Happy 28!

Despite his efforts, Ethan turned 28. He is less than thrilled that he is so "old" but its true. He is now 28. I mean, not gonna lie, its kind of hard to believe myself considering I met him when he was 22 but still.
Ethan has the best birthday. Its always on a holiday weekend, its always around the start of football season, its always around the start of school, and its typically always warm. Unfortunately though because it is around the start of school I typically always forget. I don't forget his birthday but I forget that I don't have the whole month of September to plan. I have the whole month of August to plan for the first day of September. This is what I always forget. Also for the past 4 years or so, we have always been traveling or moving or going to school so its hard to do something special. I wish I was typing this as a lead up to prove that this was the year I finally made up for lost time, but its not. You'll have to ask him, but I think it was an okay day. Not great but fine.

In the morning we hiked to Bridal Veil falls and then played in the Provo river where upon Kelsey fell in the freezing cold water. Before she fell in she was loving it which is odd because she won't normally get wet, but maybe we are over that phase now.

I said smile and this is what I got from both of them. Thanks guys

After playing in the water we went to lunch at Red Robin which is kind of a tradition that we have for Ethan's birthday. Its not that he loves it we just went there the first birthday that we were dating and have gone ever since. Lunch was delicious, but after lunch we had to get back to unpacking and gathering all our belongings which were spread across the valley including Ethan and Uncle Kelly driving up to Daybreak to get our washer and dryer. Happy birthday right?! 

Once we hit a good stopping point for the day we had some friends over for a surprise birthday party. I have to confess. I actually told Ethan because he kept trying to plan work things for the night. Finally I just broke down and said "STOP PLANNING STUFF!!! PEOPLE ARE COMING OVER!" Luckily he laughed because I was running out of lies. Because of the holiday not very many people could come but we had the Johnsons and Harrisons over for cake and treats. 

This is the only picture I got but it pretty much sums up the joy we all felt for getting some cake and a break from unpacking. I love our friends.
