All "caked" out!

Happy 9th Birthday Con Man
The wrestling ring cake
3 of the 10 in attendance

April is a busy month for birthdays in our own family and extended family...needless to say we have consumed alot of cake...AND baked many a cake this month...7 so far...and one more b-day to go...maybe we'll change it up a bit and go for a pie or a baked cheesecake?? Better yet, an angel food cake which is virtually fat free! Once again we have much to be thankful for, another year of health and happiness. Praise God!


Actual day of birthday - Trent passed out on us early



Kelsey is learning to play the saxophone - look out world - and trying out for badminton. Connor competed in Cadetorama on the weekend and his team placed 2nd overall and he placed 3rd in the annual Speed Stack tourney!


Connor's main gift


Connor (April 3rd) decided to have 10 boys for his party, with the mindset that he would have 2 teams for a rockin' soccer party...the weather however had other plans and we awoke to 3 inches of snow the day before the "shindig"...it then became a wrestling theme...and yes it was rather wild but lots of fun!


The birthday party cake - had to share - Dora and Diego a sure hit!



Maggie and Trent (April 17th) had friends from StoryTime (church) and had a grand time. This was their first official birthday party with friends (rather than only cousins) and included loot bags. YEE HAW! Oma, Opa and Papa continued the celebration into the evening with a nice birthday supper...and ANOTHER cake(s) - individual cakes;). They have to have some individuality!!!


Trent has come up with some good ones lately. Kelsey had bought Connor some Crocs for his birthday and Trent was mighty interested in getting a pair himself...so we looked all over for his size with no success. The next day he states, "TODAY are we going to get some Crotches for me, I mean Crotchies?" Then we were at the Family Enrichment Centre playing with a Fisher-Price pirate ship, curiously I asked him if he knew what the big black thing with a chain was on the boat..."Oh that, that's the YANKER"...not too shabby Trent!
