cade's ipod cake
cj (what he prefers we call him, but we always forget) turned 9!! when he was 6, he asked for drums. we said no. rob came up with the magical number of 9, and for the last 3 years, cade has not forgotten. so you guessed it, cade got them. of course, rob and i being the mean parents we are, wrapped up a bottle of mtn dew (he's always wanted one of those too) and presented him with that gift. needless to say, he was disappointed, and just before the sadness got out of hand, we handed him the wrapped snare drum, let him open it, and then brought in the rest. it was then that we heard that it was "the best birthday of his life!" the chaos immediately started, mostly with luke wanting to play the drums and FREAKING out when he couldn't. we then had the family over, enjoyed cade's "ipod" cake, and will conclude with his friend party friday at 'jump on it'. cade also officially started drum lessons yesterday, and sounds great already. i can now live vicariously through cade, because ever since the 80's movie 'some kind of wonderful', i have secretly wished i could rock out on those things!
