birthday time!

I really love to bake

so when a vanilla cake was requested 

I went looking for new recipes

 My trusty helper 
licking the beater 
awaiting the bowl

My efforts at including myself on the blog 

trying to use the self timer

yeah 

I'll keep working on it!

don't worry its not a knife!

vanilla with butter cream frosting!

also requested 
PIZZA!

presents
Tyler checked the mail everyday for a week awaiting the arrival of Grandma V's card
It has money in it!!!

I think he likes it!

OH YEAH!!!!

Assembly of the new NERF GUN!

Time for that cake!

Vanilla cake

which was very good

extremely rich

but the BR Gold Medal Ribbon did help!

9 years!

how is that possible?
seems a little unfair that he is growing up so quickly
Tyler is has a calm, caring, funny, smart and so much more he sets a great example for all of us!
We love you Tyler!!!
