This Birthday takes the cake!

Well, I have to go through 224 pictures before I can post something on Ty and Brooke's birthday so I decided to post the cake pictures in the mean time. The party was great and the cakes turned out cute. It was way more of a feat than I should have tried to take on so parts of the cake are missing or as I like to say "jacked."
Considering I had to plan the party, shop, prepare food for 87 people, clean the house and bake and decorate all the cakes, I did well. The top layer of Ty's is jacked up because I literally through it together moments before and Brooke's is missing the whole bottom layer which we still served. All in all, I'm satisfied but won't bite off so much next time.

Brooke's princess cake; pillow and roses are completely edible.

Ty's cowboy cake; completely edible with the exception of the candle

Ty's personal cake; we peeled the fondant off once we sang.

My first haircut!

This week will be a week of firsts for little Ty Daniel. His first bottle of Toddler Formula (much prefers nursing still), his first birthday will be this Saturday and today was his first haircut!

I really hemmed and hawed over whether or not to get his hair cut for his first birthday. One day I was certain it needed to be done and then the next day I was adamant that he needed to look like a baby as long as possible. Well... the truth is, it looked really bad and well, he can't be a baby forever so in he went. Ty could not take his eyes off of Jamie, it was so funny. He did really well and got a lot of cooing from the other stylists and all and all it was worth it, he looks very handsome now and ready for his party on Saturday!
