so I like pink cupcakes.

A few birthday highlights:

They're gorgeous, aren't they? (the cupcakes, I mean)


I like to wear my birthday hat unicorn-style!

I feel like, in this picture, I look like the wicked queen in Snow White (a stylish blonde version please) offering you an apple (cupcake).

Pink cupcakes - cherry chip to be quite specific - are all I asked for for my B-day. It's not all I got, but it's all I asked for. I also received the orange half of the yellow and orange slip n' slide, which my dear father gave to us and REQUIRED that we test it out to show him our appreciation. 8pm in the shade is not very warm, I don't care if its June. My participation is not documented. But I swear to you, it happened. Just imagine RT in the middle of the family BBQ, and that's how wonderful it was.

The twin bro:




My darling husband Rhett:


Ginger the master mind-melter, politely asking for a taste of my food:


And, in true big-brother style, here's Nate blowing out all but one of the candles. He started before the birthday song was over! You can see the disappointment written all over my face.

Maybe the rest of you have never had to share your birthday candles. But in twin-land, that's bad form.

A few choice shots of Nate breaking in the slip'n'slide:


(he's totally hogging my orange side)

  1. Cherry Chip...Mmmmmm! Nate likes pink cupcakes too? Nice. You guys do birthdays in style...Slip n' Slide and all. That just makes a BBQ complete!

    Happy birthday, my friend! Sorry that I missed it. But I think of you often and love you so much! Here's to an awesome 28th year. YAY!

  3. Aargh! Why must Nate ALWAYS hog EVERYTHING...your side of the slide AND the candles on the cherry chip cupcakes?

    I love that you guys went old school this year and shared your birthday again.
