I still haven't gotten over the fact that Vanessa is now 12 years old,
when April has hit and my lil man has now turned 8!!!
He has been so excited for today to come. He gets to be baptized on Sunday and he got to start cub scouts tonight!!! Last night on our way home from his birthday dinner he informed me that he needed to bring cupcakes for his class at school, its now 7:30 pm, so I said ok we can stop at Safeway on our way home and pick some up. But my AMAZING mom stepped in and said she would make him some cupcakes when we got home. Now I had surgery on Saturday, so I haven't been able to do much and my mom, she is the best...I really couldn't have asked for a better mom. She has been helping me so much with the kids and helping me get around. So when we got home at 8:00 pm she started on the cupcakes, only to find out we were out of cupcake holders!!! So in her creative mode she decided to make ice cream cone cupcakes!!!
I so extremely impressed!! I don't think I would have been that creative and thought of using the ice cream cones that we already had, maybe it was the lack of brain power or maybe the pain killers I am on haha, either way, they turned out great and Matthew was so excited. She even got up early before work with enough time to frost them for me!! What can I say, I love my mum!!!
I kept asking him what he wanted for his birthday? All he said he wanted was money, so he could buy a DSI XL, but he was so worried he wouldn't get enough to be able to buy it!! Like I would let that happen hehe....when he got home from school Vanessa gave him his first gift....
MONEY!!! He was quite excited if you can't see it in his HUGE smile :) Really they do love each other LOL
Then his gift from Mommy, Nana and Grandma Pinky...
As you can see, he got MONEY :) Last night at dinner he got a gift card from Aunt Jessica and Eva...
He got enough for his DSI XL and a game....him and Papa left early for Cub Scouts so they could stop at the store and buy it. When I got home from work, I quickly made his birthday cake. Unlike Vanessa's birthday cake last year, this one didn't end up on the side of the road in a big heap of yuck :)
I am so proud of Matthew, he is such an amazing, caring guy. Can't wait for Sunday to see him get baptized!!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY BUG!!!
