Happy Happy

Since Evan's birthday a few weeks ago Autumn has been very into telling people happy birthday.  Although she only says, "Happy".  Anyhow my younger, not quite little anymore, brother came to visit for Martin Luther King Jr.  aka Equality Day weekend, which just so happened to also be his birthday.  So pre-birthday activities included indoor rock climbing in the big city 45 minutes south of her, a drive around Colorado State University, and then dinner at a sports bar and grill.  No pictures of the food, but I had a great bacon burger with a fried egg.

 Autumn outside in my jacket, because we left hers in the car, eating a little snack. "CHEESE"

 Autumn was actually really good at climbing the rock wall.

 CSU:  Not quite sure what goes on in the "WEED LAB", but it is Colorado...

Noah was the designated story time reader.  Autumn's current favorite: "Go Dog Go"

On Noah's actual birthday we went to church, then Noah made us Macoroni and Cheese, Autumn took a nap, then we went on an abbreviated "Cheyenne Boot Tour".

One of my favorite hidden hang-outs with Autumn.

And the library...where we go weekly.  We say more boots, just didn't take pictures with all of them.

Then Noah and I made dinner: steaks, roasted sweet potatoes, pasta and a green salad. 

 Noah wondering what's in his present that Autumn is opening...by the way Noah did Autumn's hair.

 My mom sent a "care" package of a bunch of things Noah likes, so I wrapped them all up individually...so Autumn he could open more presents.

 After Noah was posing with his presents Autumn wanted to pose with all of them too.

 Apparently "creamy chicken" Top Ramen is quite tasty...

 Noah actually got to open this one by himself.

 Blowing out the candles...he got all 25 in one go, too bad he forgot to make a wish.

 Birthday boy plate and cup... Anyone else have the "red plate" for their birthdays?
