The Best Birthday Ever

 

Our Dave had a birthday today and woowee, it was a good one! For starters, we had amazing bacon and french toast (Dave made it because that's what happens when your are the best at it, birthday or no). Em and Andrea joined us  for breakfast and then we all headed over to THE BIGGEST TRAMPOLINE GYM IN THE USA. There we jumped our little legs off with friends and family.

we made this video of it: 

*the song we put it to is a mash-up of the little mermaid and a song we first heard when we were first dating and went into this ghetto-fabulous store in Provo called Gen-X, "Booty Rockin'"...it's classy.

Oh my. One might wonder why one would go anywhere else for one's birthday! I've heard grownups actually have cocktail parties or such for their birthdays, buuuut, this was better. Hands down. Should you decide to go, I would recommend taking a baby with you, as it gives you an excuse to take a break from jumping - wears you right out!

Riley did not appreciate the interruption for a family picture.

Our daredevil just figured she'd jump off this six-foot ledge into the foam pit. Dave snagged her and lowered her - she probably would have sunk under the foam if she'd had her way and jumped.

 After the gym we headed over to a nearby park for pizza and play before heading home for a nap. While everyone was asleep I went to Coldstone's with my sisters and we had a nice visit - gotta love sister time! Then to finish the day, Suzette, Don and Jake came for birthday dinner and cake.

A day you get to spend with lots of loved ones, playing and laughing and eating together - that's a good day! And our birthday boy deserves every bit of it. He makes the world a better place all the time with his goodness, love, and faith (in God and people - seriously, he is the perfect balance for my worry-wort self), and that day 32 years ago was one lucky day for the world, let me tell you!

Happy Birthday, Dave!
We love you!
