Birthday Surprises

Well I have to start this blog with apologising to my husband for being such a stinker about being kidnapped. I think I have a harder time being spontaneous when it involves not knowing who is going to be babysitting my son, but I need not have worried.
We left the house on Friday morning around 10:30 or so and headed south on I-15. After we had passed the exits for my aunts' and Britt's house I figured we were heading to St. George. Which made me really happy because we hadn't seen our families since Christmas and I knew that Aydan would be in good hands. When we got off the freeway we headed over to Andrew's sister's house to drop Aydan off, but when we got there Andrew just wanted to hang out. Which made me way cranky because I didn't know what the heck was going on. I kept insisting that if Aydan was going to stay with Bri that I wanted to at least let my parents see Aydan for a minute before we took off to our birthday destination. But he kept stalling and stalling and stalling. And most of you can guess why he was by now but Andrew is pretty tricky I had no idea why. So we finally left Bri's and Andrew wanted to go get me a drink at Fabulous Freddies because they have raspberry flavoring, which I love. But all I wanted at that point was to get to my parents and just have a drink there. So we get to my parents house and no one will open the door and I see Haylie hiding through the glass. So I told her to hurry up and open the door because Aydan is getting really heavy now that he's two and my arms were killing me. So she opens the door and does not act surprised to see me at all which I thought was kinda strange. But anyway, so we go down the hall to the kitchen and my mom and my brother Zac yell: "Surprise!". Turns out my sweet husband and my wonderful mom had planned a surprise party for me and since I was being such a brat I ruined my own party...:-( No one one else was able to get home before we got there so I had a total party of three to greet me. Oh well, it was really fun when everyone got there!
After dinner and birthday cake Andrew told me he had another surprise and that I needed to put on something dressy. So I got all dressed up and we left Aydan with my parents. We headed over to Dixie college to see The Ten Tenors, and they were SO good!! They had quite a repertoire. They sang opera as well as Queen and the Bee Gees. After the concert we went to good old Larson's and had glaciers. It was so nice to have a date night with my wonderful husband even if he was a little sore with me for ruining my party. :-)
The next morning we went swimming with my family and then headed up to my parent's brand new cabin! It was the first time for my family to spend the night at the cabin and we were all so excited. We stayed up late, played games and just enjoyed being together.
It may not sound like the most romantic birthday because we were with family most of the weekend but it was exactly what I wanted for my birthday! I am so grateful for a husband who is willing to share me on my special day with almost all of the people I love the most. Besides we are going on a house hunting trip next week ALL by ourselves!! I totally love my little son but sometimes you need some time all alone with your husband. :-) Thanks to all of you who called, text, or sang me a happy birthday!
