Surprise! Happy Birthday!


As you all know last week was my Mom's birthday. My Mom has gone a lot of years without having any kind of big birthday celebration. Being a Mom she would put everyone else before herself. This year we decided it would be really fun to throw her a surprise party. After a couple of weeks of plotting we settled on the 13th of February (that way we knew for sure it would be a surprise). We had my Dad take her and the dogs to the dog park for their walk which is their usual routine and then we swooped in and set up. Jared and Emily bought a ton of cute tropical decorations, Brian made amazing enchilada's, and Terence and I bought the cake and ice cream. We hid all of our cars down at Redmond Elementary school. When my Mom and Dad got home we jumped out with the traditional SURPRISE! The party was a lot of fun and I think my Mom really enjoyed it! Happy (late) Birthday Mom!

The whole gang with our party hats on!

The cake with all 51 candles

My Mom's party had was an iguana, we made her wear it! The last picture is of my boys in their matching pj's. It's really hard to get one with both of them looking at the camera!

Cherry Hill 09

Hey Family! I am arranging our camp sites and such for Cherry Hill this summer. If you would like me to reserve a campsite for you please let me know. The dates that I have for us to be there are July 9th-13th. They are only open for a very short period of time Monday through Friday so they are hard to get a hold of so I want to make sure we account for everyone.
