Birthday Boys

April is an anticipated month at our house, with 2 out of the 3 boys having a birthday.  Bridger turned the big "4" this year and was "willy, willy" happy about this.  He looks dubious in the picture below, but the emotion he was really feeling was elation at such a fantastic cake.  I promise.  This was my first attempt at Mormor's famous Mandarin Orange birthday cake, and although it doesn't look as pretty as hers always did, it tasted delicious.

He's going through a horse phase and wants to know what every horse we see is called.  He'll shout out as we drive past horse pastures, "Mom, that horse has a blaze!" or "Look at that horse's stockings!".

A new helmet to go with his new scooter.  We must protect the ol' noggin.

Bionicles!  We were hoping that by giving him his own, it would stop him from sneaking into Hayden and Gannon's room and stealing their Bionicles.  This kid is as stealthy as a ninja.

Hayden is 9!!  Stop the madness! I know, I can hardly believe it either.  Where has the time gone?  It seems like just yesterday I was sending him off to Kindergarten and now he's reading books like Harry Potter all on his own.

Hayden begged to have the same cake that Bridger had, but alas, the second time was not the charm.  The frosting was a little thin and wasn't cooperating and the oranges kept slowly sliding down the sides.  But we carried on anyway and Hayden didn't seem to mind.

Jeremy's birthday was the day of our move in February, hence all the moving boxes in the background.  So festive, I know.  I go all out.

Happy Birthday to all these boys!
