Am I ever going to miss a birthday post? Probably not.
Am I ever going to give up my lame cake decorating attempts? Probably not.
We managed to keep the bike a surprise despite all the close calls. Ezra even saw the bike box in the car, but Brad told him it was just garbage we needed to drop off for recycling. After the party when Brad was putting his helmet on the lightbulb went off: “Hey that box wasn’t garbage. That was from my bike!”
Love that boy.
Check out his reaction. He’s so cute.

“I go! Look, Mommy, I go!”
We celebrated Memphis’s 2nd birthday last week with a glow in the dark party. Hopefully it made up for last years cake blobs ball failure. I ordered a black light for one of his gifts (for sensory play) and decided to make a theme out of it. Not as much glowed as I had hoped (like the cake or my striped shirt which magically showed 100% of my bra), but the boys still thought it was the coolest thing EVER.
P.S. I don’t apologize for the one million pics. I’m his mother. Indulge me.
P.P.S. I left the black light on the whole time so the pictures with the lights on had this funky cross processed look to them (hence the black and white).
Crossing his fingers that the cake makes it all the way to his mouth.
Mmm… that was good. I need a bigger piece.
I love that sweet little face of his. This boy makes me so happy.
Here is a time-lapse video for the Grands to enjoy of him blowing out his candles. I would have done an animated gif, but there were like 20 something pictures and the file was humongous. Press play and bask in the cuteness.

Hard to believe my baby is 4. He looks so much older to me. I’m pretty sure he shoots up at least a foot the month before each birthday. He’s so special and sweet (most of the time) I could just eat him up.
Here’s the cake. I think I’m getting better at this. Maybe…
When we were tossing around ideas for Memphis’s birthday cake, we mentioned making an airplane and Ezra insisted his cake be an airplane this year. He was so excited about it he stayed in the kitchen all day eating frosting with a spoon helping me.
Thank you to family for the sweet gifts. He LOVED them and was so excited about each one. Thank you for all of your support and love!

We celebrated Memphis’s 1st birthday Monday. He received a lot of ball related presents, so I decided to run with the theme and make cake balls. (FYI cake balls are gross. At least to me. *Gag*)
Memphis, you have been an absolute joy and a blessing to our little family. Seriously. Sweetest. Baby. Ever. We love you!!
P.S. Thank you to family for sending the fun presents. They were a big hit!
Oh, and speaking of birthdays, this is how Brad celebrated his while at my mom’s house:

We celebrated Ezra’s birthday this past week. I can’t believe my baby is three years old now! Can you? I could swear I was nursing him and rocking him to sleep just a couple of months ago. Has it really been three whole years? It’s unbelievable to me how fast the time goes. (Actually he still occasionally asks me to snuggle with him on the rocking chair. Isn’t that nice? I savor those moments.)
Here he is telling daddy how old he is:
He’s into trains this year so that was the theme. You’d think I’d be getting better at making birthday cakes.
I’m not.
I really should learn how to do fondant, but really who honestly likes fondant? Everyone I know just peels it off and eats the cake. Plus, Brad’s a frosting guy. No matter how thick I put the frosting on the boy gets out an extra tub of it to eat with his piece. (Yeah… gross. How does he not slip into a sugar coma? Or weigh a thousand pounds for that matter? He even eats my frosting!)
I had a better pic of the boys, but Memphis looked like he was about to take a bite out of Brad all Cullen style so I went with this one. Brad was much better with the camera that day. I was totally off my game.
Is this not the cutest picture ever? I love how he blows out his candles!
And here he is playing with his new train set. He loves it!
Happy birthday, Ezra! We love you!!!
