Happy Birthday, Babe!

Isn't he such a handsome guy! I am so amazingly blessed to have Andy as my husband. His birthday was a month ago today, but because we were so sick about that time, I wasn't able to get online THAT DAY and post something about him. So, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BABE! We were able to do a fun family party at our place a few days after his birthday, so there was at least a little bit of celebrating that we felt well enough to do. He got quite a bit of money for his birthday, so his mom and dad were kind enough to come babysit one morning so that he and I could go spend it. If any of you know Andy very well you'll know that he is very frugal and will hardly ever buy anything for himself unless coaxed to do so. So I got to help him spend his birthday money! He was in desperate need of some new jeans (all but one pair in the closet had holes in them). After trying on 29 pairs of jeans (with all the different cuts, styles, washes, etc. it really did take that many pairs to find the right one!), we ended up with four that he feels and looks great in! In fact, he looks pretty hot according to me! I love you, babe!!!
Kaymi was SO set on helping put the candles on his cake. I put candles around the outside and then let her put the rest where ever she wanted them to be. They ended up being clumped all around the end of the words "happy" and "birthday". She was SO excited to help.
Here's the lovely cake. Andy's mom knew that we weren't feeling very well still, so she offered to make the cake for me. She's so wonderful. The amateur decorating, however....well, I'm afraid that I have to take credit for that.
Blowing out the birthday candles!! He got them all. Hope you made a great wish, honey!
One of the fun things about Andy's birthday is that he shares it with my youngest brother, Mike. Mike is on his mission right now, so we took this picture and emailed it to him. His preparation day was on his birthday, so he got to see our email and picture THAT day. We love him and are so excited about the work that he's doing right now.
