birthday boy

This boy had a birthday today, 47 years old!! I asked him last night if he felt that old. He said no...he felt 50!!  He doesn't look it! 

 

He makes breakfast for the family every Saturday.  I told him last night I would make it this morning if he would like. He told me he would cook.  He knows I would struggle with the hashbrowns. His breakfasts are the BEST!!

 

I think he's had a pretty good day. After Karlee's last church basketball game (btw ~ they went undefeated.  Go Karlee!!) we went and ate at Outback. It was so good, the food, the company...all of it. Then we went home for presents and cake.



 

 

 

Now he's watching college basketball.  Tonight we're going to go a play/musical in our community.  It's something I could see Carson doing someday.  That's really why we're going.

I've done this for the kids.  Let's see if I can come up with 47 items about Brian.
