That day the boys and I surprised Robby at work with balloons and lunch! (it hinted to his coworkers too that it was his b-day) We went to a nearby park and ate and played for an hour. Fun!
The kids helped me make a cake for Robby, carrot cake... his favorite! (wanna know a trick? lazy lady's carrot cake = 2 c. shredded carrot added to a spice cake mix. viola!) with cream cheese frosting!
I decided to carry on the pennant theme.
Robby requested his favorite... KFC... for dinner! It was delicious!
Then cake!
You could feel the heat!
We sang, then ready, set...
BLOW! (of course Timothy helped!)
Robby decided that we should "camp" as a family for his birthday.
Kind of a trial run for this weekend (the Father's and Sons campout)
Eeek! Only one match left. (that's all he ever needs anyway!)
Our "blue tent" in the backyard!
Spencer helping with the fire.
My Handsome Birthday Boy!
My 3 cute boys!
I was there too...
It wouldn't be camping with out campfire songs.
He is always so good to let the boys help him play!
We eventually got to sleep that night. It took a while for the boys to fall asleep... too exciting. Then Robby and I didn't sleep very well. It was cold, the air mattress was too firm, the boys weren't the most peaceful sleepers, I'm pregnant... but we did it! Now Robby is both more nervous and more excited about this weekend (by himself).
Saturday we went out (our awesome nephew offered to babysit). We went and saw Iron Man 3 at the theater (something we hardly ever do) and even enjoyed a jumbo popcorn! Then while we were at the mall we stopped into JCP and got Robby his Christmas present (new white Sunday shirts)... yes I said Christmas.
It was a wonderful day and I hope Robby felt our love for him.
I love you Robby, SO MUCH! Thanks for being born so we could celebrate you!
Love the banner! You are very brave to camp so early in the season! I hope the boys have a great time at father's and son's. Happy Birthday to Rob!
