Mr. B is 35!

Wow, that's halfway to 70!!! I hear it's all downhill from here.....LOL!!!

Yesterday was Mr. B's birthday, and it also turned out to be a rather eventful day!!  Which I'm sure just shocks you all ;p

First and foremost while it was Mr. B's birthday yesterday we are in fact not actually celebrating until today.  Boo had to be at school super early (6:15 am) for a pre-game breakfast meal & worship and had his first game last night so we didn't get home until really late (more about that in the next post).

Mr. B did have the day off so we (he & I, as the kids were in school) were able to hang out for the day, and that's always nice.  We went to a burger burn at lunch for his work...and boy did things get wild around there!

Turns out there are a few Airmen who were more then happy to drop their $$$ to make sure that Mr. B got a pie in the face!  Happy Birthday to him, huh?!  The 'pie' consisted of mainly chocolate & carmel syrup with a bit of whip cream.
This Airman was more than happy to drop $$ to be the one to actually hit Mr. B with the pie...wonder what Mr. B did to him?!  LOL


Hit with a Pie in the Eye, with a rub in the hair to top it all off

A big sticky mess

You know he's dying inside with his OCD issues, LOL!

His work center did buy him 2 cakes and sing Happy Birthday to him as well, so I guess that makes up for the 'Pie in his Eye' LOL!

When we got home Mr. B made an attempt to make a Red Velvet Cake, I had gotten the recipe from a friend.  I did help him but I had gotten a call from a friend earlier in the day saying that she was going to need help packing/moving today & tomorrow so I was trying to spread the word and get a few things taken care of.

I do have to say that the cake is very YUMMY but it sure looks UGLY!! I guess that's why you can't judge things by how they look....

We made a 'mini' version for yesterday and a bigger one for today...we didn't complete the big one yet...not sure if we will....

The front

The back

The scary looking big version


We had a few things working against us with the cake, first being that we're often liberal with the directions.  Your supposed to cook it in layer pans, but we decided to be lazy and just do a sheet pan and a small bread loaf pan...as you can see from the results above...not the best idea.  Then it called for cocoa and Mr. B found that we had none so he used hot chocolate, I'm pretty sure any real 'chef' might've spanked him for that one, LOL!  Despite these issues it was 1) edible and 2) delicious so all is well!

Next up was Boo's first Varsity game of the season, obviously he wouldn't be playing but we wanted to go and support the team and school, I'll blog about that in the next post.
