Happy Birthday to the BEST Man alive!!!!!

You really had to be there to get the full effect, the kids went ALL out this year to make sure they showed their Love for their Daddy! Cayden saved up and bought him a decent little pair of binoculars (which he is excited to take with him on his upcoming trip to Black River), Colby "made" him this flag stand after he bought the flag, and Camber wrapped up one of her prized stuffed animals and giggled the entire time as he opened the package!

This was actually a "PRE" Birthday bash, the night after Cayden bought the binoculars he could hardly stand it any longer to have his Dad open the gifts... never mind that Mike's Birthday was still two weeks out!!!!!
We ended up "borrowing" the flag for our school room to say the pledge each morning... Mike is soooo GENEROUS!!!!!

This is the "REAL DEAL" (inside joke for Uncle Scott and all those who attended) Mike and Scott's Birthday dinner at Mike's parents.... Val made such an amazing dinner as usual... and I made a YUMMY "CHOCOLATE" (another inside joke) Cake!!!

The kids went ALL out Again for their Daddy, Giggles and all!!!! Camber wrapped not one, but 5 stuffed animals, Colby turned an old trophy from a pine wood derby race from "most creative car" to "most creative Dad!!" he made him and amazing card, and gave him this "lazy Bob"(another inside joke... told ya you really had to be there!!!) organizer thingy with a bobber in It and some other fishing stuff, And Cayden re-wrapped up the binoculars and gave him his little boom box that he got from Mitchel and Grant, And Cyrene started saying "DaDa" just in time for his special day... Carlie is a "gift" all in herself!!!! And I got him... hummm well we won't go into All the details, but breakfast at 4am, a new fishing reel, some cookies and gatoraid for his trip ... he's one HAPPY man!!!!! We tried to make him as happy as he makes all of us, he is such an AMAZING husband and Father!!!!!!
