He’s 4!

02.18.12

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!

Happy Birthday, Memphis!

01.05.12


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:

Ezra is 3!

02.05.11

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!!!

He’s Two!!

02.11.10

Our little man’s two! Hard to believe, isn’t it? We celebrated his birthday last week.

Ezra's two!

Ezra had so much fun opening presents this year. He got really into it! (Makes me a little nervous about keeping presents under the tree next Christmas  ;) ) Thank you so much to all of you who sent cards, gifts, and well wishes! We really appreciate all of your love and support! Ezra loved everything he received.

Ezra's two!

Ezra likes tractors. He points them out excitedly in books, movies, and at Lowes (the lawn mowers) with an exuberant “Tractor!!” So I decided to attempt a tractor cake for his birthday. Attempt being the key word. It looked a little like a low rider or maybe a pimped out John Deer with 30″ rims or something. I don’t know. At least Ezra recognized it for what it was intended to be and that’s all that matters!  :)

Ezra's two!

Happy birthday to Ezra!
