Resume:
I’m the second child of five siblings. They say experience is the true teacher so I guess being a sister four times over should indicate I learned something about it. I’ve been happily married since 1992 and am the adoptive mother to two amazing kids. Of all the roles I play in my life this one is the most challenging, rewarding, difficult and time consuming.

Birthday wrap-up:
Taylor was all about Star Wars and Darth Vador or as he calls him “Koo-Kee” complete with the breathing sound effect. His black cake with strawberry filling actually tasted great and is the first birthday cake to be completely eaten.

He choose lunch at a Mexican restaurant and made sure everyone he saw all day was made aware that it was his birthday that day! He “set up” his own party table right down to filling up cups with water for his cousins when they arrived to have cake and ice cream.

Cidnie threw me a loop wanting a cake with penguins while incorporating red, white and blue. If possible she also wanted the flag and a picture of her face on the cake too. I did my best but I still have limits…*giggle* Her German chocolate cake with coconut filling was also a hit and is well on it’s way to being eaten completely.

She got to have a sleepover with a cousin this past weekend and also got to go to a movie with them. She surprised us with her dinner request that instead of going somewhere she wanted dad to fix her chili, with spaghetti while she played with her friends on their waveboard outside. So last night we had chili on top of spaghetti and she was happy as could be. This morning I passed her room to hear her new stereo blasting Hannah Montana (thanks for that dad.) Apparently, that birthday gift was a hit.

So they’re both happy, healthy and have a few new items to add to their stash. I’m happy to have kids to spend birthdays with and grateful for grandparents who still love to spoil their grandkids.
