{Fun 4th}

We had a very fun 4th!

Unfortunately, we didn't make the fireworks - Drew crashed before they even started. Oh well - maybe next year!

All in all though it was a great weekend with family - lake time, cooking out, baking, relaxing with family, and chasing after Drew and Hayden.

I'm sure you are wondering - what was I baking??????

My wonderful MIL is teaching me how to bake cakes - so that I can make Drew's 1st birthday cake next weekend. I had a crash course in cake baking on Saturday afternoon and my 'practice' cake turned out better than I had expected. Let me just tell you - I am not very domesticated in the kitchen. But, something about being a mom makes me want to try to be more domestic! I had SO much fun - I just might quit my job to be a cake baker! Well, probably not. But, I can't wait to see what Drew thinks of his cake next weekend! I think he's gonna like it!

Speaking of next weekend....I absolutely can't believe my baby is turning one. I have been very emotional about it lately. I tear up even thinking about his birthday next weekend. I am so excited about his party and am so proud of our boy....BUT he is growing up way too fast!

Enough blabbering from me, here are some pictures from this weekend. Enjoy!
