Mommy's birthday cake

Saturday was my birthday and Joseph was so excited to go get me a cake. All morning he talked about getting me a pink princess cake. Which I thought was so sweet. So after swim the two Joes went to Dairy Queen to get me an ice cream cake. Once Joseph saw all the cakes he decided that I needed a race car cake. Also he told Joe that he did not need his help, and to just take him home so he could get his bike. Silly boy!!

Flashback Fridays

Memories sweet memories. This was taken in the fall of 2008 for our Christmas cards. The barn in the background is where we had our wedding reception. I love that we went back to where we got married and had family pictures taken.
