Remy is one, Happy Birthday!

Well for every birthday I love to make my boys cakes! Every year when Im in the middle of making it I think what have I started? Then by the time Im done I love it and it means a lot to me that I could do it for them! So for Remy's first birthday I wanted to do cupcakes, my friend Sarah gave me a cupcake tree for Christmas and I wanted to use it. I decided that we would do a jungle animal theme! So here I am making fondant for the first time and making animal faces out of it to put in the cupcakes.

Here is Trav's attempt to help me. I put him in charge of doing the elephants, he did good. Then he attempted to make the second one and this as is far as he got....

Lets just say he gave up and was done helping and decided to visit with me instead! I thought he did good but he was just getting fustrated and he didn't like the idea of making six.

Here is the finished product. I did tigers, lions, elephants, and zebras. The lions were my favorite and I think the zebras looked like cats. Oh well after three nights of work it was done and worth it!

The birthday boy! I can't belive that he is one! Where did that year go, we love you Remy!

I made this party hat with stamps to match the jungle theme. I wanted to get pictures with he wearing it while he ate his cake but he wouldn't leave it on.

Opening presents, he was just fascinated wth the paper, which was okay because he had plenty of help...

Thank you everyone for the presents and joining us via web cam for the party! We missed you all and can't wait to see you again!

Thanks Grandma Lil for the cute giraffe blanket you made!

He wasn't really into eating the cupcake but he sure had fun smashing it!


We love you Remy you have been such a blessing to our family! I hope that you had a good Birthday! I can't belive you are already one! Thank you for being such a nice boy!

Love you!
