Happy 24th Birthday Peter!


Peter had a whole day full of surprises! When he got up that morning the dining room was decorated especially for him! We had a BIG breakfast, followed by a "surprise" visit from Peter's family, and then dinner for two!





Peter's day!Mural of pictures from Peter's childhood. Isn't he so cute!

Our kids will be so adorable! =) Peter's Bday center piece! Representing his MANY accomplishments over the past year! I accidentally grabbed the wrong set of balloons, but by the time I got around to decorating his room (2am) I couldn't exchange them so "Happy Retirement" balloons were made to say Happy Birthday!
Our awesome friends, The Woolseys, took Peter and I out to his favorite restaurant On The Border for his birthday. I hope they will forgive us, but the only pictures we got were the ones Emma (their four year old) took of us! Marc is so excited to be out with his best bud Peter!
Amy and Savannah! So cute!Peter and Logan
Emma took this picture too.
She loves her dad!


Peter's "surprise" pool party. I'll tell you why surprise is in quotations...A few weeks before Peter's big day I sent out invitations to his family to come over for a family surprise party for Peter complete with a secret plan to get Peter out of the house so that his family could sneak in and get the party started. Well, that morning after breakfast Peter decides to call all the family to see if they want to come over and swim and bbq and well, as you can see...he wanted to do exactly what I had already planned for him! So, Peter single handedly manages to ruin his own "surprise" party! I should have figured we have been married so long that not only have we started to act like eachother, but we also think the same too! Peter got a big kick out of it when we told him what he had done!

My most favorite niece ever! I love being an Aunt!
Being Us!

We made up this see saw game, I think I won?!?!





Out to Fort Worth for Peter's special dinner

Great Piano EntertainmentPeter checks out the wall of stars.

We added our mark to the beautifully decorated walls! This place is so fun and relaxed and romantic all at the same time! I recommend the stuffed mushrooms, yum!



What a great day! Happy Birthday to the greatest husband anyone could ask for from your completely spoiled wife!



On another side note, Peter had just bought me some new jeans from one of my favorite stores the other day, so I wanted to wear them to dinner that night. Peter had cleaned them and put them in my closet (yes, because he spoils me so! I do my own laundry too!) so when I went to go try them on they were really, really tight. I wore them anyway though and when we got home that night I realized the new jeans I got were still folded in my closet! Turns out the ones I put on were some I hadn't worn since Middle School!!! I can be such a smarty pants sometimes =) Thankful that I had not gained 10 pounds in one week we got a good laugh out of it!

How fun!!! I did a surprise party for Clay's BDay yesterday with some of our friends from church. He had no idea! It was so fun to see his reaction. I am a dummy and didn't get any pictures. I need to be better at the picture thing. When do you want to get together. Call me some evening and lets chat!
Love Ya!
