Jake's birthday party and Bicho meets a mouse

Yesterday we went to Chuck E. Cheese to celebrate Jake's birthday (Megan's stepson). Bicho had so much fun (as you can tell). She loved Chuck E. until he came near her.  Then she made a beeline straight for me and dug her head into my shoulder until he left. Yes, I guess in reality a human size mouse would be pretty scary.

(Or maybe it was the face I was making in this photo that scared her. It scares me!)

 

(Please disregard the complete and utter chaos on my kitchen counter. I would like to say it was because I spent all morning cooking, but that would be fibbing...)

I found a recipe for a rainbow cake and begged my sister to let me do it for Jake's birthday. I didn't get a picture of the inside of the cake, but it looked pretty much like this...

It was super yummy and most of all, fun to eat! Making the cake was SO easy, but very time consuming. Someone please have a birthday soon so I can make it again!

(If you want an awesomely yummy cake made for any occasion, check this girl out!)

Happy 6th Birthday, Jake!!!

Signing "All done"

So I guess I didn't take as many pictures as I had thought of our family birthday celebration for Bicho. Since GiGi Morris has not been feeling well, we decided to bring the party to her! We had lots of fun, lots of food (including the one and only break-the-bank macaroni salad!) and lots of laughs. One thing missing. Lots of pictures. I will repent, I swear.

It's My Party and I'll Cry If I want to...

Nothing like a summer birthday party to beat the summer blues. We had a great time with the Lee family celebrating Kaitlin and Morgan's birthday. Terbear volunteered to be the "head cook" at the BBQ. We probably should have ditched the BBQ and cooked the hamburgers on the asphalt - it was a whopping 114 degrees outside. Pobresito! But Terbear cooks a mean BBQ, so it was worth it in the end! Thanks Lee family for the fun time! :)
