History of The Cakes

I've been asked, "Why do you refer to your family as The Cakes?" Well, here's how it started...

Before Pat and I were married, my sister Jerriann thought it was funny to call Pat "Patti Cake." And then she said that when we got married we would be Mr. and Mrs. Cake. And it just kind of stuck. We would address letters, emails and presents from "The Cakes."

When we found out we were pregnant with Lane it just continued with, "Oh, now we'll have a little cup cake!"

I don't know, its pretty silly. But for some reason we just keep doing it. So there you go, the story of The Cakes. Just humor us, I guess...

Hey, that's a cute pic of all of you at the park! You didn't show the 4th cupcake. How about a sideways shot of you! LOL!

Hi Jessica! How nice to find you again on the Internet!

That is a really cute nickname for the family.

I hope to get in contact with your mom. I ended up not going to Spokane in 2005 because my son got married, so I missed seeing her again.
