Pictures of Kai's Train mini cakes
Finally I am posting the pictures of the mini train cakes that Kai decorated for his fourth birthday. Jimmy also made him a special little chocolate cake.

week 21
We spent the weekend in Michigan visiting with family. It was my in-laws 50th wedding anniversary! I think that it is amazing and inspirational that couples can stay together forever. I know Jimmy and I will have a 50th celebration too, with our children and grandchildren.
Our children got to spend some time with their cousins and had a blast! I'm so glad that Kai didn't take to long to warm up to his cousin Bryce. He can be shy sometime. Cassia is still a mommy's girl so she stuck around with me and Jimmy instead of playing with the other kids.
We had dinner at their favorite Italian restaurant. They really had the best thin crust pizza outside of NYC! I had three slices and it was loaded with pepperoni, ham, bacon, bell peppers, mushrooms and onions! I could go for three more slices right now!
Jimmy and I made the anniversary cake. (Strawberry filled vanilla sponge cake with butter cream icing) We served it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for dessert. We also made a sweet platter of fudge brownies, shortbread cookies and gold foil wrapped chocolates.
It was a great trip, just too short for spending time with family. Jimmy is so busy with work all the time, I like it when he has time off to spend with the family. We also don't get to see his sister and her family often. The last time we saw them was three years ago!
I am in my 21st week of pregnancy. All is going well, except I missed the delivery for my medicine yesterday, so now my shot days have to change to Wednesdays. The baby is almost one pound and I am gaining about two pounds a week. Right on track. I am rarely nauseous anymore, but have started to get growing pains where the side muscles ache. I have also become wobbly and clumsy!
My skin is terribly dry and flaky. I bought a new liquid exfoliant and moisturizer from Aveda and my face is no longer flaky!! I used it yesterday not expecting it to work on the first use, but it did!! Thank you Aveda, you have saved my skin again! Last pregnancy their sensitive lotion worked for me, but this pregnancy I needed more hydration so their Botanical Kinetics Hydrating Lotion was a miracle product for me. The Botanical Kinetics exfoliant is liquid and non-abrasive. It has no grainy substance that most exfoliants have. I have no idea how it removed the dead cells, but it did and I'm so thankful. I can see a difference after one use. I love, love, love Aveda products!!
