Melissa's sister-in-law makes delicious cakes that look great. She made Leah's cakes for her 1st birthday and Tom said it was the best cake he had ever tasted. So I asked Melissa to ask her sis-in-law to make Tom's cake for me. Tom was so anxious to eat it, he cut it before we could get a picture! It was delicious and smelled good and looked great. Check it out:
We had a great time playing with Leah. She is growing like a little weed! She is such a happy baby. At one point, Katie gave her a toy dog to play with. Tom was playing with her and tried to take it from her. 
She grabbed onto it with both hands and was pulling to make sure he didn't take it from her. It was so adorable!!
I asked Melissa to bring her niece with them because Katie enjoyed playing with her at Leah's birthday party. She brought both nieces and they had a great time. They jumped on the trampoline, played with the hose, got dirty, fought and made up, etc. I asked Katie if she enjoyed her day with Gracie and Emma, she said "Definitely!"Tom's parents were the last to leave and Katie jumped on Tom's dad's shoulders. He was picking at her acting like he was going to shake her off. She holds on tight.
Tom had to peel her off of him when they got ready to leave and she was trying to take his head with her. She is so tough!It was great to be able to use my kitchen again. It is almost done. We still have to install the counter tops. Lowe's called Thursday and said they were in but we haven't picked them up yet. We have to borrow a truck and trailer from Tom's cousin to pick it up. Tom is determined to install it himself. He is going to paint the plywood that he put under the washer and dryer also. Then we will be done!! He used appliance paint and spray painted the oven door, which had an ugly 70's burnt orange color, and the dishwasher door, which had a beige door. His dad thought we bought a new oven. Tom did a great job painting it!
I'm posting a picture of the oven and dishwasher so you can see how great it looks but not posting any other pictures until the kitchen is completely finished.

Wow the dishwasher and oven do look new. Did ya'll get a new loveseat as well? I saw tom's mom and dad sitting on it and i don't remember it LOL It's nice looking. Tell Tom that J'Nette and I send lots of sisterly love for his birthday!
It's actually a chaise lounge chair. My friend, Tammy, moved in with her fiancee and needed to sell her furniture. I would have liked to have the matching sofa but it was huge and honestly I doubt we would have gotten it in the house. We barely got the chaise through the door. We needed more places to sit now that Jessica is here. She took over Brittanie's spot so I bought Brittanie a new spot and she loves it. She and Randy cuddle on it. lol
