The Despain Review

Darrick & Nathan get to share their special day with one another. Nathan was born on Darrick's 30th birthday. When I asked him if he wanted me to try & stop the contractions his response was "no way....that would be the best birthday present ever!" So here the two are celebrating the big 38 & 8 years together.

It's hard to imagine that Nathan was born 8 years ago today. He has grown up so quickly & being the youngest of the family proves that time passes by way too fast.

He was born during the SLC 2002 Olympics & wanted to have an Olympic Birthday again this year. We are celebrating his friend party at the ice peaks skating arena (ice skating) & then dinner with our family afterwards. When asked where the two birthday boys wanted to go for dinner Nate quickly said "Village Inn because they have pie there." Darrick just smiled & said we'll see, but it looks like Village Inn is the place of choice. They better have good pie waiting :)

Afterwards we'll come back for cake (with the Olympic Rings on top) & ice cream (with friends & family) & watch the opening ceremony to the 2010 Olympics.

Happy Birthday to my Boys!!!

Here is a conversation that Shay & Nate had on Sun. morning while playing the wii. (I had to write this down....hope you enjoy)

Nathan: "Shay would you rather marry an UGLY girl or marry a boy?"

Shay: "Um, that's easy Nate....an ugly girl."

Moments later........

Nathan: "Shay would you rather I not be married at all or marry a boy?"

Shay: "Not be married at all!"

Nathan: "Good answer Shay!"

I laughed so hard when I heard this conversation because it was spoken with such seriousness.
