Surprise!

It was my birthday. I was hungry but no one was moving. To make dinner at home or go somewhere. Jody had been texting so many people. He cleaned off our counter (love it empty but it rarely is). I received a random text from Erica about overtime. Other little things that may or may not have meant anything, but they did! I heard people outside, coming up the walk, then the doorbell rang and Jody just sat there waiting. So I was like umm... okay I will get it! Not too long before, the doorbell rang and he ran to get it.

Surprise!!! The surprise party came to my house!

I did not get pics of everyone there, unfortunately. What a bummer! I missed Hailey & Adam, Kelli & Roger, Becca, Grandma Harrison, Rachelle, Alan, and Cindy. I may have missed more, but I am still looking and remembering! Thanks to everyone who came. I know it was a last minute effort and Jody was not sure who to invite, etc.

Harley, Joel and Syd

Jody's creation (red velvet, vanilla pudding, lemon cake, whipped cream-- it was yummy!)

Waiting, in a safe corner, for someone to drop some food

CAKE please!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My mom, Tracy, Calleen, Joel, Harley, Hailey K

One of my gifts-- shoes to exercise in! The last time I bought some of those was in 2002 or 2003. They are pretty worn out!

Magic Bullet. I have heard its great, now I get to try! (our blender died)

Alli, Aidan and Sydney

Syd. She is everywhere! I guess that is a true two year old for you! My Dad, Jenni, and Erica holding Aidan

Jody and I. If you are wondering why we always have pics with that background, its cause that is the best spot for the camera to sit for self timer pics!

Stinker would not cooperate for the pictures

Hailey Kenney and Jake, just a chillin'

Alli multi tasking-- texting and playing with Sydney at the same time.

Erica loving Aidan. My kids have such great Aunts! (and Uncles too :))

My Sweety Baby!

My mom.

It was a way fun party and I am so glad that people came to hang out and have a good time. I have the best family and friends anyone could ask for :) Thanks Jenni and Erica for helping Jody pull it off!

The next night, we went to Texas Roadhouse with Seth and Nicole. I signed up for lots of places' clubs online and they send you free stuff. This was to take advantage of a free appetizer for my birthday. Yes, I am wearing the same thing as the night before. You can not tell by the pic but Nicole is like 6 months prego.
