ON-7N

What does this crazy title mean?  It means that my Star Wars obsessed Owen is 7!  Right now Legos (or as he calls them, mini-Legos) and Star Wars are his big obsession and so I decided to make him an R2-D2 cake and he wanted Star Wars cookies to share with his class at school.  They all took a little more work than I originally thought but they turned out great and most importantly Owen loved them. 

Yoda and the Stormtrooper

Darth Vader and Bobba Fett

Owen with the goods.


This is the candle cake.  I had extra cake and fondant and I couldn't bring myself to put candles in R2 so Owen got two cakes.

R2-D2
I made the legs out of rice crispy treats and then covered it all in fondant. 
It was a lot of work, with a fondant mishap thrown in, but I loved the way it turned out.

Chloe really wanted to be in the picture with them.

Owen said he wanted a Lego birthday and that is what he got.  5 Lego sets. 
I am not sure what I was thinking other than I love to see my kids happy. 
Soon we might have enough Lego's to build a new house for us to move into.
276 piece Transport Truck Creator set.

158 piece Ninjago Ice Dragon Attack set.


Lukey was as excited as Owen.

163 piece Star Wars Luke's Landspeeder set.

166 piece Alien Conquest Tripod Invader set.

139 piece Star Wars Imperial V-wing Starfighter set.

All said he got 902 new Legos for me to step on unsuspectingly in my bare feet, two Star Wars shirts, a Star Wars popcorn tin, a few very nice birthday cards, money, a trip to Jokers and Crunchy Tacos from Taco Bell for dinner.  What a haul!

He was able to blow out the candles without passing out and so I guess we will let him turn 7.

Owen is a happy, fun-loving kid.  He loves to be around friends as much as possible and counts his siblings among his best friends.  He loves babies, Wii and playing outside.  He has been working hard and is reading better and better all the time.  Owen has started piano lessons this year and is doing really well.  We are so blessed to have Owen in our family. 

We Love You, Owen!!!
