Bombarded with birthdays...

As if December and January weren't hectic enough with the holidays...we have celebrated around 10 birthdays over the last two months as well. Braydon's, my brother in law Shane's, my sister Courtney's, mine, my sister, Caseys, my neice Montana's, my neice Jacy's and three friends! Whew! We didn't make it to all the partys but we tried. Here are a few of the ones we have made it to:

Matthew's Surprise 16th:
Matthew is a friend of ours from church. He definetly had a memorable 16th birthday. His parents did one of the best jobs I've ever seen on a surprise party. Matthew arrived blindfolded at out church with his dad, where about 60 of his friends and family members were waiting. He had to walk a rope across the length of our church parking lot, where he finally felt something dangling on the rope. He was then silly-stringed by everyone silently waiting for him. Once he pulled off the blindfold, he saw that what was dangling from the rope was a set of keys and right in front of him was his first car! Cake and pizza inside the church while a slideshow of pictures of him played. It was perfect!!!! Good job Michael and Sarah!
Walking the rope...

Gotcha!!!

The car!!!

He's very thankful and a little emotional...

Cousins: Deacon, Montana, Braydon and Myani


Shane's 40th/Rock 'n Roll Playdate:
We celebrated my brother-in-laws b-day at their house before he left to go back to Pennsylvania to work. The kids had fun playing with the "paper jamz" guitars they got for Christmas!
