Days 55-56: Auden's Birthday, Cakes, And Wiffle Ball Season!

Days 55-56:  Happy Birthday Audy Bear!  On April 8th, Auden turned 8 years old!  Yes, she believes she's old enough to do just about everything now, yet she's still the cutest, sweetest, tiniest, beautiful, charming, dark haired, dark eyed little princess! You came in to my life when you were six years old and in less than two years you have grown so much in every single way.  What happened!?  Before we know it, you'll be in middle school, then high school, then.......college!?  Ok, enough of that, it's making my heart hurt!  Happy Birthday Auden! Although you don't quite know it or realize it yet, you have been a MAJOR part of my journey to quit dip and I'll never be able to thank you enough.  Hopefully someday you'll look back at this blog and pat yourself on the back because you helped me so much at such a young age.  Again, thank you Auden and happy birthday!

Speaking of Birthdays, Stacy has been making a cake for someone and guess what?  I am helping!  Well, sort of lol.  She's teaching me VERY slowly and she's watching me very carefully.  Hell, I would to!  It's her reputation on the line!  So far she's been a great coach and very patient.  For that I'm very thankful!  See the photo just below?  Yeah, that's right, I made the yellow ones...Ok fine, I rolled the fondant and cut out the yellow stars and she did the rest.  Hey, I'm still helping! Oh wait, I did make some of the fondant as well!  No, you can't have he recipe, she'd kill me!  Seriously, I'd be dead...I'd die.  I'd be killed.

And while we are still on the topic of birthday's, today Auden chose where she wanted to go for her birthday dinner.  Any guesses?  No, not a steak house, not a pizza place, not even McDonald's.  She picked Subway!  That's fine by me.  I love Subway, Stacy and Beckett do as well.  All four of us ate very well and then we walked it off at Walmart while Auden chose some Birthday gifts, besides the birthday gifts she already received.  I think overall, Auden had a pretty good 8th birthday!

Now it's on to the weather!  The weather is fantastic, at least for now.  I'm sure we'll have a few chilly days in the near future but I have a feeling Spring is actually arriving!  Hello wiffle ball season, grilling season, and outside season!  Let's do this!  Oh and for Stacy, flip flop season! I can't wait to pick the kids up at the bus stop.  It's an awesome day out so I expect us to be outside the moment they finish their homework  I gotta pump up some bike tires and get the lawn mower ready.  I'll be mowing very soon!
