Dylan's Birthday Fun


 Dylan had a cake and some gifts on his actual birthday May 9 but we didn't really go out and have birthday fun. We wanted to wait till the weather was much better so we planned something for the day before he left to go to Montana for a month. It was perfect, the weather was beautiful and we got to spend an entire evening just having fun.

We headed out to play mini golf, one of Dylan's favorite things to do, and we all stunk it up. I think Sadee actually beat us all with Noelle in a close second. I kind of felt bad for all the people behind us because we had 5 of us golfing and each person took a long time, I think we had 3 parties waiting for us. Oh well :) I made Dyaln's favorite cake, Red Velvet, and it was amazing!

After mini golf I took him to see a movie. We saw Kung Fu Panda 2. It was soo good! We loved the first but the second was just as good if not better than the first. 

After the movie we came home and gave him his gift. He had said that there were 3 things that he wanted for his birthday. Money and a new hat. What an easy kid huh?! Well see he got his hat and was totally stoked about it, and was ecstatic to have some mula to buy all the little things that he wanted and the watch he wanted at  Big 5.

Dylan was pleasantly surprised to see a knife at the bottom of his bag. Kendall picked out this really cool knife by Bear Grills from Man vs Wild. Dylan loved it and will be able to use it at all his scout events and both his scout camps this summer. 

It was a great birthday for Dylan and we are so glad we waited to have it before the day he left  so we could  party it up and spend all night with him.

Happy 12th birthday Dylan!

It was a great time for sure. It was great to do some fun family time before he left. He is already missed by us all.

Can't believe that he is getting so big. He's a great young man for sure. We're grateful he is in our family.
