My cowboy turns 29 !





Part 1 Nathan Birthday...

So I'm never good at getting Nathan presents for his birthday. He is always so nice saying "whatever I get him is good" but I of course don't want to get him just anything. SOOO this year I demanded help. I told him he had to help me pick something out. Luckily for me ( and I think him ) he agreed. So months ago for his graduation present I got him a welder. (Once again with his assistance ;) So for his b-day present he said he wanted to make/weld himself a smoker


So first he needed some barrels
Here's his project in the making.....




Here's the finished project and our hard worker. I don't know all the details of the project.
As part of his present we gave him some time to work on it and since we don't have a garage..... his brother let him borrow his. So we let him spend the day out there with no disturbances. I kept the little kids at home and he went out to Azle for some hard work. Of course Ethan was happy to tag a long to see his cousins.





Part II

Here's my cowboy- turning 29! Which he thinks is old, ha ha but I told him see what he thinks in 10-to 15 years. I bet he'll miss these days.





Nathan decided for this year's birthday he wanted to go Texan style. Of course we all know how much Nathan loves Texas ;) So we went to TEXAS ROADHOUSE. Accompanied by Mom & Dad Abe, Jared & Jamie and Nathan's best friend Steven & Brittany. Thanks for coming out y'all- to help us celebrate.

Opening presents..........really excited, obviously ;)
Happy to have his first Texas Rangers shirt-represent!
Back to mom and dad's for some brownies (Nathan's favorite) and ice cream-blue bell, also his favorite!
I still made him blow out candles. The kids loved it!

Even Link got some yummy dessert
Yum, yum, yum
Off to some laughs. Luckily we got Grandma & Grandpa to sit for us which the kids loved of course.



We went to a comedy show with Vince Vaughn and Kevin James, Nathan's favorite. It was SOOOO funny. Of course there were some crude jokes here and there, unfortunately, BUT the other stuff we loved. We were both dying laughing.





We tried to get some pics-obviously not very good seating. We just needed to hear them and that was good enough. Plus even those seats were pretty pricey. It was so worth it though. We counted it as one of his presents. He is a tough guy to buy for. Even after being married almost 7 years I still struggle buying gifts. I was so happy he was able to do something he really liked :)
Here we are in our bleacher seats.

What a great night. What a great party.
Happy Birthday to an incredible father & husband. I love you.
