Mason's 2nd Birthday and My 1st Quilt

Mason's birthday was April 26th, so this is a little late, but I wanted to show the cake I made for Mason's birthday. We celebrated Mason's birthday a week early since I had my sister-in-law's baby shower to go to on his actual birthday, which is her birthday as well. With the help of my Mom this is how the cake turned out.

We had a nice time with just a little party after Sunday dinner when we were in Moses Lake for a weekend.

I can't believe my baby is 2! It makes me so sad that my children are growing up so quickly.

For Christmas I got a sewing machine and this is the first quilt I've made. I felt so accomplished! This is what I made for my nephew Ender and gave to my sister-in-law, Beth at her baby shower.

Ender was born this last Sunday, May 18th which means all of our special days are now shared with others. Kind of funny!! Tom and I share the same birthday. Jayni and her cousin Eli share a birthday. Mason and Aunt Beth share a birthday. Now we share our anniversary with Ender's birthday.

Beth's husband, Ryan is a pilot so I thought this material was fitting for their family. Plus, I LOVE the colors!!!

I loved how the cake turned out!! It was so cute, and cake is always yummy too! I can't believe Mason is already 2 either.

Love, love the quilt. You did a great job. I've been wanting a sewing project...I find I'm not that creative, or else just picky. I have a really hard time finding fabric I really like!

Happy Birthday Mason!

Happy 6th Anniversary Brianne and Tom! Love you guys!

You guys do definitely share your dates with lots of loved ones. It's a good way to remember their though, right?

The quilt you made is so dang cute (and kind of matches your blog)! I agree with Lou, the fabric is darling! I love to sew but I get so annoyed that I have nowhere to leave it set up when I'm not working on it. Someday, someday.

I peek on your blog all the time, and it's nice to see that you are doing something on it! I can't beleive Mason is 2- you were here when he was born! It's been too long. But keep blogging- because it gives me something to look at on the computer!
