Happy Birthday to my most favorite man in the whole world.

Poor dad didn't get to have the greatest birthday.....

He spent all day dive training in very cold and murky water.

It took him a while to warm himself up once they were done.

But we did go and visit him tonight once they were home and fed and showered :)

We could have waited for tomorrow to celebrate.....

But it was fun for the kiddos to see him on his birthday.

I wanted to see him too :)

We can still do more celebrating tomorrow....but for tonight we took a couple yummy cheesecakes to the station to share with all the boys.

He opened up his presents and the kids got to play on the fire trucks and the rock climbing wall.

We love dad so much.

When Elsie woke up....first thing she said was "We going to visit dad?"

I had to tell her several times that it wouldn't be until after we had dinner.

She just couldn't wait to hug him for his birthday!

Port went and did some shopping with me today.

He made sure that I bought some candles.

This was very important to Port.

Well, when we pulled out the cheesecake, we didn't stick the candles on....

Port kept saying "But Dad needs to make a wish!"

So I told dad to make a wish, but Porter insisted that he had candles.....

Yep...you guessed it.

The boy got his way.

We pulled a couple candles out, and the two of them made a wish and blew them out together.

That kid just cracks me up.

It was a fun night.....I feel bad that it wasn't a huge celebration.

But at least his family was with him for a little bit....something I know that makes him happy :)

Cassi took her guitar so she could accompany us while singing "Happy Birthday".

She did a great job and was not even nervous at all to play in front of 8 other fire men....

Port loves it at the station.

He spent part of the time playing with the toy fire truck there at the station....

Part of the time wrestling fellow fire fighters....

And spent some time resting while watching T.V. with another fellow fire fighter.

That boy loves it there.

Happy Birthday Dad!!!!

We love you so much!
