Paw Patrol Birthday


This kid is 4! Holy Moly. Where has the time gone? He is so full of life, energy, and laughter.  He is so smart and way ahead of the game on everything.  But he is stubborn, emotional, a passionate about what he wants to do.  We love this little man!















Of course we had a Paw Patrol birthday party!
I had so much making this cake (as always) ! It was super delicious with a chocolate bottom layer and a lemon blueberry top layer. I always make a little extra so the layers are a little taller.

I used This cake recipe but skipped the fancy vanilla box mix and used a regular one.

I also used a new buttercream recipe that uses butter AND shortening and it was fabulous! It piped great and went on smooth! Also tasted GREAT!



 

I also bought this cutter to make the paw patrol shield out of marshmallow fondant (homemade and delicious as well)
HUGE chase from Amazon
We had fetch sticks, bones (watermelon), and dog food (recess cereal)

Made these fun badges for the kiddos!
Toilet water




We had so much fun with the slip and slide and with all of his friends!

Jackson is... 2???

How did that happen?! 2 years ago today we got to finally go home after his open heart surgery after being born, which you can read about  RIGHT HERE What a fun little man we have on our hands.  He runs around all day.  Loves anything to do with balls, cars, and trains.  Typical boy.  He talks in full sentences, sleeps in a big boy bed, and we will soon start potty training! He also sings songs the ABCs and many songs he has learned at church.  So cute to listen. Thank you Lucie for the adorable pictures!   For his birthday I really wanted to do something low key and not too much work.  Of course that doesn't apply to the cake, the most fun part! We took what Jackson loved and made a party out of it. A ball party.  We had it in our backyard, invited a few of his friends (also my nieces and nephew were in town!) and played with big and small balls, all sports balls, and bubbles (ball shaped).

Metopic Craniosynostosis

Updated Pictures of my handsome 4 year old! The most noticeable part is the scars is above his ears on either side. This spreading of the scar doesn't always happen but he seemed to have a lot of swelling after surgery in this area which stretched out the scars. The scares are most noticeable after a hair cut (which is during this). You can kind of see in this picture his squiggle scar that goes across his head from ear to ear. It's not super noticeable. I often get asked about Jackson's scar on his head.  Although his hair has grown A LOT since his surgery, it is still pretty obvious I think.  People are so funny about it though.  We usually get double takes or triple takes and only some people are bold enough to ask. WHICH IS FINE!  I don't know why people are so scared to ask.  Maybe because they think they will offend me? I don't know.  But some do ask and I reply he had Metopic Craniosynostosis. Metopic cranio whata wha?...

Here comes baby #2

FINALLY glad I can tell everyone! We are expecting our 2nd baby around the end of August 2014.  Still no idea what gender, but I do have a hunch. Here is the cute little video announcement I made on iMovie. I am also very glad to announce it so I can stop trying to hid it.  My belly seriously popped out a week after I found out (4 weeks).  People were starting to get suspicious, especially at church.  Every Sunday I would try on 10 different outfits, trying to find one that didn't show that little pooch sticking out! The pregnancy has been SO different than Jackson.  With him, I found out at about 6 weeks.  I got one really big migraine (and couldn't take anything) and then after that I had NONE until about half way through nursing (6 months old) they started to come back. But they were only headaches.  Since I have been pregnant I have had them TOO often.  Sometimes every other day for a couple of days, and some lasting multiple days. ...
