Our Baby Jeffey was born 11 years ago yesterday and, let me tell you, that was a crazy time!
Now he is all big and handsome and stuff. So for his big birthday celebration he had a sleepover with four of his cousins, they played the PS3 and stayed up late. In the morning they had donuts and chocolate milk and headed off to Flagstaff to play in the snow. The weather has been really cold lately and the snow is great up in Flag. Ryan took the boys and I stayed home with the rest of them. We had fun at home but a couple of the left behinds were mildly upset.
This is an old picture of the Bug but it gets the point across, I wasn't brave enough to photograph her yesterday to capture the sadness, but, yes, that is about how they were.
The boys had high adventure and good times. They didn't last very long with the sledding since it was 7 degrees out and they are wimpy AZ boys, but they had fun and got worn out so it was successful.
They came home to the cake I'd made. I totally thought of and made that cake all by myself and I am pretty proud of it. I rocked that cake hard. It is cake ball dinosaur eggs (Jeffey has historically asked for and gotten dinosaur/dragon cakes on his birthday) with a nest made of various things with melted chocolate and peanut butter holding it together (the nest was super yummy actually) and more cake ball "rocks" (or dinosaur poop as the boys said) around the bottom of the nest. I'm telling you, it was super cool and a big success.
The boys each had an egg then and there and the nest was re-filled for the New Years/Birthday party later on at Livingstone's. It was cool that they could have some of the cake and it didn't wreck it.
Upon interview the boy said that he had a great 11th birthday, he loved the snow, his presents and everything and he thought his cake was awesome. Hooray!

That cake was awesome. I can't believe you thought of it all by yourself. You are amazing. Phillip looks just like little Valerie in one of those pictures.
I'm sorry my son turned into a Coyote for the trip but I don't mind so much since it was just Ryan.
Jefferson's arrival into this world was an exciting event! :o He has always been a sweetheart. I'm glad his cousins are his best friends.
Spinosaurus eggs. So so amazing. You are awesome. And beautiful
Good job
sweet!!!! you are the best mom! that cake rocks. is it weird that I got emotional at that first picture of Jeffy Boy? And I laughed at the picture of Little Bug. I love you all very much. Please ask Ryan why he did not just drive 7 more hours to the S. Fark?
You earned 20 million cool mom points with that cake Al! You've got mad cake skills!
"Mildly upset" we have some of that at our house too:)
I forgot to post when I first read this! Great post, even better cake and creativity! You are amazing, we love that Jeffy. Lots of drama in your house with those girls, did we ever have any of that? Hmmm...........
