---caked out---


well...
we're older than we've ever been.
it's a sad day when you have to whip out one of these to light the candles. or a funny day. whichever way you look at it I guess. In our house it was very funny.

Derek and Easton made me my favorite cake and took me to lunch for my big 2-6. It was a good day of bumming around with my boys. And thanks to all who called and sent gifts. I feel so loved! To those of you who forgot... I would be happy to accept apologies and late presents. :)

Derek b-day is a few days after mine and so notice the re-use of the b-day candles. we are just trying to do our part to save the environment. We DO live in Oregon you know. gotta be green.
HE didn't want a cake... so he got a Boston Cream Pie. Which is basically a cake, but they call it pie. I don't really understand that, but it still tasted delicious. And technically it wasn't cake. right???
It was Derek's idea to flip the 6 candle and turn it into a 9. He's clever. even in his old age.
This is the best present he got:
(I got one too, just not on film...)

Does this make him a grown-up? yes. yes it does. But I have to say... he looks really good in it.

Ames party of three.

Happy Birthday to both of you. You'll have to accept my apology of course because I didn't know it was your birthday. You see, these are good things to know, then you at least get a cute card in the mail:) Love that you decorate the house. My Mom used to do that for our birthdays. It makes the day so much more special.

PS I'll accept your apology for not calling me on my birthday, especially because you were driving home from Utah. Gotta keep both hands on the wheel!

You guys are sooo young. Wait until you hit 32 or even 42! I am glad you two had fun. Bailee has been wanting to plan a party for me, but she is not getting any help from Dave. He is taking off tomorrow for Japan. Oh well!
