Happy 44th Dave...

July 10, 2013

 Happy 44th Dave!  We decided to have a surprise luau party.  Elora and Taylor let us have the party at their pool.  It was sooo much fun.  Dave almost ruined the surprise, by coming home early from work.  I had already told him we were going to go swimming at Elora's pool, but since he showed up early I had Dax run out and take him to the store to buy steaks.  We told him we had decided to BBQ and swim.  It all worked out, Dave just thought we were going for the BBQ.  He had no idea about the surprise party.  While they were at the store, I finished frosting cupcakes and put all the decorations, food and presents into the back of Daxton's car.  When they got home Dax left with Jada, and they got the whole party set up.  Thanks guys it looked awesome!

We were so glad the Byington's and Conder's celebrated with us...

Here is the cutest little party animal... That's right Nixon!  

We are so happy Elora and Taylor added this little guy to our family.  Having a nephew this cute makes it okay being a Great Aunt!

 Dax and Jada did such a good job decorating...

 I can not even begin to tell you how nice it is to have older kids that can help get ready for a party :)

 Let the party begin...

My husband is such a good lookin guy!  I am one lucky girl :).

Okay, I lied, Nixon wasn't the biggest party animal... Aunt Becky actually takes the cake on that one.  Plus, she just really loves to have her picture taken :).  We sure do love you Becky!

They must take after their Aunt Becky, 

because they sure like having their pictures taken!!

I am one lucky mama!!

Poor birthday boy... Still has to do the cooking on his birthday :)

I just had to throw this one in of Dave's Blue Steel face, and well, Taylor's awesome face!

We had steak for dinner, but then came Corey's birthday surprise for Dave, yep a brat... :(.  Don't let Dave's face fool you, he was in heaven!

 Corey and Dave love these, but just the smell of them makes me want to vomit...

Everyone enjoyed the pool...

Finally time for the birthday cake, or in this case the birthday strawberry cream cheese pie!

Happy birthday Dave!! We are so blessed to have this amazing husband and father in our lives.  We are so grateful for the many hours for hard work you do on our behalf.  

We sure do love you Dave!!!
