Happy Birthday Daddy




In our normal fashion, we celebrated Ben's birthday yesterday with a cake, a song, and too little fanfare. Thanks to James for shaking things up a bit by taking an early tasting of the cake he and Kate put the sprinkles on. Happy Birthday Daddy!

I want to add that the extremely distasteful "Go Utah shirt" (or G'Uta'Sht as James has taken to abbreviating it) and tacky pants combo that James is wearing in the photo isn't something we put together. After weeks of trying to convince him each day to wear something else, we finally gave up and bought two more identical G'Utah'Shts so he can wear a clean one every day.

Perceiving that he had won the battle, James now fights every night until we let him wear G'Uta to bed as well. Take last night for example: "Okay kids, let's put on our pajamas and get ready for bed..." to which his response is "Wear G'Utah'Sht." Getting out of the bathtub this morning: "Okay, let's go put on a diaper." Response: "Wear G'Uta'Sht".

And I forgot to mention that the pants are part of the mandatory outfit. Whomever gave us those pants...thanks.

Happy Birthday, Ben! I wonder what these kids will be fighting to wear in about 14 years.
