New Moon Widget

Yes it is a little early to put on a Widget. Sorry. I found this and had to try it out.

It's great to be 8

February is very special this year for Nate. He turned 8 years old! He had a bowling party. It was going to be a hot tub party, but his dad accidentally forgot to drain the pump housing on the hot tub and it froze. The result would be us ordering a part online that got here 2 days to late :( He got to take his friends to the bowling alley instead. This was really fun. He also go to go to cub scouts. He was all smiles :) He felt very special in his new cub scout shirt. Thanks Grandma! Nate had a cake to beat out all cakes this year. It was amazing, and I did manage to actually delete it off my camera! I managed to delete all Nate's birthday pictures and scout pictures. Good job mom.

For a brief description, this cake cost me over $70 and I made it! It was a train cake. It was multi level. It involved 6 cake mixes, 2 cookie sheets of rice crispy treats, 2 boxes of graham crackers, 8 icing containers, 1 pkg jello-the pond, 1 pkg milk duds, 1 pkg sweedish fish, 1 pkg pretzel sticks, 2 pkgs marshmellows, various food coloring, and his geo tracks train-I didn't have to buy that thank goodness. All of this only took me a solid 8 hours and Nate helped for 4 hours too. Yes there is still cake left over.

So we had the most amazing cake, and no pictures. We did not even have a family party this year because everyone was going in different directions that day. The only people who saw this creation in all it's glory were some very excited 8 year old boys, my mom, and us. I know Nate will remember it forever even if we don't have a picture. He may even remember it better than it was. It could be in my favor.

Nate will be getting baptized on Feb 28th. The time is still unknown. We will let everyone know ASAP.

Nate you are so special and this is your month! We love you.

Nate's new blog.

Nate thinks he needed to make a more manly blog, so he made his own. The address is natebreinholt.blogspot.com.
