Kyle's Birthday Weekend!

Kyle's birthday was on Monday, and he just turned 28! He at first didn't want to have his birthday, and kept saying he was going to give the next three to me so that I could catch up to him. Well, because of this I wanted to make it special for him and I think we were able to make that happen. We were not planning on having it be celebrated over the whole weekend, but he kept saying he felt like the whole weekend was for him. So this is what happened.

Friday - We grilled up some delicious steak! It was sooo good! We also had some yummy grilled pineapple, homemade potatoes, and some asparagus! Kyle couldn't stop talking about how amazing it all was! His steak was the best I ever tasted! Here are some pics.

The final presentation! Kyle always makes it look pretty on the plate!

Saturaday - Early in the morning we woke up and felt good. We had breakfast, Kyle finally got a hair cut, and then we had a primary activity we went to help with. Before the whole thing started, Kyle played Duck, Duck, Goose with the kids, so that is what the picture is of. Later that day we just got some things done around the house. Cleaning doesn't sound like fun, but Kyle was really happy to get it done!


Sunday - I woke Kyle up with a pancake breakfast! I would have made it on his actual birthday, but he leaves really early in the morning on Mondays (around 6am), so I decided to do it before church. Then we just went to church and had a relaxing day!

Monday - His actual birthday! Kyle had to go to work because Mondays are crazy busy for him. But when he came home, I had made a banner so he could see it right when he walked in the door. I went and bought him a couple of shirts (one didn't fit him correctly so we had to exchange it), and he loved Iron Man, so I bought him the first movie. All he wanted was to go see the 2nd movie, but it doesn't come out until May 7th, so I thought I would refresh his memory with the first and get him more pumped up to see the second. I also made him a cake. We saw it made on a show, and he thought it looked so good, so I found the recipe online and made it from scratch. The cake turned out well, the frosting...not so much! So I was very happy that I had a backup frosting that I bought from the store. I also bought him his favorite Cold Stone Ice Cream in a quart size. Here are some pictures of that day.

I made this super quick, I would have made it better and not stuck it up with moving tape, but Kyle was almost home! I think it still turned out pretty good!

The Birthday Boy!

His cake, he thought it was going to start a fire with 28 candles on it! Haha!

He is wearing the shirt I bought him that actually fits!

Here is Kyle making a wish and blowing out his candles!

Tuesday - Kyle went to lunch with his department, including his manager and director. They went to eat Thai food and he liked it a lot. His manager paid for him, and they made him a cake!

Wednesday - We went to the mall to exchange the shirt. We ended up getting him two pairs of jeans, which is what he really needed, and they were on sale for a good deal!

So, it was a great weekend, practically a week of fun. I think he really enjoyed it. And then, next Friday we are going to Kansas City to watch Iron Man 2. We are going to watch it at a theater that also serves food during the movie, it's called Fork & Dine. He has been wanting to check it out, so it should be good. We are excited! We'll let you know how it all goes! Thanks to everybody for wishing Kyle a happy birthday! It meant a lot to him! Love you!!
