Cole's 39th Birthday

My man has turned 39! For some reason I felt this birthday I should do very domestic projects. The first was to make him a "101 things I love about you" collage. Donelle forced me, I mean helped me start it. It did come out great and Cole really appreciated it. I have no pictures but will blog it soon. The second was his cake. We watch "Ace of Cakes" on the food channel and love the cakes. I decided he had to have a great cake. Fondant is not my friend, but I tried anyway. I think it looked good for a first try and it tasted great.

  Drum roll please... the cake!

  Please ignore the mess.

Texas again

Donelle and her kiddos came to Arizona for a few weeks. When it was time to head home, I volunteered to help drive them back. I didn't think she should drive with 4 kids by herself and it gave me a prefect opportunity to see Texas again. We had a great trip and Kira kept me on my toes with her throwing up a few times. The kids where great and Donelle got pulled over only once. We got off with a warning.

Donelle and I at my new favorite deli in Dallas.
 

Randy and I in front of the JFK museum. We loved looking through all that history. We were also glad that Donelle came with us even thought she thought she would be bored to tears.
 


Randy and Brooklyn outside a friends home. They have 2 acres and Randy, the kids and I loved exploring them. Then 2 days later came the fact that chiggers had eaten us alive. Randy has over 40. I only got 22. I still have then, big as dimes. Chiggers Suck!!
