Noah is going through an Army phase (at least I hope it is a phase). He loves army/war anything. I know it is partly because Chris's brother (Uncle Scott) just returned safely (thank God) from his tour in Iraq. We had an Army b-day party last year, Noah plays for hours in his room with those $.99 cent plastic army men, and plays war games on his PS2. So for his b-day, Chris picked up an official Iraq uniform (like Uncle Scott wore) in a kid size. He even had his brother get patches. It was wonderful to see his face when he opened his gift. To say he was thrilled is an understatement. It is his new favorite outfit and wants to wear it everyday. Uncle Scott even sent Noah his own 1st Cav patch. Noah wouldn't smile when I took the pics, he was in full army mode.
In addition to everything army, for Boy Scouts, we had to make a vehicle cake. Noah decided he wanted a tank cake. So, after looking online, I got a general idea of what to do and we went to work. Noah and I had a blast making it and it ended up looking way cool. We ended up winning first prize and brought $16.00 to Boy Scouts of America.

Very cool! Love the official look, Noah. The 1st Cav patch is cool too, didn't know you could just buy kid size uniforms and all. His party looks like it was a lot of fun. Chris makes a great mad scientist!
Also, it's good you captured Jonah in drag now and not later. Hopefully these will be good blackmail pictures for later and not a premonition. J/k! It's cute he looks up to his sister. I'm sure my little boy won't have much of a chance with two older sisters showing him the ropes.
Reiterating the fact that you are always amazing me...cakes, parties, notes, gifts, etc.
Secondly, when did Noah get so tall?so grown up? How did those ten years pass so fast? Have I really known you for twenty? (or more?)
What a cute cake! You are so creative. How special that Noah and you could spend time making it together. :o)
Isn't it fun to see the phases they go through?
