3 Cakes - 3 Celebrations - 1 Special Guy

When you are extra special you deserve extra special treatment and that's exactly what Tyler got for his birthday this year.  Who says turning 32 can't be great!?  And yep, I made all three cakes and I was pretty proud of myself for how they all turned out. :-)

Happy Birthday Tyler!
We love you!!!

Cake #1 - Texas Sheet cake

Good morning Birthday Boy!

Breakfast and the paper at 6:45 a.m.

The day before I blew up dozens of balloons and then during the night while Tyler was sleeping I put them all over the lawn.  Then the primary presidency added their birthday sign to the decor.  It was great!

What's a birthday without a big sign on your garage door!?  And if you look closely you can see his "Birthday Boy" pin that is on the strap of his man-bag.

And of course it's even better when your car is full of balloons too! :-)



And to make Tyler's birthday super special I surprised him with a weekend trip to Prescott.  (I even emailed his boss to get the PTO approved.)  There is a super cute Motor Lodge that Tyler's been wanting to stay at and so I made reservations and my parents flew out to watch the kids.  We went shopping Friday in Anthem and then headed up to Prescott.  The weather was absolutely gorgeous and the motel had beach cruisers that you could borrow to go around town.  So we rode bikes to all of our meals and also to tour downtown.






We went to a super yummy restaurant the first night - El Gato Azul (The blue cat)  It was fun to hear a local band perform while we ate and the weather was amazing.


This is city hall and they had a live performing and people were dancing.  It looked like it could have been out of a movie.

We overheard this couple talking about where they wanted to eat and heard them say the name of a local cafe so we thought we'd try it out for breakfast.  We were not disappointed one bit.  The portions were HUGE and the food was amazing!
