Iron Man is TWO!!

Bryson started out his birthday with his birthday muffin (pics posted previously) and it was a non stop party for the next couple days! He got a birthday package in the mail on his birthday from Grandma and Grandpa Stark and Aunt Keri, Uncle Travis and boys. He had some help opening it.
And he loved the contents! Thanks everybody

He is just growing up way too fast. I don't remember feeling like that with Landon, Jackson I did but I think that is because he was my first. He loves, loves, loves anything superhero! And he's two! Aren't two year olds supposed to like Elmo, Wiggles, Backyardigans, etc? He still likes that stuff, but man he loves to be batman, superman, and his favorite Iron Man. Hence the Iron man birthday party. I tried to mention other things to him but no, he was set on a Ironman cake! He also really like balls right now, and knows the difference between all the different balls. Soccer Ball, basketball, baseball, football, and bouncy ball.
We asked him what he wanted for this birthday dinner and he said "Pizza!" So we went to Pizza Factory. He was being a ham on the way to get in the car so I snapped some pictures. He loves his sunglasses and wants to wear them whenever we go anywhere.
What a stud!
We were lucky when Grandma and Grandpa Hansen decided to meet us for dinner! And they brought, Aunt Kristina, and cousins, Austin and Savanna! He got a new "bayseball gove" which he loves. We let the kids play around at Fat Cats arcade after and it was so fun!

And cutie Savanna wanted to pose for some pictures too!
Sunday was his birthday bash. It was pretty low key. So low key that these invites didn't even get done until Thursday, and then they were emailed to family. They knew about it, but I was just not in the mood for party planning, if you can believe it, so I wasn't even going to do invites. Gasp! But the fun Ironman suit that Grandma and Grandpa Stark sent convinced me. We missed you guys!

He loved his presents.

And I found these stinkin' cute alligator converse that are so him. Savanna thought they were pretty fun too, and wore them the whole time. On the wrong feet.

The funny thing is that at Savanna's birthday party a few weeks before, she got some princess shoes for dress up, and Bryson was quite interested! He walked around in these forever and even ran down the hall in them! Although he had to have a gun in his hand as well, "I shoot Princess"
I stole this from Kristina's blog. It was pretty cute!
The Cake. I really wasn't looking forward to doing an Ironman cake since there really isn't a lot of options, but I guess it turned out pretty cute, and the boys thought the buildings were "awesome!" A few of you have asked if I took a cake class. No, I pretty much just taught myself, trial and error. And I am far from the perfect cake maker, but I love to do it!





Bryson is such a sweetheart and really keeps us going.
Happy Birthday to you Bubba! We love you so very much!

Birthday muffin!

Bry had his 2nd Birthday on Thursday! His party is tomorrow so pictures and fun stuff to come! But I'll leave you with this:

The traditional birthday muffin. He tried two different times to eat the candle. I think he thought it was a sucker. Love this kid!

Cakes and stuff

It seems like I kinda had a dry spell and didn't get to make any goodies for a while! But in March I made a cake for our Relief Society Birthday Party. The theme was Dr. Seuss' Oh the Places You'll Go, so I played with that a little and came up with this. The Elephants I made out of melting chocolate.




Then my grandma turned 80 in April and I made some cupcakes for her surprise party. The top is a little 6 inch cake. I was excited to finally have a reason to make a cupcake tower. It was fun and they were super yummy!
