Happy 15th Birthday Tyler

Today was Tyler's real birthday.--we celebrated a little early last week at the cousin's halloween party.
I made a yummy chocolate cake and then went shopping to try and find him some new shoes.  The store didn't have the shoes he wanted so after going to 4 more stores, I just came home and took Tyler with me to the mall to pick out some of his own.   I also got him a new indoor Basketball.  Ok I never realized how expensive leather basketballs can be.  I dropped $60 in nothing flat!




We went to Olive Garden for Tyler's birthday dinner.  We like to let the kids choose where they want to go on their birthday.  He ordered the tour of Italy, so that he could have lasagne, chicken parmesean and Fettucine Alfredo.

The BEST Chocolate Cake
1 box devil’s food cake mix
1 small pkg Jello instant chocolate pudding mix
1 C sour cream
1 C canola oil
4 eggs, beaten
1/2 C milk
1 tsp vanilla
2 C semisweet chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a large bow mix together all the ingredients except for the chocolate chips.  Stir in the chocolate chips. Pour batter into a buttered and floured cake pan.  I used two 9-inch pie pans.
For cooking time, use the cooking times on the back of the cake box as a guide and add about 10 minutes to that. Check for doneness using a tooth pick.)
Buttercream Frosting
1 C butter
4 C powdered sugar
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/3 C heavy whipping cream
In a mixer cream butter until fluffy. Add sugar and continue creaming until well blended. Add salt, vanilla, and whipping cream. Blend on low speed until moistened. and then beat at high speed until frosting is fluffy.


Happy 15th Birthday Tyler
