40 year old bird man

I celebrated my 40th birthday last Saturday with some grouse hunting, some delicious homemade pizza, and a magnificent cake!

First things first I took my 9 year old daughter out grouse hunting up in the mountains.  Unfortunately we didn't have any luck, we put on about 6 miles and only flushed two blues.  We had a great time trudging around out in the woods though and saw some incredible country.

Then it was back home to my birthday dinner.  We don't have many traditions around our house, but one we do have is the person whose birthday it is gets to pick what they want.  I chose my wife's homemade pizza.....cause it's killer!  You can check it out here at Jess's Pizzaria.  Her pizza hit the spot dead on after a long day of running up and down the slopes.

Then came the biggest surprise of all, my birthday cake!  I have to admit it's rare that I get surprised, just ask my wife, I always seem to figure it out beforehand.  But I was totally caught off guard by this incredible cake my family got for me.  This was the best cake I've ever gotten, and truly iconic considering it was the beginning of bird hunting.  Thanks to my family for a great birthday!
