Would the fact that this was Brandon's opening line on his birthday suggest that he has an incredibly irritable, overbearing, domineering and demanding wife? I didn't think so either.
Just a few thoughts on this, the anniversary of your birth - a day for which I, for one, am particularly thankful.
Birthdays are good for you - statistics show that the people who have the most live the longest.
An old fart is just as good as a new one. (Especially relevant in our home.)
You are only young once, but you can be immature for a lifetime.
Birthdays are nature’s way of telling us to eat more cake. Words to live by. And we have.
Brandon's beary first birthday cake (pictured with a good family friend).
His enthusiasm for cake hasn't waned with the passing years.
Brandon's Mom has been making epic birthday cakes for her children for years, and continues the grand tradition with her grandchildren. As the birthdays go by, the birthday cakes seem to get more and more creative...
To celebrate 28 Mom Richards ventured into as yet uncharted territory with the coup de grâce of cakes. I give you...
THE JIMMER.
Jimmer, if you're reading this, forget the Oscar Robertson National Player of the Year Award (although congratulations are in order). You hadn't made it until Brandon Kenneth Richards of Moscow, Idaho requested a cake in your (jersey's) likeness. NOW to you I say: CONGRATULATIONS! You've joined the highly esteemed ranks of such legends as the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Superman. Now, sir, you are a star.
We had a smashing celebration as only The Extended Richardses (and award-winning circuses) can - said with love, we always have tons of fun! Brothers and sisters, parents, nieces and nephews and brother-in-law's mothers (no joke) came bearing gifts of movies, basketball cards and favourite toys (oh-so-sweet of Ben and Tyler to give Uncle Brandon things that they really cared about.)
3 pennies for your thoughts:
Word to Brandon. Several days after his day of birth. Word to his wife for writing this blog and keeping me entertained. :)
Love the Jimmer cake, so funny. We are also lovers of Jimmer in our house and may have to keep that cake in mind for bdays to come. Thanks for all the laughs.
I'm slow in writing this, but Happy Birthday to my favorite 28 year old son!! Making the cake was an honor. I had originally wanted to have Jimmer himself jump out of the cake, but he didn't seem to be available that weekend. Love you Brandon!!!
