PARTY TIME!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY YA BIG STUD!

For Kent's birthday we celebrated all week. I told you about Monday's birthday dinner already, but I didn't tell you about his actual birthday. First of all the day started VERY rough. Wednesday night we had things going on and Braxton got to bed late. So this morning we had a horribly grumpy morning. I still hadn't been able to get Kent's birthday presents so we had a bit of shopping to do...let me remind you, shopping with a grump. Without the nitty gritty details let's just say that Braxton has truly learned how to throw a fit when things aren't going his way.

Kent was a very lucky boy. He got the movie, "Hunt for the Red October" (He's been wanting this movie for a very long time.) He also got four new sets of garments. My favorite thing that I gave him was a poem (I wrote) with Braxton's hand and foot prints on it. Here's is the poem:

My Dad is the Dad for Me

Naptime is over, his engine roars
As he comes rolling in
I jump on the couch and to my feet
To give him one big grin

He’s my hero, friend, and my dad
He loves me this I know
No one makes me feel this glad
It pains me when he has to go

He teaches me of right and wrong
And dangers of which I have to know
If only it didn’t make me cry and
Break my heart when he says no

He hides and I seek him hoping to find
Laughter and giggles galore
Big and strong yet gentle and kind
We can always play just a little more

My dad is really quite the man
He works long and hard for me
He gave me his eyes that I may grow
Up to see all that tomorrow will be

I have his hands so they might be
Strong and catch me when I fall
My feet become sturdy as I walk
Especially now while I am small

Here is one of the few pictures I have of Kent's good side. ha ha ha

For the celebration of Kent's birthday we went to Nickelcade. For those who don't know it is an arcade where all the cames cost nickels instead of quarters. We invited our good friends Taylor and Carrie and their kids and I was so glad. Near the end of the evening Carrie and I Competed in Dance Dance Revolution and it was a blast. I am seriously contemplating finding the home version for a good workout.
This is a picture of Kent two years ago on his birthday and one of our friends gave him this lovely hat to wear. Does it remind you of Shrek?
