Birthday weekend

As most of you already know, Derek turned 31 on Saturday.  For his birthday weekend he decided he wanted to go camping, so on Friday night we had his birthday dinner and cake at home and then on Saturday morning we took off camping.

His birthday cake of choice was actually a pie.  An Almost Better than Sex Pie to be exact.  It was my first time making this pie and as you can see in the picture, it may not have turned out exactly right, but I’m not sure.  See it dripping out of the pan?  Yeah, I don’t think it is supposed to do that, but then again, maybe it is.  It really was good though!
Braedon thought it was better than sex.

Now on to camping.

We didn’t camp in a campground and instead found a random spot, that was all dirt.  Maybe not the best idea with a 2 year old, but he did have a blast.

Both Braedon and Peyton had so much fun just wandering around and exploring.  Braedon may have explored mostly in the dirt.  He went from this.

To this….in about 30 seconds flat.

He would practically lay down and swim in the stuff.

When it came time to get him ready for bed I didn’t even know where to start.

He also filled his pants three times in about three hours.  We are blaming the cherries in the picture below and Braedon is now banned from them.

After a night of watching Braedon roll around in the dirt we got up the next morning, had breakfast and then spent a couple of hours down at the lake.

The water was a little cold but Braedon had fun swimming in it.  I think Peyton had the most fun though and swam pretty much the entire time we were there.  She passed out in the jeep in about 30 seconds.  Braedon passed out in about 45 seconds.

Happy Birthday, Derek!  We love you!!!
