Teddy Turns 9!

Wow, it's been ages since I've updated my blog! I didn't know it had been that long. Maybe I'll pick it back up again, or maybe I'll just stick with FB. Right now I'll just share some pictures of Teddy at his recent birthday party. JoJo was lucky enough to have a birthday during an agility trial, so he got to party with friends. Since we were out of town for the Independence Day holiday, Teddy got to have his party with our family. With the whole family in attendance, I thought I would do it up big, so Teddy got his very own "fabulous" birthday party. :)

I even made poodle cupcakes for the humans from an idea I found on this website: http://www.kitchendaily.com/2011/01/07/pretty-in-pink-poodle-cupcakes-cupcake-decorating/. Here are my versions of these.
I did do a few things differently from the website. I left off the coconut shavings because I think coconut is disgusting. I also found these adorable little candy eyes in the party supply store. And for the nose, I used black gel icing. Other than that, I pretty much followed what was recommended.

There's my sweet birthday boy! And here he is playing with one of his most favorite of toys, the Dr. Pepper bottle.
And lastly, here is his real present, a racoon. 
Happy Birthday to my sweet Teddy, the one who changed the course of my life and has taught me so much! I hope this next year brings more fun and laughter!
