Colt's 29th Birthday!!

Colt turned 29 years old on March 24! We are finally the same age :) I had planned a birthday dinner with friends and a golf weekend for him in Memphis... but after his grandaddy passed away, we did not go up.  I am so far behind on blogs, I feel like I need to blog more on his grandfather's beautiful funeral and all the sweet calls, cards and emails Colt and I have received - thank you all so much.

Tuesday, before Colt's birthday I invited his parents, Ganny, Ami and Maci over for an early birthday celebration and to celebrate Colt's parents wedding anniversary - 32 years!!  I originally planned this because I thought we would be out of town and I wanted him to be with his family.  It was a really nice night, Parker and Maci played so well together and I loved chatting with everyone. It was a mexican theme - Colt's request! (and Parker helped me cook)

Since we did not get to go to Memphis, I still wanted to celebrate Colt's birthday.   So Friday night, I surprised him with a date night to Ruth's Chris (we had a gift card) and a movie of his choice! Sweet Ana was SO great to come and sit at our house last minute while the boys slept so we could go out! We had the BEST meal! We have eaten there several times before and the cream spinach is always good... but that night was the BEST I have ever had.... It is making me want it now! Yum! It was nice night out to enjoy each other and celebrate his birthday.

I got him Alabama Cufflinks!

 I know it does not look good.... but it was SO yummy!! 

Saturday was Colt's actual birthday, so Parker, Beckett and I made him chocolate pancakes (Daddy's request) and had a great day spending time together. After nap, we met his parents and sisters at the park for a picnic.  Then we ended the night with a surprise from Aunt Rosie and Sandra! They came in town to go to Colt's grandfather's funeral.

 Happy Birthday Daddy! 

The last surprise for Colt was his peanut butter and chocolate cake from Dreamcakes! Kaite Moon was so sweet to make it with less than 24 hours notice! The boys and I did not get to stay for cake because Parker started running a fever (he ended up having hand, foot and mouth.)  Long story - short, it was awful!

Happy birthday to my husband, father of our children, and 'my life'. 

I love you and thank God daily for you!
