Brady's 12th Birthday

So Brady turned 12 on the 6th. He was pretty excited for this birthday. All I know is the deer better watch out because the "Deer Slayer" is coming for them...ha ha.

I made his favorite meal for him for dinner, which is meatloaf, mashed potatoes & gravy, corn and dinner rolls. Since we have venison in the freezer, I used some for the meatloaf this year and it actually turned out pretty good. I have to say, I'm slowing getting back to being able to eat venison again. The deer they got isn't nasty like the last one was that Monte got when we lived over here before. Its been since that nasty thing that I haven't been able to eat venison. I still like beef better, but venison isn't so bad to me anymore. After dinner, we had double chocolate fudge cake with vanilla frosting. It was just a box cake that I made, but it turned out really good.

Darron, Ann and the girls came over to wish Brady a happy birthday and to bring him a gift. They got him a couple camoflage head/face covers, hand warmers and some beef jerkey. Brady loved it. He loves getting anything that is for hunting. He also got a pair of camoflage sunglasses and some money from Grandma & Grandpa and Monte, Nate and I got him his PSP and the Star Wars: the Force Unleashed game. Grandma Gloria has a card and birthday money on the way.

Brady wanted to go hunting on his birthday, but it gets dark so early now, that they didn't make it out. But, Monte got off work early on Friday, so he had everything ready to go out when Brady got home from school. All he had to do was change his clothes and they were out the door. Didn't see any deer though, except when they were in the truck and headed home, but that's how it goes sometimes.

All in all, it was a good day. We enjoyed some great family time and Brady loved the gifts he got, thank you again everyone. I am so proud of Brady. He is an amazing boy and a wonderful son. I thank God for blessing me with him!

Have a great weekend everyone. God Bless! :)
