Happy Birthday Rory and the Lucky Leprauchaun

Happy Birthday Rory! Today my hubby turned 27!!!! I can't believe it. I was watching Desperate Housewives the other day, and Lynette was interviewing for a job. These girls came out of their interview and were talking about how old 35 was, the one girl said, "don't talk to me about it, I just turned 27 and I feel ancient!" I had to laugh because I really don't feel ancient at all! So anyway, Rory turned ancient today. He is such an awesome hubby. He helps me all the time with housework, cooking, bathing the kids, and loves to play with the kids. He is very loyal to the people he loves, he will stick up for them no matter what. He just got a promotion at work and I am so proud of him. I love him so much and am so glad I made the right decisions in my life that led me to him!


Ok, enough with the mushy business. Yesterday was St Patrick's day and so the leprauchaun came to visit the kids. That old St. Pat is a tricky fellow, he colored our milk green, hid the kids shoes, and tossed their clothes on their curtain rods! He tipped their lamps, turned their stuffed animals upside down and even left treats in their shoes. I have been trying to learn some new techniques with my camera, so here is a picture of Connor's shoes with the treats sticking out. I don't have the best camera for professional shots, but I am trying to improve my angles and try some new things.


I have also been learning how to decorate cakes (sort of). Candee came over and we made this cake for Debbie's St.Patrick's Day party/ Rory's birthday. It was pretty fun except the kids wanted to help and their hands were filthy (I made sure you got that piece Candee). Here are my cakes I've made so far:

Wow! Nice cakes! I have been wanting to learn how to do that. Happy birthday Rory, and it looks like you guys had a fun St. Patrick's Day.

27 isn't ancient. It is younger than me.

Happy birthday Rory! Sarah, the cakes look good enough to eat!! Great job, I like the white one with the flowers on it and the bow! Did you make the bow? You are so talented!! Maybe you can teach me how to do bows.
I might be down for Easter so maybe I will see you then.
You are such a good Mommy. I can't believe you let the Leprauchaun get away!!! Try to catch him next year and get that pot of gold!!!!

Your bow turned out great. Was it as easy as you thought? We need to get together to make the cake pops. I ordered a cookie cutter small enough to make cupcake pops. I am making them for Shyann's birthday. But I have to do a test run to make sure they turn out! Can't wait for tonight.

I guess I should have read your blog before I attempted my cake so I could have just called you. Did you use fondant for those bows? I didn't even attempt a fondant bow, I knew I would screw it up. I like your leprechaun stunts too, you're a good mom.

Those Cakes are so cute I can't believe you made them! Hey, thanks again for letting me bum a ride with you guys Friday night and for letting us see your new trailer, I love it and am jealous but I love our NOMAD j/k!

The cakes look great!! Now we know you can do that we will let you make them for all the family parties. Lucky you!! We do need to get together and do pictures. I have alot to learn on my camera. Let's just go shoot a bunch of pictures of the kids behind your house. We can both practice. Give Rory a big kiss for me for his birthday. He likes them from me, don't let him tell you he don't. See ya later!!!

Tell Rory Happy late b-day, it seems like not long ago we were both in the drivers ed car together. It was because of him that I got my license earlier than I expected. Thanks again!! I still think 27 is young.
