Happy Birthday Don!!!

So today is his big day. But, what do you get a man "who has everything" and can get whatever he wants? Kristy and I struggled with that last night and ended up with a Captain Moroni tie and a lens cap attacher, along with a card.

Yeah, I know, that's pretty lame, but look what he got for himself last week. It came on Friday while he was at work, so Kristy and I sang Happy Birthday to him when he got home. Might as well pretend this is his birthday present, right?

In case you can't tell... that is a computer...in pieces. The cars are all running fine and not needing to be taken apart and fixed, so I guess he decided he needed a project and bought a new computer -- in pieces.



Here it is, empty inside


A little later...


And now it's working.

He is really excited with how fast it runs. It will be replacing the desktop computer in the roll top desk and has several terrabytes of memory and several hard drives, with a couple of pieces still in the mail on the way. Oh the things that make him happy : )

The other day Kelly and Jenny were praising him for all the things he can do and fix: the dryer, the washer, the dishwasher, the cars, and now here he was building a computer. Yeah. His head was getting pretty big.

Love you Don!

Hope you had a great birthday. In case you didn't get our card it is on the way but we mailed it from a campground so who knows.

He already had a big head, literally. However, he is a pretty incredible dad. Maybe he deserves to have a big head.
