39!

Josh had his 39th birthday! The week of his birthday Maren begged and begged to go to the dollar store. She cried every night that we couldn't go. Finally the night before his birthday, he took her down to it. When they got there, she told him that she was there to get his birthday gift. Isn't she the sweetest kid around! She made him go to the next isle and she picked out this candy bar for him and tried to hide it and buy it with him standing right next to her. He said it was enough to bring tears to his eyes. She ended up splitting it with him on his birthday adorned in her princess gown.


Kels thought it would be fun to adorn the rest of us in red lipstick! We found that we all look pretty hot in it!












I won't show the rest of our wide openings!





With his new job that we are very thankful for, Josh is required to wear a shirt, tie, and slacks everyday. Hence the new outfit!





Josh asked for a New York Cheescake for his birthday! My first attempt at it, I now know to cook it a bit longer in my oven. It took two and a half hours and was not quite firm in the middle, but it was very tasty. My oven cooks very slow, so I should have known. I prefer the Lion House cheesecake recipe to any other with the yummy sour cream topping, but this was so delicious. With fresh raspberry topping, it was the perfect treat to the steak, potato's, and veggies.


Josh had various helpers to blow out the 3 and 9 candles!

Happy Birthday Josh! We were sad that we didn't get to be there for the usual birthday bash for you and Andrew. Oh well.. We will be down on the 17th for the game convention and for the rest of the weekend. We are excited to see everyone and hope there are more good times to be had at the Jorgensen's!
