About 2054 Miles

In February 2007, my husband and I packed up all our belongings, drove 2054 miles and moved from California to Iowa. This blog is about my and my husband's adventures, which mainly now feature our two boys- 5 year old Rex and 3 year old Wyatt.

Birthday Preparations

I have been meaning to order Rex's birthday cake for a few days now and it finally made on to my must-do-today list. Luckily, sometimes procrastinating pays off. While I was feeding Rex his lunch, I remembered about this little purchase I made.



I bought this dinosaur cake pan months ago to use for all his birthdays. He may not want another dinosaur cake when he turns 15, but he is going to get one just like he did on the previous 14 birthdays! I took a cake decorating class once upon a time and I did not enjoy it so it will be interesting to see how this all turns out and if you can even tell it is a dinosaur. Rex and I ventured out to Target today for a few items which included some birthday decorations and plates. I wanted to get him a special first birthday t-shirt but waited too long. Procrastination came in handy again for me though- Rob reminded me that we have the iron-on sheets that go in the printer and I can make Rex's shirt myself. Now I just need to pick up a few more presents for him and we will be all ready for Rex's first birthday on Saturday.

It's been raining here quite a bit lately and Rex and I have been either missing some of our walks or getting sprinkled on during them (we go on 2 a day), neither is very fun. We took some pictures this morning while we were waiting for a little shower to pass.

Hi Shelby,
Its your old buddy, Joe. I lost track of your email address and blog. I finally found your blog today by googling 2054 mile and first found one of your friends blogs.

Rex has grown so much! You all look great!

I was laid off from my temporary position with the city, due to budget cuts, back in February.

I have dsl at home now. It would be nice to hear from you...if you have time. joseph-simone@att.net
