Today Mike is old. He is officially as old as me now. Yes, I know I just admitted that I’m old. I feel every bit as old as I am!
He had a good day, I think. Josh has a presidency meeting every Sunday an hour before church. Usually Mike (if he’s in town) will take him early and then the rest of us will follow later. This morning we all went together early since the girls and I had to be early as well. The kids did really well in their program for Mike. ;) After church we made a quick lunch. The kids didn’t fight or anything. Them being in their rooms while we were cooking had something to do with that I think. :) Then Mike was able to take a quick nap~ his one request of the day. He opened gifts after his nap. He got lots of great stuff…
Homemade magazine rack from Emma…
Homemade crossbow from Josh…
Car tools…
Pans to bake bread on so he doesn’t ruin my pans again…
More care tools…
And finally a back massager for when he gets home late and his back hurts…
After all his impressive gifts, he attempted to blow out the candles on his cake. His cake was not as cool as it’s been in the past. He wanted half German Chocolate (his favorite), and half chocolate (something the kids would eat). Elaina helped me count the candles. I was proud of her for counting so high. :)
It only took two tries to blow out all of the candles. :)
It was really nice to have Mike in town for his birthday. I’m glad his trip was cancelled/postponed. I know that means Halloween will all be on me, but that’s alright. I’ll take him being home for birthdays anytime!

How SWEET!! Looks like he made out like a bandit. What about the gift you called me about? Did you end up not getting it? I just didn't see a picture and was wondering. I think you did a great job with the cake. I'm just glad that you didn't have to use your fire extinguisher to put out that big fire. Mike looks very happy. That is the whole point of birthday's. It's a day to pamper them. I love you, sis.
No. I didn't end up getting the one I asked you about. I figured he would probably like to have some input on that. Maybe for Christmas. :)
