simply put, i'd say too many pawn moves not enough piece development. Besides move 2 (i generally play exd5 rather than e5), you got alot of room but you got your pawns over extended and your pieces too passive. This is why your opponent was able to gobble up your kingside. Notice neither of your rooks nor one of your knights had moved, but none of your pawns are on their original starting squares. And given what happened to your king, I think you can see that castling is a wise way to protect them. The move h3 driving away the enemy knight weakened your kingside so you didnt want to castle later for fear of the knight fork of your queen and your rook. And it didnt really accomplish much, you would have been fine playing Nf3 instead of h3 that move.
Hope this didn't sound too critical, those were just my observations of the game without any real indepth analysis.

1) You didn't castle. By move 23 your K is feeling a draft.
2) Your moves 21-23 help him to move pieces towards your K! On 22, his knight moves over in response to a B trade. 23. c4 kicks his N to f4.
3) You didn't ever move/develop your queenside R and N.
