Tatum Turns 3

Our Sweet Tatum turned 3 on February 28th.

We had a really fun party.

We were able to rent the small theater and watch Tangled.

The years have gone by so fast. Our little Tatum is now a big girl.

She loves to play dress-up and put on makeup. She's a smart little gal and has a pretty broad vocabulary. She loves anything girly and pink. Tatum enjoys telling jokes and using her "deep" laugh. She also loves to add the raspberry sound at the end of "Nope" and "Yep". She has a jokester personality just like her Daddy. Tatum has a lot of fans and loves every bit of it.

This is the cake I made for Tatum. I had a fun time making it.

This was a first time Barbie cake for me. I enjoyed doing her hair and making her crown and necklace. This is an actually Barbie just wrapped with plastic wrap. I first baked a cake mix in a bowl not realizing I was supposed to double the recipe. The dress turned out only about 5 inches tall. That was definitely not tall enough for the Barbie to fit inside, so I had to make a quick run to the store and bought a double layer cake to put on the bottom. I'm so glad it turned out in the end. This is really my first fancy frosting experience and I think it turned out pretty good.

I had such a great 30th birthday. Am I really 30? Where has the time gone? I'm excited for my 30's. They are going to be incredible.

Jay made it back just a couple of days before, so we planned a party for the next weekend. On my birthday we went to Tayson's football game, I had lunch with my wonderful girlfriends and then we had a little party at home where Jay and the kiddos spoiled me. Then next Saturday we got a bunch of our friends together for a game night. I made 6 homemade pizzas and everyone brought something to share. We ended up with sore cheeks from laughing so hard. What a great night. I have the coolest family and friends ever.

Jay was so sweet and got the house all decorated. He and the kids got me clothes, shoes and jewelry. I don't know how I got so lucky to have a many who can pick out such stylish things and they all fit perfectly.

Here's Tatum sportin' some of Mom's new shoes and bracelets. She walked around in those shoes like it was second nature. Of course the look wouldn't be complete if she wasn't in her cute undies.

Game night was so awesome. You know when Jay is posing like this, we are having a great time.

Workout with Tony Horton

Tony Horton came to Kadena and did a workout and then meet and greet. It was so much fun. He is just as goofy in real life and I think that made it all the more fun. He definitely kicked all our butts. We did a little bit of every style and then some other new moves. I was super sore the next few days but loving every bit of it.
