Happy Birthday to You!

(Ray, I mean)

Grace just had to get her hand in this picture ;)

36 years old definitely calls for a double chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream frosting, heavy on the butter.

He got a Mike Rowe shirt from my parents, colored with real red dirt (wash before wearing, just sayin')

Photobucket

Elliot got one too.

They are macho twins with dirt colored shirts!

He got a red tie for Abby's wedding. (which he made me return for a different tie, but whatever)

Photobucket

These girls liked the cake! (How do you like my backlight technique?)

I'm learning a little bit about photoshop (elements, people-I'm cheap and an amateur!) It pays to be friends with a pro who can teach you all the tricks!! The below picture is the before. Cool, don't you think?! (what do you think about the eyes Misty? I think the left one might be a little too bright?)

Here's to another 36 years!!

The pictures look great! And yeah, a little heavy on the one eye, but you noticed yourself so that's good. :)

Happy Birthday, Ray!

A couple of things....

1. Ray looks way too young to be 36. I am almost 36 and Ray seems 10 years younger than me!

2. That cake sounds deeeelicious. What I would give for a slice of that right now!

3. Your kids are so adorable!

4. I love keepin' up with your fun family on your blog!
