He's 3!!

Well although Jacob has looked like he was three for sometime now we just celebrated his 3rd birthday. We decided that we would have a nice family celebration for his birthday and that I would make his cake from scratch!! I found a really cool cake idea from a web search for a construction cake and I thought it would be really great for Jacob since he loves construction vehicles. It took some time but it was fun and it definitely challenged me. I have never made frosting from scratch but it was super easy and was yummy and I know now that I never want to use store bought frosting again. The last few weeks we have been spending a good amount of our time outside since fall is in full swing and also since Jacob got his power wheels Jeep for his birthday. We also have been playing at the nearby park, pumpkin patch and playing with his new T-ball set. In the spring we have plans to get Jake involved in a youth soccer team.

This is the inside of the cake which I think turned out great, I made 2 separate cakes, a yellow and chocolate cake and cut them so that they resembled caution tape!

I took a picture of the monogram letter wreath that I made for our front door, I really like the way it turned out thanks to Pinterest for the idea!

Halloween is just around the corner and Jake will be dressing up as a police officer and he is super excited. Tonight we carved our pumpkin, the shapes on his face were at the request of Jacob and I think he made excellent choices.
