Birthday Boy

As usual, I'm so behind on the blog!  Lots to catch up on!    To start with, last Wednesday was Michael's 30th birthday!!  That's right, Michael is finally in his 30s!!  

We headed to Temple for his birthday weekend.  Michael's Grandpa also has the same birthday, so that Saturday we went to lunch with all of Michael's extended family to celebrate his Grandpa's 94th birthday!   Most of the extended family had never seen Joseph, so it was really fun and he willingly went to whoever wanted to hold him or play with him!

That evening, we had Michael's celebration!  Both of Michael's siblings and their families were there as well as Michael's Grandma.  Jimmy grilled us some yummy steaks and we had all sorts of yummy sides.   Then Michael's mom made (per Michael's request) a yummy cherry pecan birthday cake.  We had a great meal and Michael received some wonderful gifts!   It was a very fun weekend and we had a great time celebrating Michael.  He is so special and a blessing to so many people and it was great to focus on him for his special day.  And the best part was he seemed so happy and said many times how much fun he had and that the party was just what he wanted - so that made me happy!

On his actual birthday, since it fell on a Wednesday, we went out to dinner for some mexican food at a little local place we go to a lot.  Then since he "only" got 2 pieces of his birthday cake over the weekend, he asked for another cherry pecan birthday cake, so I made him one that day.  Michael's sister Lauren and her husband Luke joined us for dinner, so it was a nice evening!

Here are pictures from the birthday celebration in Temple:

The party begins!

So glad he is finally joining me in the 30s!  hehe

Time for cake!

Happy birthday to my incredible husband!

Making a wish

He got a new fishing pole from Lauren & Luke and can't wait to use it!

I gave him the miter saw on the left, and Joseph gave him the tool kit (that he is playing with) as well as a new cover for the gas grill.   :)
