Surprise!! Happy Birthday!!!

April 1, 2009 - With Andy up in Appleton, WI during the week we have not seen him a whole lot lately. We didn't want him to spend his birthday all alone in an apartment so we decided to bake cookies for the employees and surprise Daddy at work. Boy, was he surprised!!!

MaKayla ran to him with a handful of balloons. Daddy was excited. She even made him a card and picked out her own little present for him. It was a little toy figure horse in a box. She was so proud to give it to him!

Here is Daddy and Noah in his office. We went to Texas Roadhouse for dinner. I didn't realize that when I asked them to sing for him that he would end up on a saddle swinging a napkin. He was embarrassed but MaKayla loved it!

Our gift to Daddy was a flight lesson. He has always talked about wanting to learn to fly so I thought this was the perfect gift. When he came home for the weekend we made a trip out to the Poplar Grove airport for his first lesson.

Here he is next to the plane he flew. I was very impressed with the amount of training he received for an introductory lesson. Especially for the low price that I paid! Now, the problem is topping this gift in the future. I will have to be creative =). I would recommend it even this to anyone who is interested in planes.

What a great idea to give Andy a flight lesson. Josh's mom gave him one a few years ago and he loved it.
