Gentry Is 34...and the BYU Game.

Gentry's birthday was on a Wednesday this year.  Both of us worked and when he got home we had to take the boys to football practice.  We sat in the car eating Chick-fil-a for dinner while we watched the boys practice.  I felt bad because it wasn't much of a birthday.

Brock stayed home from school with a cold so he made this card for Gentry.  He also made a big banner in our room.
"Than you for giveing us love.  And helping us be kind to others.  You are the best dad in the world!!! I love you more than BYU!!!"  
 I love his cards and drawings.

 I have a client who makes these cakes for all of her U of U friends.  I told her I wanted one and she brought it over on Gentry's birthday.  Which was perfect.  Gentry loved it...and I didn't have to make a cake!  Plus it was super yummy.  We even had left overs for breakfast....we don't want it to go to waste ya know.

 After practice we all came home and got to have some cake!

 Thursday night we spent all night ripping up carpet and staples and also moving all of our furniture because carpet was being laid on Friday.  We were exhausted and all had to sleep in the basement that night.  Friday morning the carpet people got here at 6:30 AM and were all ready to start.  I went to check the carpet and they delivered the wrong kind!!  I was literally so depressed all day.  Gentry and I had to move the furniture all back so we could use the bathrooms and beds for the next week and a half.  So this is what our room looks like while we wait for the carpet we ordered to come in. 

 Then Gentry took the trailer to the dump to throw away all of our old carpet.  When he got back he noticed he ran over a nail...so we had to take the car in.  The people that replaced our tires a year ago lost the key to our tires....so they had to strip them.  Then we went to the Verizon store to get our new iPhone...(the lady told us they opened at 10 so we got there at 8:15) only to find out they opened at 7:00 that morning and were all SOLD OUT!!!  This day felt like it kept getting worse!  So luckily my sweet friend Brenda knew about the carpet and brought over Chick-fil-a breakfast.  Then at lunch time my other sweet friend Angie brought us yummy orange rolls from Rollin in the Dough.  Which we all know food makes me happier!

After trying to find new carpet at a new place we decided to just wait it out and let Home Depot bring the carpet we originally ordered.  We were in such bad moods that we were a little short with our kids.  We felt bad that they got the brunt of it so we took them to dinner.  

 We sent Cooper a video singing happy birthday and he sent one back thanking us.  This is the kids watching the video.

 The very best part of the day on Friday was that my Dad came home from the hospital!!!  After having open heart surgery on Monday.  He looks so great.  I'm so glad he is doing well.  This picture was the day after surgery.  Amazing!

Saturday Gentry stayed home from work because he wasn't feeling well.  (We've all had colds this week.)  But we all watched the BYU game as a family.  What a bummer they lost.  Now we don't play the U of U until 2016.  We were telling our kids that and thinking how old they will be the next time we watch them play each other again.

 The game didn't start until 8:15 and it wasn't over til almost midnight.  I think it was a little late for the kids!
