For his birthday, since it fell on a Sunday, we had my parents, Carter, and Tyler and Beth over for dinner. We sang and opened presents then too. His parents also came over to visit, then later Chris and Stormi and Kristie and Clint came over to play games.
Raegan was so excited to give Kurt this stuffed elephant for his birthday that she picked out. There is a funny story with Raegan and birthday shopping this year. I had asked Raegan if she wanted to go shop for her dads birthday and she was so excited. I then asked her to ask dad what he wanted she responded, "NO Mom! It has to be a surprise!!!" then she went skipping to the hall where Kurt was walking and in an instant she says to him, "Oh, hi Dad, were going to the store to get some ham." and continues skipping down the hall. I laughed hysterically, although maybe I shouldn't have thought her being able to lie so quickly and Kurt actually falling for it should be funny, but it was cute that she was trying to cover and keep us shopping for his birthday a surprise.
His parents gave him a couple of aprons and a tri-tip roast, my parents gave him a basket full of his favorite drinks and treats, and I gave him a dutch oven, along with some clothes. Hummmm......roast...aprons...treats...dutch oven...elephant...what does this say about my husband?
The girls had a leaping competition after dinner. I had to throw this picture on because I was so proud of myself for catching her in the air.
Well as customary I will share 31 random facts about Kurt at this point in his life.
1. His favorite drink is Mountain Dew.
2. He loves, loves, loves to golf.
3. He plays on a softball team.
4. Every night I go to bed at 10:00 and he stays up to watch Sports Center, drink Mountain Dew and eat saltines.
5. There are 67 ties hanging in his closet (he's obsessed)
6. He also has an obsession with socks and garments (he has a separate drawer for tops and bottoms, of which when they're all clean they don't fit)
7. Senior year he won Biggest Flirt, of which now his family call him Kurt the flirt. I keep reminding them that should no longer apply.
8. If he could, he would eat, sleep and breath football (another obsession).
9. His high school friends call him Tubby Take Home.
10. Kurt can't sleep unless he has 3 pillows around him. He blames this on me because I won't cuddle with him in the night.
11. He snores
12. On vacation in Hawaii he got a sea Urchin stuck inside his foot that we had to slice out with a razor blade.
13. Kurt can figure anything out, he's great at looking at a project and knowing how to do it himself.
14. He's extremely generous, sometimes to a fault.
15. Hates reading.
16. He can dance like a mad man, I think he'd try out to be a Chip and Dale dancer if he weren't Mormon.
17. Kurt is somewhat of a shopaholic. He blames this on not being able to spend a lot when he was younger so now he goes overboard.
18. Going to a doctor is never an option for him. I always make his doctor/dentist appointments and force him to show up when he needs to.
19. He has passed 2 kidney stones and been in the E.R. for it on Morphine (another time I forced him to go because he was throwing up from the pain).
20. He pours Oreos in a bowl with milk and eats it like cereal.
21. Kurt has the ability to find good in all people, and love them. He just loves people!
22. Favorite football team is the Cowboys.
23. He once poked me in the eye in the middle of the night on purpose, asked me if he poked me in the eye then said "oh" and rolled over and went back to sleep.
24. He wont hire anyone to help with our yard because he says it feels like a real accomplishment when the grass is green because he took care of it himself.
26. He's great at organizing and loves to do it.
27. He loves to snack on toast.
28. When he was a kid he got hit by a snow plow.

30. His favorite movie is Goonies.
31. His best friend today (besides me) is the same one he had at 8 years old.
Love you hon! I hope that your birthday wasn't to much of a bomb. Really, what do you get the shopaholic that already has pretty much everything he wants? I really lucked out getting married to Kurt, he's so kind hearted and has taught me so much by his example. As Kurt would say- I freakin' love you!
This is Macy brushing the stuffed sheep in the kiddie farm.

That poor bunny.
Kurt and Macy next to the worlds hugest bull, this picture doesn't show how massive that thing was. I wish that I would have got a picture of the pig eating some ladies cell phone. Everyone was screaming, luckily one of the workers rescued the slobbery device.
He actually didn't just play he did put in this rock path, which I thought turned out great and a fire pit in our backyard, so we could cook up the children.
