Happy Birthday to My Love!

Morgan's birthday was yesterday, Sunday the 26th of July. On Saturday I surprised Morgan by waking him up at 6:45 am and taking him up to Stumpy Meadows Lake (a little past Union Valley Resevoir). I had purchased an inflatable raft the day before hoping to take him fishing and perhaps paddle around the lake. The fishing part didn't really work out because the raft wasn't as hefty and as big as I had hoped it would be. Even then, we still paddled around a little bit and even got out and swam a little. It was nice to be up in the mountains and see the beautiful scenery.

Here's a picture of Morgan blowing up our little raft. We were both laughing most of the time while we were blowing it up knowing it was going to be more of an adventure than actually working out as planned.

Yup, a little squishy.

After we were done with paddling around and swimming, we put the raft up to dry while we ate lunch.

We played the famous game of "War" in the back seat.

It's a beautiful lake.

We arrived home to the wonderful aroma of "Chicken and Stuffing" in the crockpot. Morgan loves that stuff! My mom was so nice to come over to our place while we were gone and make the crockpot meal so that it would be done by the time we got home. Thanks Mom!

I then had Morgan open up his gifts. We are trying to cut back on our budget so they were homemade mostly, which is actually what he had asked for...he's so cute. I framed the dedicatory blessing of our little home which had been done just after we had moved in. I also gave him "Family Home Evening in a Jar!" It has different songs and topics/lessons for our Monday Nights. I also gave him a half finished cross stitch that I am still working on, which will eventually say "Home Sweet Home".

We then took a nap because of the early day and later went over to my parents to celebrate his birthday with them. We had cake and icecream and Morgan opened up a couple more gifts from my parents. They got him a 100 piece drill set and a hair cutting kit (we're always borrowing my parents hair cutting kit, so now we finally have our own!) :)

Don't you just love the candle!!???

I just fall more and more in love my husband everyday. He makes everyday so wonderful. He is so positive and optimistic and such a wonderful example of love, charity, and service. I am so grateful for him and for the blessing that he is in my life. I love him so much! Happy Birthday my love! I hope you enjoyed your birthday!
