Karl's birthday was yesterday and we had a great time celebrating!
First of all, this guy loves his birthday. He was so excited about it all month!
His family has a lot of fun traditions for birthdays.
First: Family breakfast including bacon, juice, and french toast smothered in a delicious secret sauce.
Next: Family dinner. The birthday person gets to pick whatever they want for dinner. Yesterday the birthday boy decided to have pasta a la carbanara (his favorite). Accompanying dinner is one of the Beckert's favorite birthday games: Favorite Moments with the birthday person. Everyone describes their favorite moment with the birthday person! I learned a lot of fun things about Karl like:
Third: Opening presents time!
The best part of this segment of birthday awesomness was when his cousins Gabriel and Patrick came over. Gabe made Karl a way cool pop up birthday card. Patrick ran up to Karl, gave him a hug, and said, "You're a pansy and Happy Birthday!" It was funny because Karl and Emily are the ones who taught Patrick to call people pansies:)
It was so much fun getting to spend time with him on his birthday and get to hangout with his family.
I just love that boy more and more all of the time.
He always knows when to make me laugh or when I need to talk seriously about something and he even handles thing so well when I need to cry.
Last week was the first time I cried in front of him and although I absolutely hate crying, it was a very therapeutic experience.
He just held me and let me cry and when I was ready to talk about it, he let me talk.
I am one lucky girl:)
Only 3 weeks and 1 day until we are married for forever!!!

I learned a lot of fun things about Karl like:
-For his 13 birthday, he and some friends watched Jurassic Park in French because the dinosaurs roar differently
-He was very protective of his sister Tori when she was first born. He is right next to her in every picture:)
-He was OBSESSED with Ninja Turtles and used to have a Leonardo cake every year for his birthday
- He got his siblings lost while riding their bikes a few times in Arizona
and one of my favorite new pieces of info on Karl is.....
-When he was a toddler, before his dad put him to bed so he could watch whatever game was on, Karl would have his dad pitch a baseball to him which he would hit, run after and bring it right back. His dad never had to take his eyes off the game:)
