First Birthday Highlights

Snuggles turned one on Saturday! We were going to have some friends and family over for a BBQ, but due to a couple of our kids still being sick, we had to cancel. We still had a nice little birthday party just the same. Here are a few pictures from his big day.

The Birthday Boy:

A Turtle Shaped Cake:

Or rather, a whole bunch of cupcakes decorated to look like a cake! 😉

All 5 of our children:

What IS that?

Snuggles needed help blowing out that candle:

Did you notice that concerned look on his face in the last picture? Was it just too much attention on him? Or maybe my awful attempt at cake decorating scared him… He wasn’t too happy about getting the frosting on his fingers! Whatever it was, he did NOT like it. It took about 20 minutes for him to calm down and taste his cake!

He did however love his presents, especially the tissue paper:

Happy Birthday my little one year old!

    Happy Birthday Snuggles! He’s a cutie!

    We have yet another thing in common – I too have baked a turtle birthday cake! It was requested by Sunshine for her 4th birthday. She has wanted a pet turtle for two years now.

    The fish (3rd fish) just died so maybe we should give a turtle a try this time!

    I think your “cake” is awesome! If you are putting that down, I think I’ll never, ever post a cake I decorate. Oh wait, I don’t decorate cakes.

    Happy Birthday, adorable Snuggles!

Prayer of Mothers

Father in heaven, grant me the grace to appreciate the dignity which you have conferred on me. Let me realize that not even the Angels have been blessed with such a privilege—to share in your creative miracle and bring new Saints to heaven. Make me a good mother to all my children after the example of Mary, the Mother of your Son. Through the intercession of Jesus and Mary I ask your continued blessings on my family. Let us all be dedicated to your service on earth and attain the eternal happiness of your kingdom in heaven. Amen.

A Little About Me

Hi! I'm Jessica, a Roman Catholic wife and home educating mother to our nine children. I was home educated myself, along with my eleven younger siblings. I have a special devotion to St. Therese, through whom I have been given much help and many blessings--the beautiful "Shower of Roses" that she has sent my way! Here I will record a few of the blessings I treasure. Please remember that what you see here is just a little glimpse at our lives, so please say a prayer for us, as we continue to strive for holiness.
