Aaron’s nineteenth birthday is today, but we celebrated yesterday with a trip to Morehead State University to watch him march with The World’s Most Dangerous Drumline, then dinner at my mom’s house in Lexington. It was a beautiful day for a football game and this was the first time we’d seen the band’s full show – it was spectacular!
My step-father, Greg, had made a pot of chili, which was delicious! If I can get him to share his recipe I’ll post it. Later we were lucky enough to have my Aunt Beverly’s Red Velvet Cake (Aaron’s favorite).
I hadn’t looked carefully at the candles I’d bought, though, and it turned out they were the kind that throw sparks and are extremely difficult to blow out. The up side is I actually got several good pictures of Aaron blowing out his candles – maybe I’ll start buying that kind for every birthday!

Happy Birthday to Aaron! So glad you got to celebrate together!
Thanks, sweetie! I hope this next week is better for you!
Fun. : ) So, what exactly is involved with the World’s Most Dangerous Drumline? How dangerous is it?
I too love red velvet cake!
They have actually copywrited “The World’s Most Dangerous Drumline” at MSU! I think it’s a teenage guy thing, you know “We’re so good we’re dangerous!” but it cracks me up, so I use it all the time
Maybe if we both beg Greg for his chili recipe he will finally fold and give it to us. He is the dearest man.
Yeah, he’ll hand it over just to keep us from nagging him – good plan!
I had Aaron on my mind all day yesterday. Seems like it was just yesterday that he was born. I am so proud of the young man he has become.
Angie, he’s 19, those things just were not on his mind. It was that red velvet cake he was thinking about Ha! He is a good fellow though, and I’m very proud of all he is accomplishing — you and Michael have done a great job. Congrats!
You are right – he was pretty focused on that cake!
