Wario

Stockton is allowed to call us on his parents' birthdays. Today is Mike's 46th birthday. Stockton texted Mike and asked him if he could join his zoom district meeting dressed as Wario. Wario was to be an investigator who loved the church but was having a problem with the concept of tithing. Stockton asked Mike if he could change his zoom name to Wario too. Let's just say that with little notice Mike pulled off an awesome Wario. It was so fun to watch Stockton lead a lesson. He is a fantastic missionary. I was laughing because I could just imagine the missionaries after thinking, "Stockton's Dad? That explains a lot!" Stockton didn't tell anyone he was going to do this. Not even his companion. Stockton knows how to keep things fun.

 Zoom meeting

Jorja had to work today, but we were able to open presents and play a game before she had to leave. Mike got the fancy water bottle we got yesterday. We also got him a portable car charger that my brother Mike told me about. Mike loved it. He's excited to use it on the riding lawn mowers. I didn't even think of that. I got the model that can jump start an RV. Seems like the first time we start it in the summer we have to jump it. This will be nice. Mike got himself a few presents. A blow torch thing that he wants to burn the stumps of trees with. A small cement mixer he is excited about, and another five pound bag of pez. Mike wanted to teach the kids how to play poker. I think Preston had asked him earlier. The Pez should last us for at least a year!

Mike wanted to make tacos for his birthday. After Jorja went to work we ventured out to get his cake and taco stuff. It was funny. I ordered the Cold Stone cake online. I clicked 'custom message' and wrote 'Happy Birthday Mike.' When I got there to pick up the cake they asked us what we wanted on the cake. They said if we click 'custom message' it just sends them 'custom message'. Haha. That seems like quite the flaw.

We had late night cake when Jorja got home from work. Luckily she didn't close. She got off at 10. The cake was delicious. Mike picked cake batter ice-cream with yellow cake. And that about did it for the day. Birthdays are fun.
