D's Day

I've been lagging on getting pictures up from Davyn's birthday.  He has pretty much been sick since then.  And Aidan joined the sickness last night.   Tag team.  We're doomed to have a child sleeping on the chaise in our room  fooooooreeeeeeeever. 

Here he is...the big, bad 3-year-old at birthday breakfast last Friday.

I offered to make Mickey Mouse pancakes, but the boy insisted on eggs.  What kind of child readily makes that exchange?!

D was thrilled with his cake.

Cyndee came over and piped Mickey Mouse for me. She is crazy talented  at drawing in any medium.  She just grabbed the icing bags, started piping, and 15 minutes later we had Mickey.  I'm more of a cake sculptor so her easy-breezy (15 minutes!!) artistic abilities leave me in awe.

true D-lighted love.

I LOVE this.  My boys with 5 grandmas (3 great's!) and 2 grandpas. 

Thank you all for helping us celebrate our D!

Yea I've been waiting to see the cake! I love it and I'm sure Jake and Abby would be in heaven if I ever made something like that. (it will be in heaven where I will be as talented as you and your Mom!!) Sorry we missed the party. D is such a cutie!

How lucky is your family to have that many grandparents all celebrate with you. And little kids with puppies is just priceless. I am once again inspired by seeing a cake on your blog. Such talent to both you and Cyndee

[Jill]

That amazing to have a photo with so many grandparents in it, wow!

The cake turned out so great, it looks like it was done by a professional.

[mandy]

that is a great cake! You and Cyndee are quite talented.

I love the picture of D and the puppy!

Thanks for the birthday photos--what a cute, big 3-year-old! What a treat to have family come celebrate and share your beautiful cake. (I think I need to get real cake pans sometime in my life--and trim my cakes even.)

I love the cake!! I'm with you. I finally changed my name on my drivers lisence just before we moved so Adam and I had been married about 5 years also. I wish it would have been easy as 15 minutes online, but it isn't. You have to go to the DMV with your marriage license. Good Luck.

That cake is great. It looks like he had a fabulous 3rd birthday. I love the picture with the puppy's tongue and Davyn's face! And how special that he gets to know so many grandparents.

Wow...I guess the best gift you gave D was good genes...look at all that long life! The cake is beautiful, of course, and Cyndee is a serious frosting genius. He looks like he had a very happy birthday.

Sorry about the sick kids. There are some winters I see my pediatrician more than I see David.

Amy,
I've been waiting for the cake picture! I think I might just be your biggest fan when it comes to your cakes. I still can't thank you enough for sharing your skills with me on Evan's first birthday! Davyn looks like he had a great birthday.
I understand about the forever sick family, we're encountering the same problem. Thankfully I think we're all starting to feel better, if there is anything I can do let me know,
Once again, Cyndee is amazing... from Talin's Cliford cake to Davyn's Mickey cake she can do it all!

sounds like a fun day - I would have voted eggs too! And what an awesome picture with all you grandmas and grandpas - that is truely special.

[Megan]

The birthday bash looks like fun. The dog is pretty cute too, I think you should have surprised him with his own birthday dog, you know you want to!
Can't believe he's three! Isn't it nice to be emerging out of the toddler stage? Miss you guys!

[Barb]

Happy Birthday, D! If he's a Mickey Mouse fan does that mean there is a future trip to Disneyland for him?
I hope you have your room to yourself soon, but a chaise in the master bedroom that can double as a sick bed is brilliant!

[Mandi]

Cute birthday boy! The girls were so excited for it. Gotta love that boy. I think Marty was the favorite guest of all the children - that poor dog sure got his exercise running from our four littles! And the cake not only looked great, but tasted great also!

[Marie]

That picture with all the generations is awesome! When Carter was born we gave him the middle name of Ray. We have a picture of Carter Ray with his Dad, Dirk Ray, his Grandpa Lynn Ray, and his Great Grandpa Ray the first. I love that photo.

That cake looks great. And huge! What was it 4 layers?

[carlo]

wow, that grandparent picture is AMAZING! what a gift that is

love the MM cake. Ellie loved it

hope the boys are better soon

[Nina]

I agree with Meg how come D did NOT get a birthday puppy that one was pretty cute... As for Cynthia's creative talent just wish I had a little of it....

15 minutes? I know who I will be calling for birthdays :)

The cake is amazing. Not only the Mickey, but it's so perfectly tall and straight. You have such skills.

I love the picture with all the greats. What a gift.
