dad's birthday

Sunday we left Cedar City and headed for home. Trig slept for a while and talked a lot, I'm not sure what about but her was really loud. Josie complained the entire drive that her tummy hurt; she cried and slept and complained. Finally in Layton she threw up, a lot. She had a high fever and really was a sick lady. It actually worked out perfectly because Dean and I had debated on just driving all the way through or stopping at my parents. Because Josie had thrown up we had to stop. I told Dean to run in and start the tub and I would bring Josie. 

I had planned a surprise birthday party for him but he missed the surprise cause he just ran straight for the bathtub. When he came out he realized what happened and the party started. (I still bathed Josie and started some laundry and washed the car seat for the second time in two days). Anyway we had grandma great's famous cake and banana splits. Thursday Josie picked out some toy horses for her dad and wrapped them. We talked about surprises and not telling him but right when he walked in the door she said, "Dad, you know what we got you two horses". So much for a surprise. She was so excited for his birthday and was so serious while wrapping the gift. 

Dean and I were both really sad that Josie was so sick for the party, she loves birthdays. She still gave Dean his gift but she just wasn't as excited as she would have been if she wasnt' sick.  

 Because I'm a super cool wife and spent a ridiculous amount of money on Klim pants and gloves for Dean, and I really do mean a ridiculous amount. But he swears they make all the difference. Really cause when he takes me snowmobiling with him I wear snow pants from the DI and may or may not just be a thick pair of warm ups and I'm still alive. Anyway he got his wish.

I also bought him this movie, because it was going to be the only gift I got him but good thing it wasn't because when he unwrapped it, he looked at it confused and said not thanks but "what inspired this"? Clearly he wasn't impressed.

Josie fell asleep again and then took another bath. The kids used the decorations for entertainment. Mike taught the boys to Indian leg wrestle. Then there was some wrestling.

Monday was Dean's actual birthday. The kids made signs for him but because we just got home we didn't do much partying. I told the kids to hold up their signs so I could get a picture.
