My Amazing Wife

Zach recently had his birthday, and I wanted to gloat about the amazing effort Em put into his day.

A bit agoA few months/weeks ago, we asked Zach what kind of cake he wanted. He promptly informed us that he wanted a 'Lightning McQueen' cake.

So what did em do? She Googled how to make a Lightning McQueen cake, read up on a few things, and kazam! Zach had the cake he requested.





The best part is for a few days prior to his B-Day, Em was showing me some of the cakes she found online. They all looked pretty crummy, either the wrong colors, shaped funny or out of proportion. So I was assuming Zach would get something similar to what Em had been going off of online.

However, at 2:30AM, the morning of Zach's B-Day, she woke me up to show me the finished product. I was amazed!

The best part is that it tasted good!!! Non of that concrete tasting Fondant that you get with most wedding cakes, she used a marshmallow Fondant and that made all the difference!

The rest of his birthday went off great! He had a soccer game, which a lot of his friends and family came to, and then a great party.

Thanks to all those who came and/or gave him gifts on his special day.

I believe Peter thinks I am crazy when I go check on the kids every night. But besides knowing that everything is alright in the world, sometimes you can get a pretty good laugh. For example tonight. I first ventured into Liz's room...


She was gone, missing. I search the floor, the corners, no Liz. My next thought was that maybe she was hiding in my room. I'll check later.

Then I went into Zach's room...


Gone. Okay they were up to something. (Note: No pillow.)

Well I found them shortly after...


Apparently waiting to sleep on the top-bunk, ended today. I especially like the elbow in Liz's head. I know how she feels. ;)
