Happy Birthday Connor!

My baby is 6.  Where did the time go.  I feel like it was just uesterday that we were up every 2 hours with this kid and know he is 6.  Connor is my child that whines just about everything that he has to do, but most days will just get it done.  He loves playing basball, but has not had a game yet this year because of the cold, wet, spring that we have had.  Hopefully this will change soon.  He loves going to school, and loves playing with his friends.  Happy birthday buddy.  We love you!

Happy Birthday Jon!

So about 1 year ago, I decided that for Jon's 40th birthday that I was going to do a surprise party.  So for the past year I have been thinking about what to do and who to invite.  It's amazing how fast a year goes and one day the party is here.
I had to make up a story that we were going out with friends so I could get Jon out of the house and not doing training with his new dog Kliff.  So I invited friends from his past and a lot of good new friends.  I was a nervous wreck all day hoping that everything would work out.  So I told him that we would be meeting our friends to eat at 7 p.m.  So Jon wanted to leave our house at 6:15 so I was coming up with excuses on how not to leave until 6:30, since I told everyone to be at my parents house at 6:30.  So I could not take it any longer and we left at 6:25.  Unfortunately we hit all of the lights green from our house to my mom's.   That has never happened before.  When we got there at 6:35 I noticed one of our friends just running into my mom's house.  Jon started freaking out thinking someone was in trying to rob my mom.  He goes into the house and talk in his loud voice..WHO IS THAT LADY IN A FLOWER SHIRT THAT JUST RAN INTO YOUR HOUSE.  He found  my mom coming up the stairs and says it again where did that lady go that ran into your house.  My mom had no clue what to say, so I just said take our stuff downstairs so we can go.  He walked downstairs and go the surprise of a lifetime.  He had no clue that I was planning this party.  He got what he wanted, lots of black balloons and friends to celebrate. 

Happy 40th Birthday Jon!
