Happy Birthday to the main man!

So Mike's birthday was April 27, as usual. And, as usual, he celebrated in typical Mike Daynes style:

He planned it for his actual b-day, even though it wasn't a convenient day for us (Becky and the kids). That's what makes it sooo Mike!

Here's what the Master planned and how it all went down:

1. 9:16 am - golf (3 attendees). He shot two birdies.
2. 2:30 - 4:00pm - lunch at Carls Jr. (four attendees)
3. 5:00-7:00pm - Wave House (18 attendees)
4. 7:30 - 9:00pm - Chilis (24 attendees)
5. 9:50pm - Gold Class movie - Source Code (5 attendees)

Here's some photos of the fun:

We managed to throw in one surprise for Mike before he headed out on his day of fun. The kids and I made him some crepes for the traditional b-day brekky in bed. Mike wanted it on the floor of the TV room instead so we delivered it to him on a brand new skateboard!




The four oldest kiddos and I met up with Mike at Sentosa for stage 3 of the birthday celebration to do some surfing and boogie-boarding at the Wavehouse. This was the first time for the kids and Becky but Mike had been there once or twice before...

Here's Bailey shredding on the "surfboard" - it's actually the size of a skateboard:



Here's Mike rippin' it up on the Flow Rider:



Jack is still unsure of what he thinks of the Wavehouse. His face tells the story:


Sammy was tearing it up:


Then there was me (Becky) - the biggest natural boogie boarder of them all! Although my face doesn't show it I had a great time and thought the wavehouse was really fun!




We were all feeling the birthday love! We missed Skylar but she would have been sad that she was too short to boogie board...




We love our friends who came out on a school night to celebrate Mike's big day! Singapore besties are the best!!!


I don't have any photos from stage 4 but I did get this lovely one of Spencer and Mike relaxing before the start of the movie (stage 5). Once you start going to movies Gold Class you don't want to go back to boring theater seats. However, it's a lot harder to stay awake!


We had such a great day with our friends. The only thing that could've possibly made Mike's day better would have been to have some of our family there from the U.S!

I know I speak for all of us in the M.Daynes family when I say how much we love our dad/husband! He's the most fun-lovin', party dad ever and keeps us all entertained! A great, big, happy Hank Aaron b-day to our favorite guy in the world!

Just-In Time!

This has been Justin Bieber week for the Daynes fam in Singapore! We saw the movie Newer Say Never this week-end, which is a documentary of Justin Bieber's life story. Then he came here in concert last night and sang his heart out for us...and 9,000 SCREAMING fans.



Since Mike always has 2 free tickets to any event in the Singapore Indoor Stadium I had the tough decision of deciding who would go to the show. I didn't think it would be fair to leave Carson out and just give the tickets to Sammy & Bailey so...I bought 2 extra tickets and surprised Carson with them one day before the show! So, Sammy, Bailey, Carson and me...as well as most of our American neighborhood went to the concert.


Sammy, Bailey, Lisel (Sammy's friend) and Carson are all wearing Justin's favorite colors: purple and green!



Bailey and her friends pre-funked before the concert over at Madyson's house. Her grandma brought them all matching t-shirts from the U.S. to wear to the concert! What a cute grandma!!!











Carson met up with his friend Ethan at the concert. Nice to have a buddy to hang with and get a break from ALL THE GIRLS!




Carson got a concert t-shirt as an early b-day gift! Sammy & Bailey both got t-shirts at the Taylor Swift concert.

I think Sammy & Bailey both enjoyed the T. Swift concert more than J.B. but they all still had a good time! This would have been Carson's first "pop concert!" He's also been to the Wiggles and the Doodlebops but nobody as big time as Justin Bieber! This guy is another Michael Jackson!!!
