Bradyn Turns 30!

Happy 30th Birthday!

On Thursday, July 10th Bradyn turned 30. At first I thought "Wow, he's getting old" and then I realized that I'm not far behind him and in a little over a year and half I will be 30. That will be a really depressing day for me. Well, Bradyn seems to be handling it just fine and last night we celebrated with all of our friends by inviting them over for a barbeque. It turned out really well I think. There was lots of good food, good friends and the kids all had a blast riding their bikes and playing on the swing set.

Funny story about the cake. Peyton really wanted to get her dad a Scooby Doo cake. So we went to Smith's to order a Scooby Doo cake and was told they didn't do Scooby Doo so her second choice was Cars. When I told the lady to put "Happy 30th Birthday Bradyn" on the Cars cake she looked at me kind of funny and said "really, 30" and I had to explain that it was his daughter's idea. Well, Peyton was really wanting some of that cake and asked if she could stick her finger in the frosting and I told her no. Then half way through the party my sister-in-law Mandy glansed over and saw Peyton cradling the cake on the floor like a baby. So Bradyn gave in and opened up the cake for her to stick one finger in the frosting. She did that and then a minute later she took both hands and run her fingers down the side of the cake covering her fingers with frosting and then took off out the back door before she could get in trouble. After that all the kids were at Bradyn's heels demanding cake. It didn't take much begging to get him to dish up the cake cause he had been dreading everybody singing Happy Birthday to him and blowing out the candles.

Unfortunately, I didn't get any pictures of the cake or of the party cause I was busy taking care of Houston and entertaining. I really wish I could remember to catch these moments on camera more often. Anyways, Happy 30th Birthday Bradyn and we love you!
