Liam's 3 rd Birthday Party

So, I found this pattern online and thought we'd give it a try. It's 2 round 9inch cakes. Here's the first stage of the dinosaur cake.



Here's the finished cake! I was very proud of myself. What a mama won't do for her kids. It took me a couple hours to frost it but looked so cool after it was done.


I order bag from Oriental trading and each of the kids got to decorate one. They seemed to really have fun and the parents really got into it too.


It was nice being in our house instead of the condo cause we had a lot more room. It never felt terribly crowded although there was a lot of kids and parents.


This is Gabriel and my best friend's little boy. They are two days apart. We were leaving the hospital with Gabriel when Drew was being born. They're looking up at a balloon.


I LOVE this picture! Liam's eyes sparkle! He was SO thrilled about the dino cake and the 3 candles.


It took some prompting to get him to blow the candles out. He was embarrassed, I think, by all the attention.


Here's all the kiddos and their cake. The cake turned out to be just enough for everyone. It was good too. The cake was moist but dense and the frosting wasn't overly sweet.


This is Gabriel and my friend Rose's little boy. Julian is 2 weeks older then G-man. The boys were trying to get to the birthday pressents after most of the kids left. LOL

It's a . . .

BOY!! Liam is a big brother to a beautiful baby boy! Gabriel Asher was born at 8:55 PM on March 16th. He weighed 9lbs. 2.9oz and was 21 inches long. We were at church for a meeting with all the youth workers and after the meeting I (Kami) was having more intense contractions and just not feeling right. A mother of a couple of our high school girls offered to take me home with them and let me rest at their house while Dave stayed at church to run our Sunday night youth group. It wasn't long after arriving at their house that my water broke. I called for Dave to come pick me up and we headed to the hospital. It was slightly under 3 hours later that our little boy came into the world. It was quick and everything went smoothly. Gabriel got a 9 out of 10 on both his apgar tests which made us proud. He's nursing like a pro and so beautiful! ...

A mother of 3 boys

I have to be honest in hopes that it will encourage you to pray for me. I now have a 5yo, 4yo and 2yo. I am over whelmed and had my first major break down today. I say "major" because I have actually had many breakdowns but this was the first with tears I just couldn't control. This is WAY harder then I thought it would be. Or maybe it's just that the "difficult things" I tried to prepare myself for aren't very tough at all. There are many things that I just wasn't prepared for and it's knocking me off my feet. The boys are acting like brothers. Yes, this sounds like a good thing. The issue? That means they fight. . . there's screaming, scratching, pushing and biting involved. It's not all the time but I have to watch them so things don't get out of hand. I have been so tired. I don't think it has anything to do with the jet lag anymore but more of just a physical issue I have struggled with since Gabriel was born 2 years ago. I a...

Stinky, Uncontrollable Moments

The boys and I were going to join Dave at Quest (middle school camp) in Olympia this weekend. Dave is the Quest director and although he'd be working and busy we were excited to be able to go and have a weekend away. So, why am I now sitting on my couch watching Ice Age with my family on Friday night instead of hanging out with middle schoolers at camp? Let me share the insane story with you. . .           We hit the road in our van and while driving over White Pass we had car trouble. . . bad enough that we couldn't drive the van any farther.           In the rain, Dave worked and worked to try and fix the belt that partially tore and then came off it's track. We didn't have cell service so we had no idea what to do.           Finally, a Good Samaritan stopped and offered us a ride to Naches (the closest town back towards Yakima). ...
