Happy 70th Birthday Grandpa F

 Grandpa F (Bekah's dad) turned 70 on Memorial day. We have a BBQ every year to celebrate his birthday, but after the we ate, we surprised his with a party of family & friends to stop by for cake.

 The cake was huge. We suggest not to eat the black frosting or it will turn your tongue, teeth, and lips black.

 We had a photo booth to take silly pictures. Here are some cute ones.

Cookie Monster Cake!

The Cookie Monster Cake! For the longest time, Bekah couldn't get an idea of what kind of party we should throw for Kaylen turning 2. Since she can't decide or really tell me what she wants, she gets what we pick. Bekah finally picked to make a cookie monster cake. It was pretty simply, just needed a lot more frosting that we had expected which meant going to the store a few more times. Kaylen loved to look at the cake, but wouldn't eat it.
 It only took 1 1/2 hours to frost the cake, and frost 50 cupcakes with the help from Bekah's mom and Brandon of course.

Almost done with frosting the cake.
The cookie monster cupcakes! Brandon and Bekah's mom decorated those.
 When Kaylen first saw the cake, she put her hands right in. Made Bekah scream, and she was scared and wouldn't touch it for the rest of the night. She wouldn't even eat a cupcake. She can only have Western Family cake mix that is yellow or lemon so we chose lemon. Then we made it as planned but instead of eggs we used 1/4 cup of applesauce for each egg. It was super moist. The frosting was Pillsbury fluffy white, which was safe for Kaylen, but she didn't have any of it, not even a lick! Maybe next year!
