I am months of blog posts behind... and the only time I remember to update is on birthdays. So because today is Augie's birthday, I will do his birthday first and all the missing updates later. :)
Augie turned seven today... my baby! Seven years old! It's crazy how time goes so fast.

| This is my happy birthday boy! |
His favorite video game is Skylanders, and the new game, Skylanders Giants, came out just a few weeks ago. He probably knew he was getting it for his birthday, but it was fun to make him wait and anticipate for weeks to actually get and enjoy the game.
We made his cake to look like a Skyland (floating islands) and the portal that "brings to life" the characters in the game. I placed the cake on an overturned cake package to make it look like it was floating. Abby helped me with the frosting. We placed one of his new figures on the top of the cake. It was a fun cake, and pretty simple and stress-free, too.

| Abby wrote "Skylanders" in frosting on a graham cracker. |
He had a lot of fun gifts. Abby made a rubber band gun from a stick and clothespin. :)

| Legos from Grammy... Always fun! |
 |
| And the grand prize... the new Skylanders Giants game! |
 |
| He loves Easy Cheese so I got him his own bottle. |

| A Skylanders sack-pack filled with goodies |
 |
| A super hero Lego from Grammy. He also got a cup, a watch, and a card, and some erasers. |
He said, "I tried to smile my biggest," for these pictures. He is bubbly and happy today and it's a pleasure to celebrate this special day with him!
