Happy Birthday, Daddy!

Bethany has been talking about daddy's birthday for well over a month. She had BIG plans to bake daddy peanut butter cupcakes for his birthday. As you all know, Brian is a big fan of peanut butter cups. So, Bethany and mommy put our heads together and came up with a special cupcake recipe with a peanut butter surprise in the middle. We had a super fun morning sneaking around the house and taste testing our recipe. Thank you Bethany for a fun morning.

After the kids got out of school, Tim & Casey babysat for us so that Kelden & I could take Brian out to dinner at a Sushi restaurant. (Both families agreed that dropping off 4 children would be a little too much. Kelden did great for us.)

Thank you so much Tim & Casey for the hour and a half of alone time. It was awesome! You guys are the BEST!

Before bedtime the kids gave Brian their gifts. They all had so much fun picking out a couple of small inexpensive gifts. Their creativity was GREAT!

Bethany- a snake bite kit & sunglasses

A few days ago, Brian shot a rattlesnake 4 ft. from his foot while on a fishing trip with Bethany & Keagan. Thank goodness he was leading the way and stumbled upon it first. Thank you Lord Jesus for protecting my family!

Keagan- 2 fishing lures & a fold-down camping shovel.

Hailey-a camping tool for toasting toast & daddy's favorite candies.

Brian,

You give so much to all of us not expecting anything in return. You have provided us with a wonderful home and a comfortable living. You give of yourself time and time again to wipe a running nose, change a dirty diaper, rock a fussy baby, tie a shoe, repair a bike, fix a broken toy, help with a homework problem, run a errand or two and yet we do not take the time to thank you enough. Thanks for being our HERO! You are a wonderful husband and an even better father. We wish you a very happy birthday and a relaxing day!

Happy Birthday, Daddy!

We love You!
