•   We went to visit Dad at the playground where he was teaching and we enjoyed recess with all the other kids. I had a blast going down the slide a few times.

  •   I just finished making frozen bananas and I pretty much did it all by myself. It’s a recipe from my new cookbook. I take a banana, cut it in half, take the tongs and dip the banana in chocolate and then roll it in crushed peanuts. Now I’m just waiting for them to freeze so…

  •    I was NOT thrilled about the hat. I thought I wanted to put it on until they tied something under my chin. I was so frustrated I couldn’t get it off!

  •    I’m showing off my piece of cake. I wanted Mom to take a picture of it.

  •    Caden is enjoying the cake. He ate most of Dad’s piece and his ice cream!

  •    blowing out her candles…

  •    Lauren was so excited to finally eat cake. She was asking for it as soon as we got there. Mom was right along with her asking the same question. 

  •    This was my favorite thing to do. I walked circles and laps around the house pushing this stroller, until someone came and just took it from me. That did not go over well. 

  •    Here’s the delicious and adorable cake.

  •    The birthday girl herself!
