He doesn't like cake much either so his "cake" was his birthday lasagna!
He had to go out of town the day after his birthday so I made him his birthday dinner on Monday so he had a few days to enjoy it. He likes leftovers of any kind but really likes lasagna left overs.
His presents this year consisted of stuff to fix a bike that we have had in the garage for a long time. It needed a new seat and new tires and tubes. He also got a bike helmet and some new athletic shorts and shirts. He wants to get into biking some and be able to ride with Caleb. We didn't wrap up his presents because he picked them out himself when we went to dinner and the temple the weekend before his birthday.
Let's see if I can come up with 43 things about him
1. He likes lasagna!

4. He likes really really hot salsa.
5. He puts Tapatio or hot sauce on almost everything.
6. He doesn't eat breakfast much but he will usually eat dinner and then have an after dinner dinner late at night.
7. He doesn't like to go to bed unless the house is all settled and everyone is in bed.
8. He doesn't like to watch movies in our room on our bed because he falls asleep.

10. The one show we can agree on to watch together is Big Bang Theory.
11. We used to watch Wings and Everybody Loves Raymond together late at night.

17. He has lots of scars on his body from football injuries.
18. One of his fingers does not bend at the last joint because he tore the ligament in it.

21. He is the second counselor in the Elders Quorum Presidency. I think he has been in 4 if not 5 Elders Quorum Presidencies.
22. He has taught at least 4 times in the last 2 months. Once because it was his regular turn but the others because their teachers called in the day of or the hour before saying they couldn't teach.

32. He likes to have the carpet in the front room vacuumed just so and he will ask me to give him the the vacuum so he can do the floor in there just the way he wants.

We love love love love our dad!
