Birthday Fun

I have never ever ever said I could decorate cakes.  When it comes to butter and sugar I think presentation is overrated.
I always like it when birthdays are the same.  It must be the seven year old inside of me but I love matching birthdays.  My mom and my cousin Katie Jo share a birthday, along with the late Micheal Jackson.  George Clooney and I are soul mates on May 6th.  Max's girlfriend Claudia and my sister Suzy share a special day.  As much as I love my brother-in-law Mark I still think Krista was meant for our Omaha bishop's son Eric who had the same day as her.  So I was happy to learn my cousin Grace had her first child today on Max's birthday.  He now has a b-day buddy.  So congrats to Grace and Jason on their new baby Clark.  I am going to assume that he was named after Clark Grizwald from my favorite Holiday movie, National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation.  (I am sure he isn't but that's what I will always think and smile about.)

I would also point out that a lesser parent would have claimed that Max decorated the cake himself. Nope the sloppy green beauty was all me.

I thought max did it and was totally impressed with the name on the top!

I share my day with Kirsten Dunst.

There are still 4 August birthdays in my family among nieces and nephews left up for grabs for my baby to share with. Certainly one of them (like the one in 2 days would be ideal) wants to share with a new baby. Come on kid! I'll buy you an ipad someday!

My mother was born on her MIL's birthday. I was born on my MIL's birthday. Dave was born on Grandpa Ferrin's birthday. Mae only missed my birthday by 2 days. She shouldn't have been in such a hurry.
