Happy 34th Matt

Yes, Matt turned 34 yesterday, and no this is not a new pic. Of course, yesterday with dinner and dessert and balloons and presents and all that I forgot to take any pics. But yesterday we did celebrate Matt's 34th birthday.

The kids had a day off for some Bus Furlough Day, whatever that means, so they were home all day. So we decided to start the morning off with some crepes for breakfast, before daddy had to leave for work. Turned out good, even though it was alot of work and took 5 minutes to eat. He is worth it and the kids love to get a REAL HOMECOOKED BREAKFAST every once in awhile, instead of just cereal or eggos.

Then while Dad was at work all day, we made some cards, wrapped a few little presents, went and bought balloons and bought a pie this year instead of cake. Matt is not a huge dessert person, so he is no fun to make cakes for. So we tried a new Reses Peanut Butter Pie from Village Inn. It was pretty good. Pies are not our families favorite dessert, but still pretty good.

Then after I picked up Corey and her cousins from soccer practice, we decided to do dinner at home this year with the whole family, since Matt and I are leaving for Dallas in 2 days and will have plenty of dinners without the kids. So we made daddys favorite....Ribs, baked beans, salad, and some awesome Deseret Industry Rolls. It was a good dinner and the kids even ate. The ribs were awesome. I just bought these pre-cooked pork ribs from Lees....so good. And so short to cook, since they were pre-cooked.

Then we had dad open our cards while we were making room for dessert. This year the kids each gave dad $5 of their own money to spend in Dallas on something he wants to buy. And Casen gave him the new Iron Man DVD he was wanting. And I am saving his present for something I know he will want to buy in Texas. He is so excited for this trip. I am excited it is falling around his birthday, because this is something is has always wanted to do..... Then we made some room for dessert. By this time of night, it was 9:30 and the kids had school the next day. So it was time for the kids to get off to bed and me and Matt to have our "Craved for" alone time after the kids go to bed....no noise, no confusion...just relaxation. It was a fun birthday and we hope he feels special and NOT ANY OLDER....34....WOW HE IS GETTING UP THERE.....CLOSER AND CLOSER TO 40.
