Happy 32nd Birthday Justin!

The kids voted for Panda Bear Cupcakes for their dads birthday treat. Justin was a great dad and agreed that was what he wanted too! Didn't they turn out so cute? The kids were excited to do our traditional candle blowing. With each birthday dessert we let everyone blow out a candle even if it's not their birthday and they all think it's the funnest thing ever. It's great that kids are easy to impress when they are young!
For Justin's birthday we took a little trip up to Mt. Graham and picnicked at Snow Flat. The weather was nice and cool. They kids loved finding slugs!
My oldest kid, the birthday boy himself utterly enjoyed being a kid for the day. He had a blast catching minnows with his hands. He seriously forgot we had three kids to take care of, but it was his birthday and I was happy to see him enjoying himself so much!!
The kids were excited to see the little minnows! Logan loved seeing the little fish and caring around his cup full of slugs!
Hunter enjoyed holding them for a minute then putting them back in the cup.
Justin caught 16 minnows with his hands, which to our children made him Father of the year! Justin was fitting since it was also Father's Day weekend. Justin is a wonderful father who is actively involved with the kids and their activities.
Kiersten was bound and determined to catch a minnow herself. We told her she'd have to be extremely patient to catch one. She indeed was patient and after 20 minutes or so caught a little minnow. She was so happy! Great Job Sweetheart!
Hunter wasn't so interested in being patient, but he was equally happy to have found a real treasure.............corn on the cob.
Hunter got silly while listening to his ipod! He was dancing so funny and kept asking me to take his picture. What a character!
Once Kiersten had caught her minnow she had fun playing with her American Girl doll which she apparently named, Ryan Abigail Cluff.
