Is it just me, or is it completely out of the blue that Jaden is now 6 and going into 1st grade this year??? I don't know, it kind of caught me off guard, but it is true. He is so happy to be 6 now "like Luke." He can only enjoy it for 6 months until Luke turns 7, and then that is all I will hear about until this time next year. So the cycle goes. :) Anyway, speaking of Luke, Mrs. Karrer outdid herself this year and made Jaden the most amazing knight's castle cake I have ever seen, and not to be unfair, she made a beautiful princess one for Baylee as well. I'm not sure if she truly realized how much work it was going to be, or if she just loves my kids that much, but we think she is pretty special. :)
She did most of the work at her house, but brought it all over here on Saturday morning to assemble it. The kids must have asked if we were finished yet 1000 times. They were SO excited!
She even let them put the tops of the towers on when she was done.
Balyee was thrilled with hers.
And of course, my mighty knight loved his and has said several times that it was the best birthday that he ever had.
Thanks Anne, you made it so special for them!
Aubrey had some fun too. Since Jaden got a new bike, he got to upgrade to Jaden's old bike. Tony put the training wheels back on it and he hopped right on. He loves it! I was shocked at how well he did. It is pretty big for him.
He was SO proud. :)
So was Daddy.
Jaden and Baylee waited all day for this moment!
Her cake looked so cute with the candles on it. What in the world??
So everyone enjoyed some cake and I think Anne was very relieve when it was all disassembled!
The kids were even crazy enough to want to get in the pool. I remember those days... but they are long since passed for me. Thankfully Tony and Nate were willing to brave the cold and swim with the little ones.
Nana and Cathy hung out with the girls.
Chase man enjoyed Jaden's new beanbag. He was so cute, he liked the balloons too. Just wasn't quite sure about all the people, but he is getting much better.
Jaden LOVES JC and was so glad he came. :) I saw them sitting together eating cake and had to grab a picture. It was the sweetest thing.

WOW! Those cakes are amazing (as all of Anne's cakes are). I still don't know where you moved to? We miss you and sometimes talk about moving back (but I don't know if it's a good idea with the job market the way it is right now). Hope to visit soon (I'm still trying to get a hold of Staci) I know she is traveling alot right now. Take care and keep up the post (you're the only one that does regular post).
Cheryl = )
Hi Cheryl. :) We just moved across town, in the southwest. We are much closer to everyone now. We will be praying for that decision! We would LOVE to have you back! I understand the hesitation though. Hope to see you soon! Maybe we can plan a trip to CALM. ;)
