I have been a slight slacker about blogging lately and need to catch up these next few days.
First = John's Birthday.
John turned 28 on the 27th of September.
We have been looking lately into getting a backpack carrier for Brooklyn to carry her in when we go hiking or do other things, so that is what John got. We went to REI and he picked out the one he wanted.
We tested it out that night by hiking Ensign Peak.
It was a fun night spent together and Brooklyn loved being in the backpack
We are excited to use it more.
Monday night (the night before John's birthday) we had a dinner with just my siblings to celebrate John's, Pete's (the 24th), and Lindsey's (the 25th) birthdays. We had spaghetti at our house and chocolate cake and ice cream. (Unfortunately, Pete was unable to come last minute).
there are 38 candles on that cake.....28 for John and 10 for Lindsey
On John's actual birthday he had school and work all day, but he was able to get off a little early and meet me at Red Robin (his choice) for dinner. Jeannette watched Brooklyn for us and it was so nice to have the time alone for a couple hours. We picked up Brooklyn and came home so she could give her presents to John.....a big box of oreos and a case of diet DP :)
Sunday (Conference weekend) - we had the Mortensen side over to celebrate his birthday. We had hamburgers and hot dogs and John's cute nieces made him a birthday cake.
That backpack will be nice to have. I'll never forget John's bday now, same day as our anni.
ReplyDeleteI love that John got a backpack... it looks like a lot of fun! It was good times with all the birthdays... Spaghetti, MMMMMM!
ReplyDeleteWhoo hoo 28 years. Happy Birthday John. sounds like so much fun wish we could have been there!
ReplyDeleteYou'll love that backpack. We have enjoyed using ours with Lili girl even though her legs are so long they go to the middle of our knees. The parties sound fun, food delicious and Happy Happy B-day to John. I'll be over for some diet D.P.!
