26th Birthday

So, I don't have any exciting photos or anything of Rickys birthday this year..

We just planned a real low key bday for this year.

I got up and made him a homemade confetti cake with chocolate icing.

I was going to cook him a yummy dinner of grilled chicken and backed potatoes

but he ended up being very sick for his Birthday and not wanting to eat anything.

He woke up to get ready and go to work, before leaving to work he threw up outside of his car.

He got to work, threw up some more and decided to come home after a couple of hours.

Ricky ended up staying home both Tuesday and Wednesday due to the bug.

Hyrum had the bug earlier in the week/weekend.

No Fun.

Ricky was able to muster up some strength to go to the movies on his Bday Tuesday.

The three of us went and watched Rio. It was pretty cute and we were lucky to be the only

three in the entire theatre!

Ricky got some new books, new addidas tennis shoes, gift card to Sears, gift card to Ihop (from mom/dad) and a nice little check to buy himself a new tool or tool bag or something fun for himself.

He has searched online and gone to at least 5 hardware stores and has come out empty handed every time! This boy can't decide what tools he wants to spend his money on because there are soo many that he wants!

 I hope he makes his decision soon.

Other than being sick, he had a somewhat relaxing birthday to sit around and rest and do nothing for a change.. even when he's not at work... he's busy working.. he LOVEs to stay busy and will pick up extra work anywhere he can find it, though he does love to sit and do nothing once in a great while.

I see him running his own 'handy man' business one day..
