Dylan's Birthweek!






We like to really celebrate and tend to stretch out our birthday's, so here's Dylan's week of fun!

It started on U. Blake & U. Jonny's birthdays, while we were in TX. Since neither of them were around, we celebrated Dylan on their behalf. :) A day of swimming with the Murdock fam, followed by a yummy dinner of hot dogs & BBQ chicken sandwiches, corn on the cob, Bri's famous bean dip, salad & veggies. We attempted to open presents, but Dylan wasn't really interested since we had blown up these AWESOME sword-like balloons for the boys to play with. It was really fun for us to celebrate his birthday with family, something we rarely get to do.

Saturday was his REAL birthday and we started the day by opening presents before he could get too distracted. We then went into town for lunch at Red Robin, a family fav. After that we headed to the pool where we spent a few hours cooling off and having fun as a family. He was tuckered out after a long day in the sun, so fell asleep on the way home. We also watched Madagascar that night & ate dinner in front of the TV. Lots of laughter, lots of fun!

Sunday night we did birthday cake and he REALLY got into it. He knew just what to do with the candles, and then dove right into the frosting. This is the first time I've bought a birthday cake from the bakery and the frosting was really thick....it was grossing Ben & me out, but the boys were loving it! Felt a tad guilty for not making & decorating a cake for him at first, but when I saw how much fun he was having, it washed all guilt away!

Thanks to all our friends & family for making Dylan's day so great! WE LOVE YOU x2 DYLAN MICHAEL!!!
