Devin's birthday was Friday, May 23rd. And... he turned 24! He kept telling me how he's almost a quarter of a century old, and how that's supposed to be really freaky. He also pointed out that he is 10 years older than freshman in high school right now. That really freaked me out. But, at the same time, I still feel like we are sooo young.
Devin's dad came to town a week early for his birthday. We made homemade pizza, went to Texas Roadhouse, watched Tyler compete in his motocross race, watched Harry Potter and the Heat game, and went on a hike! All in all, it was a great weekend! Here's a pic of Dev and his Pops on our way to Stewart Falls.
On his actual birthday, I told Devin we would go to the movies and dinner just the two of us. And if you know Dev, I could tell was a little bummed out--and I say a little because he is the nicest person on the planet and he didn't want to hurt my feelings--that I didn't have anything more special planned with friends. Because Devin is a social butterfly. Anyway, I let him think he was going to come home after work, change and go to dinner. But, when he walked in the door, we had a bunch of people waiting to surprise him! We hung out and ate pizza and cake and talked and had fun. It was a blast and he was totally surprised. He loved it.
And here's my attempt at a basketball cake that I made. The coolest part about this cake was that it was his three favorite things: a basketball, the color blue on the inside, and (blue) velvet flavoring! He was pretty thrilled.
Tyler enjoying his blue and orange cake!
On Sunday, everyone wanted to see Devin so my entire family joined us for a hike. It was a lot of fun. Afterwards we went home and had ribs that my mom made (Dev's favorite) and watched basketball. Devin was pretty elated.
And this is my favorite picture of the entire day. Cooper mimicking Devin, watching basketball and eating food. They are adorable. <3
