Birthdays Part 2

Two weeks after Rachel's birthday party, we were having another one - Jenna turned 9. I can't believe it! I remember when I first met Kasey - Jenna seemed so little. Now she's almost in double digits!



We got her a bean bag chair for her birthday. Except for the part where it was too small, I think she liked it a lot! We have to send it back for another one, which has been a nightmare in and of itself, but that is a story for another day!

Luckily Jenna's expectations for her cakes have remained low!! She actually saw a cake in an advertisement and said that's what she wanted - luckily it was one I thought I could copy. Also luckily for me, Jenna's birthday is always near Easter time so there are a few fun things out to decorate cakes with.

Happy Birthday Jenna. You are turning in beautiful young girl! I'm proud to be your step-mom!!

Birthdays

I decided to forget about talking about Christmas (it was a good one!) and to just catch up where we are now...sort of. One day I'll be better about keeping this updated, but I guess that day is not today, and probably not tomorrow either!!

Rachel turned 2 at the end of March, and we decided to take her to Chuck E Cheese for her birthday. To say that she LOVED it would be a gross understatement! She loved the rides, couldn't have cared less about the pizza, and was mesmerized by the puppet show for about 5 minutes! It was a lot of fun to watch her.









We went home to open her presents, and she really couldn't have cared less about them. It was disappointing for me as a mom, but I guess she was alright with it! The only thing she got really excited about was her new BYU shirt. As soon as she saw it she put it right on before she would open any other presents.








Then we had cake. I had wanted to do a flower cake, but couldn't find any flowers I liked, and since I'm not a cake decorator, I had to go to Plan B, which was the ever popular Princess cake. Hopefully she will continue to have low expectations for her cakes as she gets older!!









All in all it was a great day, and I can't believe my little girl is two already! It doesn't seem like she should be that old. She is a sweet, kind, loving, beautiful little girl, and I'm so glad I'm her Mom!
