Colton turned 27 this year! I took him on a surprise helicopter ride at the Eagle Mountain Pony Express days. This was after his big 6 hour long CFA exam the day before his birthday. We got lost trying to find where to go and he was kinda ornery after the exam...on top of starving. He thought I was taking him to the Clint Black concert, which I would've loved but this boy HATES country music. After last year's cool birthday surprise (sailing, which I still haven't posted yet!) I'm surprised he doubted me! Hope I don't run out of fun surprises any time soon!
27 Things About Colton (idea stolen from my friend Holly):
1. Miracle whip is probably his favorite food. He eats it on bread with dinner frequently, like bread and butter only bread and miracle whip...lots and lots of miracle whip.
2. His favorite things are probably eating and sleeping.
3. He LOVES all football of any kind.
4. His #1 school is of course the University of Utah...thus, the reason behind the cake decorations.
5. He was a BIG baby, almost 10 pounds! Sure hope our son is more like his mother in this department!
6. He liked cowboy stuff when he was little. Which is surprising to me because he's pretty anti-cowboy these days!
7. He drools in his sleep.
8. He sings in the car, but only if it's just him and I. Infact, knows the words to a Moulan Rouge song, it's even on one of his CDs not mine, and now I must learn the girl part of the song so I can't be outdone by my hubby!
9.One of his favorite disney movies is Sleeping Beauty.
10. He loves to debate/argue just for fun.
11. He hates vienna sausages...the only food I can think of that he strongly dislikes!
12. He drove all the way to Atlanta, Georgia without trading anyone and without stopping to sleep or rest!
13. He has worked on an oil rig twice now.
14. Bears were the thing he feared most as a little boy and he had "nightmares" about them. Now they are just called "dreams" because he beats them up! ;)
15. He eats very fast and is well known for his "Colton bites." He doesn't chew his food very well still it just all goes down almost whole.
16. He loves kids and especially getting them into trouble and making them do stuff to anger their parents.
17. His favorite pop is sprite.
18. He has a huge scar on his back from a wreck on a scooter when he was younger.
19. He doesn't like baseball and stopped playing when he was younger once the pitchers were throwing too fast and it made him nervous of getting hit.
20. He can do back flips while snowboarding.
21. (Are we to 27 yet? This is why I couldn't put this off for a later birthday, 27 things is tough!) He likes to watch Godzilla (the newer one) when he can't sleep at night.
22. Some of his favorite movies are The Count of Monte Cristo, X-Men, Transformers, and Ironman.
23. He swam as a part of a team triathlon before.
24. He has invested/traded millions of dollars for his company already at 1 year of working for them.
25. He can change the brakes on my car now! Yippee for not paying mechanic fees!
26. He is a crazy sleeper! He gets all tangled in the covers! He used to flail and accidentally hit me in his sleep but somehow he's trained not to do that anymore! :)
27. He is the luckiest person I know! Especially when it comes to guessing answers on test/trivia questions.
