One Dozen....

One Dozen. Not a big number, really. Not incredibly special in and of itself. A Dozen Eggs. A Dozen Bagels. My personal favorite... a Dozen Roses (red, of course). We all know that things are Cheaper by the Dozen, sometimes even a Dime a Dozen. We've got The Dirty Dozen and a Baker's Dozen, which really isn't a dozen at all, but 13.

My first born baby boy is One Dozen Years Old.

William, I am so proud of you and all that you have accomplished and the person you are and are still becoming. I puffy heart you with sprinkles on top ;).

On William's birthday, we started out the day by making...









Later in the afternoon, we braved the freezing rain and went to Dave & Busters (for those of you that are not familiar with D&B's it's kind of like Chuck E. Cheese's on steroids with good food, a bar, and you can actually redeem those prize tickets for GOOD stuff rather than pure junk). In our family it is reserved for birthdays and special occasions because we drop a small fortune every time we go. Fun was had by all, and Madison donated her tickets to William as a birthday gift, that's my girl!

William also had a party with some friends. They did rather well, spent the evening playing rock band and eating, they were a hoot to watch!











Happy Birthday, William!!!!

Caden got a HUMMER for his Birthday!!!

Yesterday was Caden's 2nd birthday AND the first day of school, and we had a good day. He had his 2 year visit yesterday (along with a burn check, everything's good!). He's 29 lbs, 1 oz, and 38 1/4 inches long. Tall boy! I was looking at baby pictures of him and he doesn't even look like the same kiddo, he's so tall and lean now!

We had a small party for him last night (just our family). Daddy surprised him with a hummer ride on toy, he LOVES IT! He screamed and cried when we finally dragged him away from it to have his birthday cake. I made him a jello poke cake and that was a hit too (once he got over being pulled from his truck).

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CADEN!!!
