventually come...where the boys decide to repeat something they shouldn't......
We are sitting here Tuesday night, watching Biggest Loser. The boys are in the kitchen, eating ice cream, while we are glued to the TV (until commercials hit, and then we jump up and finish cleaning the kitchen up after dinner! haha).
So here we are watching...and they are doing a weigh in and Bernie says "Damn It". Stephen says "Bad Word!" (we always say this when we hear something on TV that we don't want the boys to repeat...this way they know what they can and can't say). So right after this finishes coming out of his mouth, you hear our sweet almost 4 year old say "Damn It!" just like Bernie did, and clear as a bell! YIKES! I mean the kid can't even say "Levi" clearly, he says Weevi...so how can he say this clear as a bell? It wasn't like you could mis-interpret what he said, anyone within hearing distance would have known EXACTLY what he said!
So here I am, shocked and trying not to laugh all at the same time...so luckily Stephen speaks up quickly and said "No Sir! We do not say that, that is a Bad word! Do you understand?" Then I finally found my voice and said "Seth, you don't hear Mommy and Daddy say that, so you don't say it either."
I still cant' quit thinking about it, and I hear his sweet little voice saying it over and over in my head...I just hope he has forgotten it, and doesn't decide to spout it out again...while at church, or at Nana and Papa's church, or school, in the store, or anything. Lord, I would be horrified!!!!! ha-ha
Just another one of the joys of young children! haha :)

Snow? in March!

This is what we woke up to this morning....Snow! In March! This is just crazy! We had 70 degree weather over the weekend, and snow today. It's just crazy. Of course we didn't get as much as those north of us did.


Levi was so excited last night when he went to bed, because it had just started snowing. So he woke up early this morning, and ran straight for the window. You should have seen the huge smile on his face! He begged to go out and play in it...and since we are supposed to be in the upper 50's today, we let him.
Him and Seth went out on the front porch and played in the snow, for about 5-10 minutes maybe. Then they were freezing, and came inside begging for hot chocolate! haha

Seth, outside in the snow...before the sun melts it all away....



Levi was so disappointed that he had to go to school today. He was wanting to stay home so he could enjoy the snow before it all melts away.

Seth's 4th Birthday Party

Here is our birthday boy....He is being "superman". We were dragging out the decorations, and he found the superman masks. He was having a blast! haha



Stephen sat up our bouncehouse for the boys to play in, while waiting on everyone to show up. Then Mom and I went to town to pick up the pizza's for lunch.





Here is our big boy! I can't believe he is going to be 4 years old!



Opening presents...with brother's help of course.
He got TONS of presents.



Opening more presents....they were loving this! :)


Seth is showing Uncle Chris (my brother) his new Superman action figure.


Seth has just finished opening all of the presents....he is looking exhausted! :)


But then we took him outside and showed him his big present from Granny and Papaw....he woke right up! :)


Seth and his cousin Samantha, playing in the bouncehouse.


My Daddy and my brother, sitting in the swing, enjoying the beautiful weather! It was in the mid 70's and beautiful outside!



At the end of the day, Levi crashed on the ottoman. He was exhausted, and still not feeling 100%...he had missed 3 days of school, because he had been sick...guess he wasn't totally over it yet.

Superman Birthday Cake

Saturday we celebrated Seth's 4th Birthday with our families. I didn't want to do the same ole' Superman cake from walmart, like we did last year. So I e-mailed a friend of mine, Riquel, who I knew went through some cake decorating classes. She has always wanted to open her own catering company, and she is an amazing cook! So I was really hoping that she would be willing to make some sort of Superman birthday cake for me. ***Plus she has been a huge blessing to my pampered chef business, so this was a way for me to return the favor! :)

When I told her I wanted a strawberry flavored superman cake, I never expected something this extravagant. This is AMAZING! Talk about artistic talent. I can't even draw superman on paper, much less with icing, on a cake! I was blown away! Also, notice his belt says "Seth". The birthday boy loved this! He was so excited!



Here he is blowing out his candle. He only wanted 1 candle. So that is what daddy gave him. (I think he didn't want to mess up his superman! haha)




Here he is, still staring at his beautiful cake!


Finally he let me cut it, so he could eat a piece. He was so excited when I pulled the first piece out, and he saw the strawberry flavored cake inside. (this is his favorite kind of cake!)



He was the first person to test it out. He never stopped to say a word, so we assumed it was a big hit, and all dug into it ourselves! :) It was very yummy!
Thank you Riquel!!!!!!!! :)
We all loved the cake! I'll be calling you again in August, to make Levi's birthday cake....if your interested. :)
