Birthday!

Thirty-three years ago I emerged from my mothers loins! Gross right? 

Well in celebration of my birthday I ditched 3 of my 4 classes. Maybe not the brightest idea but hey, it's my birthday.

  

My Awesome Hubby Got me this cupcake!

I make better cake, but the mocha frosting was outstanding!

Anyhoo, March has been a good month. 

I've been invited to take honors classes at the community college and that will enable me to take honors classes at UNM in the fall. 

My Boys report cards were awesome! 

Grandma is still alive. 

My husband is hilarious as ever.

The weather is warm enough to go for lovely walks.

I've been super productive with my jewelry making! I made some super cute post earrings this weekend. 

I made molds of vintage buttons to make these. I like the way they came out. What do you think?

Birthday Cake

I made a cake for my mother in law.

It was her birthday.

It was a delicious cake.

I got the recipe HERE

I"m not saying how many candles were lit.

But it looked like a forest fire.

Generosity

Chad. the child I deprived of cake.

My generous Father and David

I came to a realization this last week that I'm not as generous as my father. When I was small my dad had to make business trips every other week. The man would save his airplane peanuts for my brother Matt and I. That means he saved his snacks from both his departing and returning flights. Anytime he flew we got honey roasted Delta peanuts on his return. So last week we had a lot of cake. My mother in law brought a half sheet chocolate Cost-co cake for my sons birthday. David was so excited! It had a skate border on it and he Kept exclaiming, "How did you know I wanted this cake??" Fast forward a week later. We are down to our last chunk of cake. Mike and I put the boys to bed, and I get out the cake. Mike tells me he was saving it for our oldest boy Chad. I tell him that we are eating it and if Chad asks about it the next day he can just give him some of the left over ice cream. After a little more convincing, Mike and I sit and eat the last of the cake. So I convinced my husband that we should eat the last of the cake instead of saving it for our child. It's not like I needed the cake. Chad had Ice cream the next day, and had totally forgotten there was cake waiting for him. He did have cake all week long. How bad should I feel?

Birthday

My David is 5 today!!!!! I can hardly believe it. Every parent says that, and they are correct. If you really want to watch life pass in the blink of an eye, have kids. He still has great cheeks! I never get tired of kissing them. Speaking of Birthdays, my brother Matt turned 30 two weeks ago. I'm older by 10 1/2 months. So we're both 30 until March 28th. Then I'm 31. (Just in case you couldn't do the math yourself.) We thought this was awesome when we were small. We would run around telling everyone we were twins. Then my mom would have to explain that we were, in fact, twins of the Irish variety. She said It used to embarrass her, but she got over it. Off to make cake!
