32

Keith turned 32 yesterday! We celebrated early on Saturday by having a picnic at the park as a family and letting the little man run around in the water, after a little bit we took Carson to my sister's house (I was so glad he fell asleep for her on the way over), then headed out to Mickey Ray's BBQ for dinner. We got the large meat platter and shared it since it also came with three sides, it was plenty of meat and we had a lot left over for lunch the next day. I had never heard of Mickey Ray's, I guess some guy from Arkansas (shout out to Ruby!) moved here and has lived here for about 12 years and started the Mickey Ray's in Eagle about 4 years ago and then the one in Boise that we went to just opened up. We both loved it and were super stuffed. I loved that they served the drinks in Mason Jars, really made you feel like you were in the South

Half the platter eaten...it looks gross in the pic but it was good I promise!

Afterwards we headed up to Crouch, ID which is in the mountains where we saw Seven Brides for Seven Brothers at an outdoor theater. Keith absolutely loved it, he had never been to Starlight Mountain Theater before, I've been a few times but it's been several years. It was a hilarious show and we decided we need to go back to see Oklahoma in a few weeks.

Waiting for the show to start---second row/center seats--doesn't get better than that, well maybe, since the tickets were free.

Sunday morning Carson was sick so I stayed home with him and decorated the house. When Keith came home we had our leftovers from Mickey Ray's and skyped his family in NJ for awhile. My sister Nikki and her family came over for dinner....chilli dogs (Keith's request), salad, chips, and soda. Afterwards we had Winco's yummy brownies and ice cream sandwiches and Keith opened presents---new fishing waders, 6-pack of root beer (his fav), and some cash. He said his favorite part though was the homemade card from Carson and I. I even got Carson to say "Happy Birthday Daddy" all on his own, I think it's things like that, that mean the most when you're a parent.  Afterwards we lounged, talked and the kids played. It was a great two days.  Happy 32nd Babe!

This morning (the day after) Carson saw all the decorations still up and he said, "Birthday Daddy," and I said "Yeah, did Daddy have a birthday?" and he yells "Daddy!" and looks around for him. I had to explain that he was at work. It was so cute he remembered and understands birthdays now.
