After; taste test passed:

..birthday bash..

*I am warning you now, there will be lots of pics in this post!*

This past weekend, 3 of my favorite boys in the whole world celebrated birthdays... my nephews. Charles turned 8 on Friday, Connor turned 6 on Saturday (they're brothers), and Matthew turned 15 on Sunday (he's their cousin). Talk about a busy, cake-filled weekend :)

So Saturday was Charles and Connor's party was on Saturday.

They thought this was so funny..

In the next shot you can see the confusion on Connor's face. It's because we got him the Transformers Wii game. But they didn't have a Wii. So I told them I must have got the wrong kind, and that I would have to take it back..

But this was the next present they opened.. (I love the face)

Then we managed to pull them away from it long enough to let them whack their pinatas..

Charles had gotten turned around, and was headed towards the crowd. I've never seen grown men move so fast :D

Connor knew he liked Pixi sticks, but had never eaten a blue one..

Lol, he didn't like it :)

Then Sunday was Matthew's birthday. Being 15, he just wanted some hamburgers and cake. He's a big St. Louis Cardinals fan, and asked me to make his cake, and I happily obliged.

Then came the silliness..

Then it just got hilarious :)

It was a great weekend :)

..the big 3-0!..

Today is my hubby's 30th birthday! I can't believe it.. he was 20 when we met and started dating. I'm so happy that I have been able to "grow up" with him :) I threw him a little party last night.. nothing major, just invited over some friends he hasn't seen in a while. We had a blast! His parents brought over their Wii, so check out these pics of Jeff and his dad Wii skiing! :D





It was hilarious :D Everyone had a competition going to see who could have the longest ski jump. And before I show you his cake, you gotta know the story behind it.. Red velvet cake is his favorite. I make it for him every year. But a couple of weeks ago he said, "Why don't I get a special cake?" Soo... this is what he got :)





You also have to know that spaghetti is his 2nd favorite meal. (2nd to BBQ, but I couldn't see me doing that out of cake, lol) So it was red velvet cake, cream cheese icing, fondant meatballs, and some strawberry jam thinned down for the sauce. He thought it was cool.. my old man got his special cake :)

..i was kidnapped..

By my husband :) I had no choice but to follow him around for 3 days. First a remote control airplane fly-in, then to Memphis for 2 days for a Simulator check ride. Then I had two birthday parties in two days!! But it was for all three of my nephews (their birthdays are July 10, 11 & 12, how crazy is that?) This year, they turned 14, 7 and 5. It was a great weekend filled with skating (the 5 year old is fast!!), BBQ and watermelon.

Today I'm trying to get ALL of our laundry done, because we're leaving on Thursday for MEXICO!! I can't wait, I want to leave now :) I'm trying to convince hubby to take his laptop. Usually that thing is attached to his hip, but now he's saying he doesn't want to take it with us this time. What am I supposed to do with no AMR and no Blog Reader for a week?!
