Jayden's bday

Jayden turned 7 this month.....where oh where does the time fly. He asked for cheesecake for his birthday. I was not doing very well, having been dealing with myself feeling sick and several kids being sick, and then the usual day to day stuff that happens around here. So I copped out and we bought one of those no bake kits and he made his own cheesecake and was very proud of it. As he should be! He still loves to cook and he helped me make stuffed shells last night. And would really like to help every meal, if I had the patience to do it.

Did I mention that he was proud?!

Everyone enjoyed it.

And then there was presents......or a present....poor kid, usually the kids go shopping for each other and some how both Jayden and Amanda's bday snuck up on us and so they didn't get presents from their siblings.......I know I am such a baaaadddd Mom! They survived though.

Max is just ITCHING to get his fingers on the bionicle, but he's really controlling himself. At least in this picture he was.....I do seem to remember hearing several times MAX!!!
