Happy Birthday Dan!

Happy 31st birthday my dear best friend! We kicked off Dan's birthday Thursday night with our good friends Ben and Ashley Chappell. They smoked a whole turkey- YUM! and surprised Dan with cheesecake. Ashley told their 2 year old son Reagan to tell Dan- You're old Dan! and also noted that two packages of candles were required to get to 31.
Friday, Dan's official day of birth, we did some shopping- for Cameron as it is way fun to buy baby toys, we also renewed our fishing/hunting licenses for the upcoming fishing season, and we took Jaxson to planet play. It would have been lame for just Dan and I, but Jaxson ran all over the place and we played arcades and drove go-karts. We have the "pass of all passes" so we got in for only a dollar a piece.

Mom and Dad treated us to a birthday dinner at Olive Garden.
We were going to continue celebrating by doing lunch and the planetarium with Ty and Kristen Saturday, but poor Cameron was sick with a stomach bug throwing up and diarrhea all day. We stayed home and napped and cuddled.

Today, we were also going to keep celebrating by having Dan's favorite dinner and dessert courtesy of Mom's good cooking, but Dan woke up with chills and the same tummy bug Cam had. Cam is mostly better today, so hopefully Dan wakes up feeling better tomorrow!

I am so grateful for this man. He is an amazing husband. My love for him changes and grows immensely with each passing year. We have had so many trials and blessings together- and through each one, a new appreciation for each other emerges. 

The latest new appreciation is watching him become and grow as a father. He is amazing with Cameron. 

I love our little family! Happy Birthday Babe!
