"I'm Feelin' 22!"

It's Colton's birthday today!  This has been a year of big changes for him.  Last year he was still on his mission.  Since then, he came home, started dating a great girl, got a good job, got back into school, started going to a new ward, bought a car, got a new apartment, married that great girl... wow!  We're proud of you, Colton, for the hard-working, honest, responsible, smart man you have become, and for the good choices you are making!!  The newlyweds came over last night to celebrate with a yummy salmon AND halibut dinner!  Spoiled, I know!

This was just to prove that we can all still fit on the couch together.  Well, kinda!

Heavy, heavy hang over thy poor head...

Karlee gave Colton this awesome new racquetball racquet, which is a perfect gift!

We gave Colton a big footlocker box full of cookie ingredients.

And for practical as well as sentimental reasons, an apple cookie jar.  We thought he needed one like his mother and grandmother have.

Karlee brought over the most de-luscious cheesecake ever!!  There were only 2 candles on it.  2!  Guess how many Colton blew out the first time?  0!!  Yep, he needed a second take to get those 2 candles blown out.  You're getting old, man.  The Ulriches came over and ate up the cheesecake with us, and then we ended the night with some Killer Bunnies.

And despite Karlee's less than enthusiastic face here, she and I WON!  We're going to play as a team from now on!!  Have a spectacular birthday, Colton!
