Happy Birthday Tim!

Saturday was Tim's birthday, so I made it my mission to bake a cake. Actually, the only reason I baked a cake was because the only ones the grocery store had were full of pastel flowers. So, I decided to see if the MN baking incidents were just a fluke. I proved they were! The cake turned out lovely. So, I asked Logan to help me frost it. He was thrilled! I let him lick the frosting container and spatula before noon! It was way better than any cake I could have bought at the store.

The day was fun. Mom and dad came over for a sleep over. It may have been Logan's birthday with all the surprises...frosting, grandma and grandpa, and presents that weren't his that he got to open anyway!!!

Daddy made his famous ribs and we got to play outside most of the day. It was no where near warm enough, but Logan and his little friend down the street started running through a sprinkler that was on...fully clothed in long sleeve t-shirt and jeans! If only I had a picture of that one.

Well, only one and a half weeks before I go back to work. I am excited to get back to my career, but at the same time I am very sad. I love spending time with Devyn. Our time together is precious, just like my leave with Logan. I am going to miss it very much. I just hope to make the most out of this time and prepare myself mentally (and physically) for work.

I am posting this because maybe it is my only way to motivate...I have to lose one more pant size before I go back to work. I think I can do it, but it might help if I actually exercise. I have been walking and doing the Wii Fit when I can, but throwing my back out this weekend didn't help matters. If I don't lose one more pant size, much to my dismay and the bank account's, I will have to head to the store. I am so close to fitting in my old clothes, but I am just not quite there yet. Fingers are crossed and more updates to come!
