It's amazing how many people have birthdays from April through July! In our household, it's 75% of us (he he). It's crazy how fast the birthdays come - it's three quick booms, Zack then Nathan then Pete! This weekend was Pete's birthday. He had his birthday off (they made the guys work Canada Day and then gave them friday off for a long weekend - good trade!) so he spent the whole day with his friend Chris tearing apart his car (literally - there's no front end left, body and engine parts) to get it ready for Pete to turbo-charge it and add other cool racing parts like an intercooler and straight-pipe exhaust and other grey-area-barely-legal parts to make it go faster. So after he spent the day doing what he loves, the 4 of us went out for supper at Red Robin (Zack and Nathan's favorite restaurant) with Chris and his fiancee Brandy, and Kyle. We had a fun time and we were determined to make Pete as embarrassed as possible (HE says that...) and the waitress was happy to oblige - even some of the cooking staff came out to sing to Pete! It was hilarious.
The next day, keeping with the theme of the day before, Chris took Pete to the Rocky Mountain National drag races where from 8:30am to 11:00pm they got to watch crazy cool vehicles and eat steak. A true man's day (mind you I wouldn't have minded going at all...).
Yesterday we spent the day together and went to my Grandpa's 80th birthday party at Kinsmen Park. We had a great time, and Pete even brought his unicycle. The hills were sooo steep though - I've got some painful video footage of him wiping out. After that we came home to put the boys to bed and have some friends over and eat some cake. A great end to a fun weekend!
On Father's Day weekend we got Pete a pretty cool present for both his birthday and Father's Day. And what does Pete like better than car parts. So we got him catback exhaust for the car (which is nice - he gets to put it on, and I get to drive it!) which was received with so much excitement that it was installed the day we picked it up.
So Happy Birthday to Pete, my amazing husband that I love more and more every day.
