The Jensen's: Finally Got Around To It

It feels like an Eternity since I updated the blog. As most of you know the first few months of Pregnancy don't agree with me. I pretty much spend the day puking. I am 10 weeks now and ready for it to be over. Jon is a trooper he juggles school and work then comes home to be at my beck and call. I do love that man, even though sometimes I have dreams about throwing him out a window, but who hasn't. Anyways we have had a few fun things happen. The first being Jayden's first Halloween! I love Halloween..I make sure all of us dress up for the occasion. This year Jayden was a spider and Jon and I were the poor souls who got caught up in his web. My boys seemed to have had a blast, I wish I could say the same for me, I was to sick to really enjoy it, but I kept a smile on my face for Jayden.

(Halloween 2009)

The next big thing was Jayden's first Birthday!! Now its known through out my family that my mom is the cake guru. I and most of the family have fond memories of her homemade birthday cakes. Well I wanted Jayden to have the same fond memories only I wanted to give it a go for myself. When I told my mom that I was going to make Jayden's cake she seemed surprised, later she told me that she was proud of me for wanting to try it myself. So I went out and bought everything I needed for the job. Now I knew it was going to be a time consuming project but I didn't think it would be hard. At the time I came up with this brilliant plan I did not have the faintest idea that I was pregnant. So the day came to start on the cake and I felt horrible. As I was coloring the frosting I had to stop and puke several times because the smell was overwhelming. Then came the long hours of frosting the cake. A few times I shouted to Jon that I was going to throw this thing away and just go buy one..but I didn't. I don't know how she does it but I can not make a frosting star.When the cake was finished I didn't care what it looked like and threw it in the fridge. I don't think it is my best work but everyone said I did a wonderful job. Now when I look at pictures of the cake I realized that it is not so bad. And I guess I will do it all over again next year.
