[un]spoken thoughts: one birthday party after another...

whenever summer time comes around, i start thinking.. what will Dylan's next birthday party theme be?! since his very 1st birthday he has had a different theme each year. with, of course an awesome cake to go with. we have been blessed with the best next door neighbors [who are like family to us] who have amazed me every year with the most creative cakes I've ever seen. not to mention the way they taste is delish!! they have been nice enough to make cakes for my close friends too :) i don't even have to ask, they just know its that time again! his cakes are the centerpiece to all of his parties.. no bakery and no dollar amount could ever compare to the memories we have from each of these masterpieces. my kid, baker in the making, even thinks ahead of time, what might the next cake be... since he knows the sky's the limit when his aunties get in the kitchen!!

we were thinking of doing a pool party this year at blackberry farm. my parents have brought me here since i was a little baby and now we do the same with dylan. just recently they have completely remodeled the place and it is even nicer then before. so this sparks the idea of a swimming pool cake :) ideas are still in the works though, but he mentioned he wanted a water slide too!! i don't doubt you will eventually see a picture of that.

looking back to the last 6 years and 6 parties we've had for dylan... i got the idea to share a picture or two from each of those days :) i cant believe how big my little boy has become. from his 1st birthday which was sesame street to his 6th birthday which was a totally rad Simpson party... he sure has had some great times:) so many people love him and i know he knows how lucky he is<3 i know i couldn't ask for better people in our lives!
