So for Matt's birthday, he requested to go to dinner at Texas Roadhouse. Charlene and Ardell came down in the afternoon and came to dinner with us. The boys were so excited that Matt chose Texas Roadhouse because he has to sit on the saddle for his birthday. They remembered from his last birthday. So the entire dinner Bridger kept asking "when is Daddy going to sit on the saddle?" At the end of dinner, our waitress brought out the saddle and had Matt sit on it. Instead of singing "happy birthday" they announce to the whole restaurant that it's your birthday and have everyone say "ye ha!" Matt was such a good sport. He told me during dinner that he was only doing it for the boys. He knew they would be disappointed if he didn't do it. Definitely true! The boys loved seeing Matt on the saddle. I loved their expressions. Bridger was a little disappointed that they didn't sing Matt "happy birthday." Bridger announced that he wants to go to Texas Roadhouse for his birthday so he can sit on the saddle.
After dinner Matt did what everyone dreams of doing for their birthday.....he went to Pack Meeting!!!! Chase was officially welcomed into my Bear Den. At the end, the Pack Master had Matt come up to the front of the room and everyone sang "Happy Birthday" to Matt. He was a good sport about it.
After Pack Meeting, we went back to the house for cake and ice cream. We invited the C's to come up and celebrate with us. I tired to buy Matt's favorite ice cream, chocolate marshmallow but the store didn't have any so I bought a carmel one instead. Matt loves chocolate cake and anything with carmel. After cake, we had a few neighbors stop by to wish Matt a happy birthday. We were thrilled to have the Blair family come over and visit for a while. We love them so much! It meant a lot to Matt that they would come over.
Matt actually opened up his presents before cake. The boys just couldn't wait. The boys gave Matt a "never flat" basketball which he was very excited about. The main thing Matt wished for was a heart rate monitor. So I surprised him with a polar heart rate monitor. I hope he likes it and more importantly uses it:) Happy birthday Matt! We love you so much and appreciate all you do for us. You are an amazing husband and father. You are constantly serving us and others.
