Damon turned 8



Damon Happy Birthday. I can't believe you are 8 now. Time sure goes by us when we start to look back. You are always happy, helping out others, still just as excited to get a cake and any gifts your family give you. I have been sick for over 4 days and I know he wanted a chocolate cake with white frosting on top. So with my dear friends help of easy suggestions Michelle Roberts now in Arizona. She gave me this idea. Now Damon has loved Dinosaurs every sense he was able to walk. So I am pretty artistic and new that this shouldn't be to hard to do. All went well until the cake cooled and I tried cutting the sections, and it was way to moist and started to fall apart. I then made the frosting and it got runny. I wanted to cry at this point and go back to bed from not feeling good. So I let the frosting go into the areas it needed to go back together and made it run off the dinosaur to look like the ground and dirt. I showed it to Damon and he was so excited, "how did you do that?". "This is the best cake ever" gosh he sure knows how to make a mom feel good - for those who buy cakes, I have ordered them in the past and they look good but he had never said it was the best, so remember the ones made from the heart are more special then the ones ordered! I even made him his favorite dinner Chinese food from scratch. I cleaned his room and rearranged it as my gift and made him a large Birthday banner in his room. He was so excited. It didn't take allot to make this 8 year old have a great birthday ever. He got several new toys - robot transformer things - Biogonds. New shoes and a new scooter. We love you Damon.
