Happy Birthday Jordan

Jordan and I both took a shot at making a Rubiks Cube cake

Happy Birthday Jordan!!!!

You are now officially a teenager!

Sound the alarm we have a teenager in the house! Jordan had a wonderful birthday even though we were all either getting over or still had a nasty summer flu. Since we usually have a party the boys have gotten use to having a pyramid of ice cream sandwiches as the "cake" but this year he wanted to make his own. It took us weeks to decide between lego or rubiks cube. It didn't help that we had been spending many nights watching "Cake Boss" which is a TV show all about making elaborate, detailed, extraordinary cakes. We finally decided on Rubiks Cube but had no idea how to begin. Since I was so sick that left me with zero energy to come up with something creative. Luckily, Jordan didn't mind at all and even thought of it as fun and a challenge to create part of his cake. He spent a good part of the morning designing it. The boys spent most of the day swimming since we got him a snorkel set as a present. After decorating cakes, presents, and swimming we went to John's Incredible Pizza Co. for games, prizes and of course pizza. He had such a great day but we still promised to take him to Corvette Diner when we were all well. It wasn't exactly what we had planned for his "BIG 13" but a flu can strike at any time and we are so glad that he ended up having an awesome day!
