Happy 30th Vaughn

I'm so wrapped up in my daily routine that I rarely have time to reflect on what a great husband I have. So after 30 years of life, 10 years of friendship, 5 years of marriage & 2 kids later...here's to you!!!

You are an awesome person, wonderful husband & the best dad that anyone could ask for. You work hard all day & still manage to find time and energy for all of us. You sacrifice sleep, your hobbies & sometimes your pride. You've taught me to loosen up a little and enjoy life. Thank you for providing for our family, listening to us whine & being a great example to each of us. We love you!!!

Vaughn's best birthday present came early in the form of a promotion. Here's the proof that even when you move up the corporate ladder you can still get away with balancing cookies on your forehead. Thank you Ammon for the congratulations package & the unknown entertainment it would provide.

Since Vaughn's birthday is usually neglected the day after Christmas, I threw him a little surprise party with some of his buddies. You know someone's truly surprised when they show up to their own party with a shopping bag & stick of deodorant!!!

Yep...30 candles. Kaden was so excited to see them all lit up. He had been poking his fingers in the side of the cake licking the frosting.

Licking the frosting off the candle is not enough, you have to try and bite it too. We didn't nickname her "Munchie" for nothing.

On Vaughn's actual birthday it's kind of become a tradition to make him his favorite German Chocolate Cake from scratch. It seems like a million steps but it's the least I can do for him on his special day. Only 3 candles this time (I prefer not to eat wax).
