Grayton's Birthday Party--The Cake

On each of my kids' birthdays, I make them a special birthday cake. They get to pick out what they want, right down to the flavors of the cake and icing. This year Grayton wanted a spiderman/batman/superman cake with the bottom and top layers to be butter pound cake with my homemade buttercream icing, and he wanted the middle layer to be chocolate--chocolate chip pound cake with cream cheese icing. Whew-well, I did it. He loved it so much and was so proud of it, and that makes me so happy! All the hard work was well worth it!!

OUR ADDICTION!!

OUR ADDICTION!!
After the birth of Grayton, Jason and I began running and became highly addicted!! I soon made my first jogging stroller purchase, The Tike Tech all terrain single jogger. It was wonderful until I needed another seat for Riley Kate. I got this Dreamer Design off of ebay, and I love it! I call it my freedom and my sanity because I can load up the kids and go running whenever I feel like it! The kids love to stroll. They usually ask to go. We have run several races just for fun--Delta Jubilee 5K, Juke Joint Festival 5K, St. Jude 1/2 Marathon, Double Decker 10K, 300 Oaks 10K, etc. We love to run and if there is a race we can make it to, we'll run it!! We are running about 4 to 5 miles a day now with long runs of 7 to 12 miles on the weekends!

A LITTLE HOBBY OF MINE

A LITTLE HOBBY OF MINE
Since Grayton's 1st birthday, I have ventured out a bit and started baking and creating my kid's birthday cakes each year. Also, I am the homeroom mother for Grayton's class, so I am trying to get creative with my baking. I am not very good at it, but it is so much fun!! If anyone has any new cute ideas, share them with me.
