30th Birthday

Steve had his 30th Birthday!!!!

Earlier this year he bought a big, nice (expensive) surround sound system for our t.v., so that was his Father's day, anniversary, birthday and Christmas present. We didn't want him to go without something so Spencer and I did a lot of little gifts for his birthday. Spencer and I let him sleep in until 10am for his first present. Then I went and told Spencer we need to go wake up dad and wish him Happy Birthday. Spencer said, "Wait!!" and ran in his room and got his sand bucket and put his package of diapers in it and said that was daddy's present. "Ooooo-k" I said. We went in and with a big smile Spencer gave Steve the bucket and said "Huckle Berry!" At least that's what it sounded like. He was trying to say Happy Birthday. He knows how to say Happy, birth, and day but for some reason when he puts them altogether it sounds like 'huckle berry'.

Later we gave Steve a yummy fruit drink we bought the day before while we let him relax and do whatever he wanted during the day. Then we made his favorite dinner, Fettuccine Alfredo, and a birthday cake. Spencer posed after we were done making the cake. Spencer's new thing when we take out the camera and ask him to smile is to fold his arms and give the cheesiest grin in the world. He does it every time we take a picture. See below:

Steve decided to copy the pose...

We let Spencer lick the candles but he got confused and thought they were candy so instead of just licking, he bit off the piece with frosting on it and chewed and swallowed it before we could get him to spit it out. Gross.

Steve's birthday would have ended nicely but at about 8:30pm Steve realized that he was confused on the due date of one of his english papers and it was due the night before. In a stress filled panic Steve finished it and turned it in and then wrote an email to his professor begging her to accept it a day late. The bad news: Birthday ended on a sour note. Good news: The professor accepted it with full marks. Happy Birthday Steve!
