Birthday...times 2!

On Saturday, April 4th, we had a birthday for Maddox (and Larry) here at the house with our families. Here's the cake...it was a mixture of all the types of cakes Maddox wanted. He kept changing his mind. So this is what we ended up with. It was a red, white, and blue camo firetruck. I meant to raise it up with some shocks to fulfill his monster truck wish, but I forgot until after I already started on the tires. The red, white, and blue came from his wish of wanting an American flag on the firetruck. I thought it turned out pretty well considering how many ideas he had about what he wanted. Kurt and Taylor are Maddox's Godparents, so this was their gift to him. Kiley came up with the idea to decorate his wrapping instead of using regular old birthday wrapping. Very creative and definitely personal. Notice the skate boarder ramping...saying "come to papa!" while Mom stands off to the side with the video camera....and then the wipeout! Loved it!

This is the gift...it just so happens to be Gavin's favorite toy also. He was Star Student last week at school and on his questionaire he listed this as his favorite toy! Somebody knew exactly what these boys would like.

Thank you Kurt for my Backhoe! I gave him an extra tight one for Taylor too!

I'm trying to get caught up on my posting. This is just the beginning.
