Ted's party looks wonderful, and the cake looks DELISH! I am SO sorry that your feelings are being hurt this week.. that stinks.
Hope that next week is better!
Ted got a lot of presents.
Your mom is awesome I miss NancyFace. I still make crazy faces in pictures just so I can be in with her awesomeness.
Me+You+Urban+Las Vegas = On our way to DL for the blogger trip? I think so!
lauren, you did awesome on that cake. literally-I was analyzing it, {bc I always analyze and admire what is physically impossible for me to achieve} and all those little swirlys on the cake-impressive! I can't imagine the time into that! Okay, my whole post has been about cake swirls but even so-everything looks extremely aesthetically pleasing and off the hizzle!
And a side note * I am so confused and saddened about people still hurting your feelings! I thought the comment moderators were working. :(
The cake you made is GORGEOUS!! How did you make the swirls on the side??
I'm glad Ted had a great birthday!!
dude. that cake is B-E-A-Utiful. love it.
i'm sorry you're getting your feelings hurt a lot lately. just remember you are the bomb and all of us adore you!!!
hmmm im in suspense about what was in ted's birthday packages piled up next to him...?
lauren, im sorry that ppl are being horrible to you!
idk... do they WANT coal in their stockings for christmas?
That cake looks delish!
I love birthdays! I guess Ted and I share a Birthday week.
I'm sorry people are mean. They are just bored or jealous.
When people are mean to you just pretend you are Peeta and they are Gale. Then you can feel all superior because you are infinity better and they are probably just jealous of your awesome baking abilities.
um ted is so my kinda people cuz i LOVE hawaiian haystacks too! it was my favorite sleepover dinner when i was little. love it.
i love you. that is all.
Love the picture of Ted with his gifts :-) He looks happy and tired.
Aww, I'm 5 months older than Ted. We're the 86er club. lol
that looks like so much fun! i'm sorry people are getting you down. but remember that more than 800 people think you (and your life) are pretty awesome!
I love you too, Lauren! * huggings *
Ted had quite the party. I want two cakes for my 14th birthday party!!!
what a lucky guy!!! you and your mom are so good to do all that! looks amazing!
Happy birthday Ted! That cakes looks DELICIOUS, by the way! :) I am quite envious of your domestic diva skills...seems like you are a fantastic cook and awesome home decorator!!
Sorry about mean people...they stink. Don't let them get you down!
Love to you, and Happy Birthday to Tedward. You both deserve only nice things and nice people. :)
That cake you made looks YUMO!
You have definite cake talent! Red Velvet has always been my favorite!
Boo on the haters!! You are a beautiful daughter of God with a delightful personality and many talents. I feel sorry for those who can only focus on being mean spirited. How miserable they must be inside. Time to unleash the Hippogriff!
That cake is beautiful! Nice job.
And now I want cake. Bad. Because yours looks so yummy. But I still love you anyway. :)
Mmmmm. That cake looks amazing!
I'm so sorry about your feelings this week. You deserve better!
You are darling! And look at that Ted's face! Such a happy guy. How lucky you guys are to have each other. :)
Do you need me to give a word beating to some people in the valley? Cuz I will. I'll be there soon. And I'll sharpen my tongue for the occasion.
happy day to ted! robby missed him. :)
i freakin want that cake. NOW. nom nom nommmmmmmmmm...
(that was me licking the computer screen)
Mmm I'm craving cake now. It looked scrumptious. Glad to know Ted had a good birthday!
oh heeeck hawaiian haystacks are the best.
natalie and lauren sittin' in a tree. p-h-o-t-o-g-r-a-p-h-i-n-g.
:)
Ted's party looked great and that cake looked delicious!!
We all love you busy bee lauren, (I feel like I have to type the whole thing sometimes)dont ever forget that. :) <3
Why do you keep getting hurt!? People are dumb.. Sorry Lauren! Such a happy post and then I got sad. :/
Having a family that you are close with is truly a blessing!
People are lame for hurting your feelings. My mom has always told me that you can't change a person, but you can change how they make you feel. Much easier said than done... Try not to let them get you down!
Looks like a great party! I love all your photos. I was blog hopping and I had to stop and say hi! I hope you have a great, warm and cozy day! xox
Aw, Lauren, who is mean to you??? I will beat them down when I come to mesatown! I love you! You are by FAR my most favorite person of 2009 if that makes you feel any better!
And, wow. That cake is awesome. I LOVE the little swirls on the side. I want to know how you did that. I love birthdays too!
Love you! Hang in there!

As my nephew would say, "Happy day."
Happy Birthday Ted!
Hey you said that you were going to be quitting your job to go to school full time? Are they hiring to fill your position? I need a job!
Hi Lauren!
K I read your post earlier this morning....love the cake!
I've been cleaning like maniac round here and just can't stop thinking about how rude people are. Just felt like I needed to take a break from cleaning and pop in and leave you a quote my friends left me. It's so true yet always easier said than done I know.
"People are often unreasonable and self-centered. Forgive them anyway.If you are kind, people may accuse you of ulterior motives. Be kind anyway.If you are honest, people may cheat you. Be honest anyway.If you find happiness, people may be jealous. Be happy anyway.The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway.Give the world your best and it may never be enough. Give your best anyway.For you see, in the end, it is between you and God. It never was between you and them anyway."-Mother Teresa
Keep doin what your doin!
I'll have to give red velvet another try since you two like it so much. My first experience with it was NOT GOOD.
All I have to say is Pfffffff on those mean people. Don't forget that there are loads of people who love you that aren't a part of your family... including myself.
Lauren, hang in there! I'm so sorry you feel alone. That's not fun AT ALL. Just hang close to the ones that build you up. And if you have to, go private, or stop blogging. Your happiness and spiritual/emotional health is more important than all of this :) Even tho we'd soooooo totally miss you and your spice!!! <3
I love to see the face family party pictures!
Hey.. you have good friends too! :)
Typically I am a lurker on your blog, but today I thought it was time to make a comment.
Whenever I am having a terrible day I always pull up your blog. Not only do the posts make me smile (or out right guffaw/snort laugh and then pray none of my co-workers will realize that horrible noise is coming from my office), but more often than not they get me to take a moment. Step Back and look at my life and all the things I am truly blessed with.
Because of how much you love your friends, family and tedward and the way you talk about them reminds me of how I need to focus on the positives in my life - and that I need to stop getting bogged down in the negatives. You are a type of guiding light for me and I am sure there are other lurkers that feel the same way.
With all the negativity you've been facing lately I wanted you to hear something positive.
Lauren, you are full of the awesomeness! And I will ninja kick anyone that says otherwise.
*hugs*
That cake looks yummy!! What are hawaiian haystacks?
Umm Hello that cake is smokin hot! Pa-lease teache me how to frost like that!! Loves!!
