If anyone has been in or around our family for any period of time, it doesn't take very long to realize that we are quite the partying bunch. As a friend of mine said recently, "You all are just a party waiting to happen." Give us any excuse to get together to eat and laugh and we're there!
With Mike's 30th birthday last weekend, we didn't need a hunt for reason to party. We had an actual event to celebrate! So Melisa and crew decided to throw Mikey a surprise party. We didn't know if we could pull it off but then we remembered...he's a man - he's oblivious!! (No offense guys.) So Sunday after church, Mike, Poppy and Bret went back to Bret's house to watch the IU game while we girls got to work decorating and preparing for the party....all while the little ones scrambled around our feet. HUGE thanks to our resident party planner extraordinaire Miss Jodie for providing all the little extras that mean so much! While we were busy getting everything settled, Poppy and Bret had to properly time the ending of the ballgame with the beginning of the party. Bret kept trying to fast forward through commercials, halftime, etc... But Mike wasn't having any of it. More than once he told Bret, "...getting a little antsy aren't ya???" Finally he just said, "Give me the remote!" Anyhow, after giving him some lame excuse about Scott having car trouble in Atkinson Park (*see oblivious note above*), they finally got him there! He was welcomed with a big "Surprise!" by several family and friends. We all had a great time and it was nice to see so many friendly faces and catch up with people we haven't see in a while. Hopefully I can post some pictures soon of the big event.
Happy Valentine's Day!!

Happy Valentine's Day everyone! (Mikey - it's Valentine's Day!)Hope you read this before tomorrow, because you'll be in trouble. Yes, we are partiers! Let me reiterate a big thank you to Jodie who came prepared with not only food but a helium tank! Luke and Trey seemed to like that.
Love, MOM
"A party waiting to happen!" Now, how appropriate is that?!! (My personal congrats to whoever coined that one.) Heck, now that I think about it, let's just adopt that as our official family motto. Whaddya say? Of course, when it comes to The One-and-Only Mikey, nothing but a big blow-out would suffice! Happy, Happy, Mikey! And to all the party planners,it's your calling, so keep it going on!!!
