Birthday Photo Op

And because I had them all together I tried to get as many picures of them as I could.Dunkie is a dufus. No matter what you're doing he's got to ham it up. One of his favorite things to do is 'The Wanderer'. While he is too young to remember The Wanderer from SNL he's made it his personal mission to wander into as many photos as he can.

These were of course staged but getting to that picture without one. . .
Or the other laughing was half the fun.Charlie chillin with da boys. . .

Franky the giant ham was hard to pin down for a good picture.
He would not stop wiggling.

or he looks splayed out.

Sorry folks, this was the best I could do.

You will not see Youngest smiling in any of his pictures. Because this boy, aka Chandler, looks bizarre when he smiles for the camera. It's sad but true. He has a beautiful smile that lights up his face. He is of course handsome, but when he smiles for the camera something wierd happens.

SWEET!!

The Cake

THE CAKE!!!
The boys birthdays are so close together that I have always combined their birthdays. They had the same friends and they often combined their friends for one great big boy fest. Great for street hocky or a little throwing of the pigskin. But as they've gotten older, jobs have kept them from celebrating together. It was nice that I could have a shared cake again. I don't order a lot of cakes anymore so I thought I'd just pick one up at Albertsons. We needed a Costco run so I just priced it. 1/4 sheet cake, $19.99!! You wanna know how much I paid for it at Costco? $16.00!!! And this is a 1/2 sheet! Twice as much!
THE EATING OF THE CAKE

The blended family. BH's oldest and the Irishman from work.Magoo. How adorable is this little girl?Do you just want to smooch her?
The enormity of this cake led to obsenly large portions.Which led to bordom.And the playing of food.

And some naughtyness.But she was so cute about it I just couldn't be mad.

Chocolate Easter Bunnies

Just think about THIS while you are enjoying your Easter candy.

I had a great Easter. First we drove to Arizona Thursday. The air in our truck was out and wouldn't you know it was 100 degrees in the desert. AND I thought that it might be cold in Phoenix so I brought 2 sweaters and a heavy jacket. What was I thinking! It didn't rain but it did cool off some thankfully and Easter was sunny and beautiful.



These are the baskets that I made up for my boys. Notice the cute pug socks! They are for my youngest son that I have now discovered wears a size 14 shoe. Whew! I told him I didn't know his feet where that big and they may not fit. Not to worry, he said, they stretch, I'll make them fit. The pink peeps are for my strange middle son that loves pink. Go figure. No, he's not gay, not that there's anything wrong with that, he just loves pink.

See the adorable bunny purse? I stuffed it full of candy for my middle son's girlfriend. See, I told you he wasn't gay. (Not that there's anything wrong with that.)

Here are some pics of my beloved sons.




#1 Son Jeffrey

#2 son Sleepy Dave. Yes those are earings. Two of them in each ear. No, he's not gay! Not that there's anything wrong with that.

#3 son Handsome Mike. Official owner of Frank the pug and size 14 feet.




Would it kill you to smile son?

I made these up for my Big Hunks grandkids. There were 2 more baskets and a cute little purse as well but I forgot to take pictures of them before I sent them off. The bunny and chick are hand puppets. I also put Crabby Patties in there with Reeses cups and malt eggs. Oh and poppers. Have you ever seen poppers? They are these little pieces of paper with gunpowder in them. You throw them on the ground and the pop like caps. Very very fun and very very annoying. I did warn the mommies that they were in there so they could monitor their use and not scare the life out of parents, neighbors, animals etc.
