Happy Birthday Wade

Wade just turned 27 and had a great birthday! I made him pancakes for breakfast (Keith's recipe...Wade's favorite), and then he opened his gifts. I gave him this blue dress shirt he's wearing and Jon and Emily gave him the tie. Later, I surprised him by showing up at his work with a Happy Birthday balloon and then took him to Subway for lunch. At work, they had a birthday cake for him and a card that everyone had signed.

Wade came home at 5:30pm and had a Totinos pizza all to himself. This is a special treat at our house because we always share the pizza. However, the kids and I were going to be eating dinner at a primary activity at 6pm, so he didn't have to share this one. Of course Jonny kept saying and signing "please" so cute that Wade gave him a few bites. ;) Then he left for his night class, while the kids and I went to the church for the talent show with the primary.
In the talent show, I sang, "I Feel My Savior's Love" and Emily sang "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" or in her words, "tinkle, tinkle, little tar." It was so cute, and she did a wonderful job! She was only a little nervous at first which is why she wanted me next to her, but then she started singing and did great.
While the older primary children were performing in the talent show, the little ones climbed behind the bleachers for the best seat in the house. I posted this picture just for you, Kathy, so Elyse could see her old friends. :)
After the activity, my sister dropped her daughter off at our house so we could babysit her over night and all day Friday, while Margaret attended a Scrapbook Retreat up at Bear Lake. Emily and Hailey were quite excited to see each other and to have matching pajamas and sippy cups!
I let the kids stay up till Wade came home from his night class, so they could play with daddy and sing happy birthday to him, which made him very happy. Here they're singing, "If you're mad and you know it, stomp your feet." Wade's wearing the shirt that my parents gave him. Emily told him, "My Uncle Autin has a shirt like dat!" We thought that was funny. After the kids were in bed, Wade and I stayed up till 1am watching more of Season 3 of The Office. We're still trying to catch up, and it just gets funnier with every show. Does anyone agree?On Friday morning, at our Mommy and Me Music Class, the kids were really cute as they danced in a train together.
After class, I was putting the intruments back into the closet, when I turned out and saw Jonny up on a chair "leading the music." That boy makes me smile.
