Happy Birthday Blake!

Happy Birthday Blake!!!


It was Blake's birthday March 4th and our little family had a family home evening/birthday celebration for him. Now if you ask why on Monday when his birthday was on a Wednesday that's because I had a surprise for him and it would be with the girls. So we had ribs and American Beauty cake (red velvet) for his dinner. His birthday present was a new gun...ya he picked that one out!

I'm not sure the picture of him and girls with the gun is my favorite...
And Then... We went to Disneyland for his real birthday :) It was a total surprise. He new we were doing something fun for his birthday...cause i had to ask him for money... but he didn't know it would be this :)

We came down to Salt Lake on Tuesday March 3rd because he had to take his Utah insurance test, which he passed congrats love!, and he thought I had a couple errands to run. Well after i dropped him off at the testing center I ran my girls up to my wonderful sister-in-law April's house to stay while we were gone. Then raced back to pick him up. Our plane was leaving @ 2:30 so we had to be there at least an hour early since we were flying stand-by. (thanks Mom!) My plan was to blind fold him and pick up my dad so he could take the car after we were dropped off at the airport but he said he would be sick...GREAT!!! Should I tell him now that we are going to a theme park for his birthday?... he was a little surprised to see that the girls were now with me when I picked him up and then when we went to my dad's work to pick him up he new that meant we must be going to the airport. Why else would we pick someone up and head in that direction. Blake even told me as we neared the airport exit on the freeway.."shouldn't we get off here" smart Alic! :) but at least he didn't know where we were going. We flew into San Diego and Natalie picked us up and we stayed at there apartment. Thanks Nat and Brian!!! I got to see the brand new little one Annie Jane. Anyway...We woke up bright and early Wednesday and drove to the happiest place on earth...DISNEYLAND!
We had so much fun! He got in free cause it was his birthday. He got a big button that sayed Happy Birthday Blake and every worker who saw it wished him a happy birthday. I forgot my camera...of course... so these pictures are from my phone that's why they aren't the best of quality. It was a little rainy- more misty the whole day but it kept the crowds down and the temp nice.
This is us on space mountain:
We ate at the Blue Bayou for lunch...YUMMY $80 later. We won't be doing that with the kids! Or really ever...but a wonderful place!!!
I hope you had fun Blake cause I did! He said he's going to surprise me for my Birthday with a fishing trip... This trip was totally for you not for me :) wink wink nudge nudge
