Jonas got a birthday package from his Grandpa & Grandma Benson:
Gregg turned 33!
We had a steak dinner at home that night and I made his favorite yellow cake with chocolate frosting. Mmmmm. I'd love to have a piece of that right now. The cake I mean. Though Gregg looks very delicious, too. We also went to a movie -- I think it was Avatar. Gregg had seen it but wanted to see it again. We both loved it.I apologize in advance for the following brag fest:
I made this wallet for my sister for her birthday. I'm pretty proud of it. I'm a self taught sewer, so anytime I actually finish a project, and it turns out at least somewhat decent, I'm very happy. If anyone is interested, I bought the pattern from jennalou.com.On just some random day, I was blow drying my hair while the boys were hanging out in my room. Mack came in and helped himself to a band-aid. I could see that neither he nor Jonas were hurt, so I didn't think much of it, and continued with the hair drying (which takes way too long these days - I need a haircut). After I finished with my hair, Mack came running in saying, "Look, mommy, I fixed it. All better," and led me to the other side of our bedroom to show me this:
This gash had been in the wall since we moved in and we just hadn't got around to patching it up. To Mack's future wife: I promise to try to teach Mack some more advanced home improvement techniques.

HAHA, love the bandaid. And the cake/Gregg comment made me laugh as well. Fun post.
LOL too funny... all of it ;)
I love reading your blog :D
GREAT job with the present, btw :)
I'm jealous.... I hardly ever finish those kind of projects LOL
what a smartie mack is!! i LOVE my wallet & get lots of compliments on it :) someday i'll learn to sew. good march.
Shel, that is so funny. I really did LOL and you know how I hate to type LOL! ha ha. Mack is such a funny guy!
That cake is awesome. I think we love the same things because a steak dinner and yellow cake with chocolate frosting is exactly what I would consider the perfect birthday dinner!
By the way, my kids also use up my bandaids, but not nearly as cute. If i yell at them to go to bed and it hurts their feelings, they cry and say "get me a bandaid" I guess bandaids make them feel better. and don't call child protective services, I don't yell every night. More like ever other night.
I love the wallet! It is adorable, nice job! Love Mack's handyman skills too! That is so funny!
yellow cake with chocolate frosting sounds soooo GOOD right now. Good job on the wallet. That is incredible. I think I might check out that website and try to make one for myself. My check book is like 8 years old and its just those free ones that wells fargo gives you when you open an acct. SAD :( Mack is quite the handyman! You have such adorable boys.
That cake looks divine right now! YUM!!! I'm really impressed with your sewing skills Shell. Man, I thought this far into my marriage I'd be a much better homemaker... sewing, playing the piano, cooking, etc.... DANG, still NOT there!! :) You are awesome and your boys are so cute! All 3 of them ;) Happy bday to Greggers and JoJO. Glad you got to go out on a date! :)
Haha mack! thats hilarious! BTW - FULL bragging rights to you!! that wallet is awesome!
Rochelle you have some serious skills! The wallet and cake are sweet!
Love that! He has already started on his home improvement skills... so impressive! Its been forever. And now that I am in Texas, I actually have time to sit and relax for a minute. Im trying to get back into blogging so we can stay in touch with family. Sounds like you guys are doing good!
I looked at this post again since you haven't updated your blog in a while. The cake looks absolutely divine! I want a piece so bad!!!!!!!!!
