Apr. 16, 2007 - Picture Parade
Well, hello again!
I'm a bit later in posting than I'd like, but I'm just glad to be able to spare a few minutes to write! Clarke is sleeping at the moment so I thought I'd take advantage of the ability to type with 2 hands. 
We've had some fun times these last several weeks, including the celebration of Travis and I's birthdays! It's really great because my birthday is on the 9th of April and Trav's is on the 10th. We get to do a lot of fun things around those dates and just call them celebrations in honor of both of our special days. 
My sweetheart surprised me on my birthday by taking the day off of work so he could spend it with me. It was so awesome! He took me out to eat, then clothes shopping, over to Blockbuster to pick up a movie and then back home to watch it together. *grin* It was the nicest present he could have given me. My baby's truly the bestest. 
Here's a picture Clarke and I took for Daddy's birthday so that he could have a photo of us while he's hard at work at the office...

The next day I made us Chicken Fajitas (one of my hubby's favorite meals) and tried my hand at an icecream cake for Travis' b-day dinner. I couldn't believe how fun and and how easy making that cake was! I just used crushed up Butterfinger's and drizzled Hershey's syrup over that for the bottom layer, then coffee icecream, hot fudge for the 3rd layer, then a layer of whipped cream, then some vanilla iceream, more whipped cream, the last of the crushed up Butterfinger's on top and then I drizzled Hershey's syrup over that. And my word a'mercy...all I can say is YUMMO!!!! 
I was experimenting with what I thought might taste good and was surprised it actually turned out. But, I suppose you really can't go wrong with icecream and candy, can you? 
Then, after Travis and I recovered from a MAJOR sugar high, we celebrated our baby boy's 3-month old birthday on the 11th! (Granted, we didn't really celebrate as much as we just told Clarke it was his birthday and that we couldn't believe he was already 3-months old. )
And, of course, a post wouldn't be complete without a few more sweet pics of our little man!

Oh, and now I'm back to 1-handed typing cause my buddy's awake. I must be off! God bless ya'll, my friends.

Clarke looks so cool in his jeans outfit!
You're cake looks great. I would like to be able to make it too, but I don't think we even have half of the ingredients over here. :-)
