This year was a big one. One that even Corey was a little spooked by. The big 4-0. In my mind, I had built it up to be a momentous occasion that demanded a big trip or huge party, but with a little man, a trip wasn't in the cards and Corey wasn't really wanting a big party. Sooooo.... I had to get creative. We bought him some fun presents for the big day (a Smoky Bear t-shirt being one of the funner ones), and I buckled down and made him a video telling him how much we all love him. The thing took me hours upon hours to finish, but the end result was just so fun and heartfelt. It turned out great and I think it really drove home how much we love him. We had a yummy chocolate cream cake, and went to an Isotopes game to celebrate too. During the game, a fun birthday wish flashed up on the scoreboard a couple of times ( I didn't get a great shot at it, but you get the idea!)...the boys helped decide what to write. They were so excited about celebrating the big day...they even made banners and posters to put on the walls, all of which had to do with baseball. They were very funny (and I'm a little sad I didn't get some pictures of them) with sayings that had to do with the best dad needing to be at the game so the 'topes could win...stuff like that and funnier. Clever boys.
Forty looks good on this man of mine and I am beyond thankful for being able to be a part of nearly half of that time. I love him, and his boys love him, and he's made MUCH of his years so far. Happy Birthday to the best guy around. We all love him so!
