Goodbye Terrible 2's

Hello Thrilling 3's

We get to bring in our new years by celebrating Travis' birthday. Yep, he's a new years baby. but before I get to his birthday, I've got start with new years eve, right? 

The four of us spent the day with some friends, My friend Melissa got some awesome cake making supplies for Christmas and she was ready to test them out. So she and I got busy and nearly 6hrs later came up with Travis' Thomas the tank engine cake.

 

the top of the cake was rice crispy treat covered in blue marshmallow fondant, and the bottom is chocolate cake covered in butter cream icing. Travis loved his cake.

 

nothing about bowling shoes are cute...unless they are in toddler size.

 

 

 

 The kids had a blast!

 

 

 Travis got so shy when we all sang "happy birthday"

 not to shy to blow out candles & eat cake

 

 waiting patiently

 

Present time

where did the time go?

these 3 years have gone by so fast.

Happy Birthday to my sweet boy!!

Thanks to those that got to help celebrate Travis' 3rd birthday with us.

THE UNDER DOG FIR

This dismal specimen of fraser fir was selected by me due to the merit that its level of pathetic strung my heart strings and compelled me to buy it out of mercy, denying it a death in vain. Heather was less than happy  when she seen me walking back to the truck with this poor little guy in my hand, I see the potential....

 BEHOLD, there it is in all its glory,!!!! Heather my crafty wife used her talents to bring out the best of our little runt trees features. She used a ginger bread man tree skirt given to her by her late Nana not bad for only  2 feet of sparse twig and needle.



How's it going everybody!! Heather and I decided to get together and publish a blog of whats going on here in Stillwater, OK so all you friends and family can keep up with our super freaking busy and EXCITING lives!
