Last week, Dane informed me that it was Rescue Turtle's birthday, so what was a Mom to do? Plan a birthday bash, of course. :) Here's Dane and his favorite rescue turtle (doesn't everyone have one?)
All the guests...
The birthday cookie and candles (he turned 2 - we somehow missed the one year celebration!)
I'm up for any excuse to make some good cookies! :) And since I recently found out that Daddy is a HUGE fan of Red Velvet Cake I found a Red Velvet Cookie recipe just for him {and for Rescue Turtle too}. It was a huge success. Are you a Red Velvet fan? If so, try these out!
Here's what else we've been up to -
Dane's been asking to help with the dishes recently - Ummmm....let me think....yep, pretty sure I'm going to say yes to that! Go get 'em tiger.
We had an amazingly warm and sunny weekend! The boys and I had a special Mommy and me day and we soaked up some sun and water at Sandy Beach.
And since we were in Douglas, we stopped by the fire station. It is a volunteer station and we got super lucky that Firefighter Keegan was there. He was amazing and let the boys sit in every vehicle. The boys loved it (you'd think they'd grow tired of this firefighter stuff! Don't worry, Unk Tim, they're not!)
Afterwards we went by our favorite pizza place and had a couple of slices. Heavenly....
We spent the rest of the weekend gardening and fighting fires. :)
A pretty awesome weekend for all!
