Yummy!

Cupcakes just make me smile! There is something about them that just says LOVE. Another thing is that they are so small you can eat more than one and it ends up to be about the size of a piece of cake! What more could you ask for? My friend, Amanda, is on a quest to eat a ton of junk food before she turns 40 next week and her metabolism changes. So I thought I would help her out with these oh so cute little cupcakes! 

On a totally different note, Bentley has been loving him some frisbee. It has been way to hot for him to run, but we caught a few pics of him last week. He is crazy in love with his frisbee and he is pretty good at catching it. He did unfortunately have an accident recently when he ran into Camden's bike while he was running for the frisbee. He cut his leg and it didn't look good but he was ok. Thank goodness!

Random Camden

 "Is Santa Claus real or is it you, Mommy?" Oh, I might cry!

After Camden had a shower one night, I heard him ask Daddy, "Who invented the bath?" 

Camden was determined to never go back to daycare because someone called him a "Crack Head". Oh my!

"Mommy, is Rock, Paper, Scissors an evil game?" Ummm, not that I know of! 

Camden gets to go to the YMCA once a week with his daycare. He asked me, "Mommy want to smell my towel? If you smell it you will know what the men's locker room at the Y smells like!" Really, NO thanks!

Camden told me that you can start a car without a key. I told him that I did not know that. He said, "It's easy! It's called hot wiring!" I can't imagine where he is learning this stuff. I hope he doesn't ever put that one to use!

Let's Talk About Food

Yes, this is Chicken Nuggets! If it were not for these processed disgusting little bites, my child would have blown away by now. He has lived off of Nuggets for the last eight years. He will cry if he doesn't get them on a regular basis (like every day). Hmmm, maybe we should have bought stock in these! Anyway, Daddy got fancy when he made these for Camden's lunch one day. He is trying to out shine Mommy!

I made Tim my homemade Lasagna a few weeks ago. This is his favorite meal of all time and I only make it once a year! Ha! He loves this and nothing else, just Lasagna and bread. We ate until we were in pain, but it was so worth it!


Also, I have to do a special shout out to our new best friend, Blair! Since we have been banned from the internet at work, Blair has been hooking us girls up with our daily blog read! You just never know how devastating it is when you can't get on the internet until it happens to you. I was just getting ready to throw myself into oncoming traffic! (Just kidding!) Next thing we know Blair comes along and saves the day! Blair, you are awesome!

My View

This was my view this weekend. I had a lovely time celebrating my birthday weekend at the beach with my two favorites, minus Bentley. He didn't get to go with us because he exceeds the weight limit at our pet friendly hotel. We thought about putting him on a diet to get him under 70 pounds but decided not to!! Ha!! Here are the crab hunters! They love hunting crabs at night with a net and flashlights! It is not my favorite pastime, so I chilled in the room so I could read without any interference.

"Look Mom, I caught a minnow!" Please tell me we don't have to eat that for dinner!!

It was so nice to just relax and celebrate! Listening to the waves is therapeutic and it just makes me feel close to God. I love the beach!

My "Keep Calm" Party

I had the most fabulous birthday ever! My super work friends made it very special with a "Keep Calm" theme party. Seriously, they should start a party planning business! It was incredible and so much fun. I laughed the whole day and by the end my face was hurting! These are just a few of the signs that were on my desk.

Me and the girls! For some reason Susie celebrated my birthday at the beach (without me!).

 I got some great gifts! These will come in handy at the beach this weekend. I LOVE my camera bag too!! Just what I wanted!

I also had a very special visitor!!!

Thank you Stephanie, Amanda and Susie! You guys are the best and you make me want to celebrate a birthday every day! Ha Ha!

It's My Birthday

Yes, friends, today is the BIG day. Wow! Time is flying by and I am definitely starting to feel my age! Thanks family for the gifts! And a special thanks to my husband for the awesome camera and to little Camden for the special bear. Now I am off to a day of work and I am going to party like a rock star because, Lord knows, I am not getting any younger! Ha!

 On a side note: We are no longer allowed to use the Internet at work except for business. Will I be able to survive without the Internet? I am going thru some withdrawals and feeling kind of lost....stay tuned!

Almost.....

It is almost time for a little of this! For some reason Tim likes to build sand castles this way. It is so very strange and sort of a close encounter of the third kind. I am sure that he will never win any sand castle building contests! However, beauty is in the eye of the beholder! Ha! And we can't forget about Bentley Bear. He loves the beach as much as we do!
