BIlly's 40th Birthday

Here's a peek of how Billy spent his 40th birthday.
 
I got up real early and put this embarassing sign in our front yard for all to see!
 
Of course every old man needs black balloons.
 
Bailee asked me why I put Rest in Peace on Daddy's cake. I said it was just a joke about getting old. She tells me, Mom. I don't think it is very funny to joke about Daddy dying. She was so serious. I had to turn my head so she didn't see me snicker. Though I did assure her that it was all in fun and Daddy wasn't going to die.

 
Billy spent most of his birthday with Brandon ripping out the bushes infront of our house. This was his idea everyone. I did not request it.
 
It was sooo stinkin' hot outside!. I'm surprised those two didn't get heat stroke.
 
They worked really hard. No more bushes!
 
Then, Billy got to use the birthday present I gave him, a GPS car navigation system, to find their way to the dump to get rid of all this stuff.

 
Billy kept telling me he did not want a party, well he was turning 40 and he was getting a party whether he liked it or not. It's special. It's a milestone. For weeks, behind his back I have been scheaming with his buddies and our friends. El Chico was about the only place I could find that would take us on a weekend, so I took it. I had to think of how to get him there because I knew he wouldn't pick it for his Birthday dinner. Things just fell into place when he ran into Mike the morning of his birthday. He was giving him a hard time about the sign I put in the yard and then said hey, let's go out to dinner for your birthday. Billy says okay, have your wife call my wife and set it up. How perfect! I tell him that Melissa is going to pick us up and it's a surprise. He asked me if I knew where and I said no. He's says yeah because they know you can't keep a secret. I had my best poker face. He didn't suspect a thing!
 
I got him! I got him all the way into the restaurant and I tell the hostess we're there to meet someone and she says, Oh for the Birthday party? Oh, Man! I gave her THE LOOK, but Billy heard her. I just had to get him 5 more feet.
 
Oh, well. He was still surprised when he turned the corner and saw a bunch of our friends. It was great!

 
The waiter gave everyone these discount envelopes. A manager had to open them, so Billy and Mike were holding their's up to lights to see if they could see through.
 
Even our waiter was helping.
 
Of course it wouldn't be a night without a little drama from Kassi Poo.
 
Billy was a good sport with the Sombrero. ai,yai,yai! Feliz Compleanos!

 
The Fam with our "other daughter" Evan.
 
The fam again without Evan.
 
Billy blowing out candles. He wouldn't even let me light all of them. I don't think there was 40 on there anyway.
 
The girls wanted to blow candles out too!
It was a great birthday. Thanks to everyone who came and kept the surprise a secret! Thanks to all who sent him emails too. He really enjoyed hearing from everyone.

40 Years of Billy

I worked on this for awhile and spent hours looking for the right songs and couldn't come up with any,so I just used some stock songs at my montage site. I think they go okay. Anyway, HAPPY BIRTHDAY BILLY! Wow, I can't believe he's 40! He looks good though I have to say. I still think he's a hottie. :-) Honey, I hope you have a great day. I love you. I appreciate all you do for our family. We are very blessed that you are ours. You are amazing and we are your biggest fans. I hope the next 40 are better than the first. Happy Birthday and many more.

Stylin' Dude

As if my poor little doggie wasn't humiliated enough, I bought him a shirt! I know it is lame to dress up your pets, but I was only considering it because the poor thing has been shaking and shivering since I brought him home Wednesday. I guess he is a little cold in the A/C without his hair. The girls and I were at WalMart and this little shirt was on clearance for $2. If it wasn't so cheap I wouldn't have bought it. There were many to choose from, but I liked this one the best. Bailee and Kassi were begging me to get the little Tinkerbell dress. Cute as it was I had to keep a little dignity for Dude. After all, he is still a boy! I'm sure he is thinking his humans have lost their minds. I have to admit that I think the shirt is cute. He doesn't look so naked.
 
 

Is that my dog? Poor Dooder!

So,I've been a not so good pet parent to my poor Coton De Tulear, Dude or as we affectionately call him Dooder. He is normally a fluffy long haired dog, but when he blew his baby hair coat, I didn't keep up on him so great and he got really matted. He needed to be fixed as he kept humping my kids and his Lilo and Stitch doll. I figured it would be easiest to get him fixed and his mats shaved off while he was under anesthesia. I had tried to comb him and cut through his mats, but he was just not having it. I took him to the vet this morning and when I picked him up this afternoon I was shocked. This was not the dog I dropped off! I didn't expect them to shave his face and ears. All they left was the plume on his tail. I'm sure the poor thing is humiliated waking up with no nuts and no hair looking like a chihuahua or weiner dog. I didn't realize he was so skinny! I guess this way it will grow out even. I will be glad when he is looking a little fluffier again!

A Young Micheal Phelps????

Since watching Michael Phelps in the Olympics, Billy and I thought that our nephew, Tyler looked like a young Micheal Phelps. May be not exactly, but possibly look related in the very least. What do you think? Take my poll on the side bar. Yes, Tyler I stole your pic off your MySpace!

Second Day of School--We Made It!

All right! We actually made it on the bus without having to chase it down this morning. Of course, to prevent this we were out in the driveway at 7:30. Then, what do you know? The bus doesn't show up until 7:41, which is still earlier than the 7:44 I was told, but later than yesterday. So, we waited in the rain. (Okay it was just sprinkling, but it's the principle of the matter.)But, I got my quality time with my Boo Bear. When she got home from school yesterday she said, we didn't get to do our thing. I told her I thought about that all day too. So, we made sure we got it all the good bye hugs, squeezes, and mantras in this morning. I'm glad I'm still cool enough to do that! I took more pics, not only because she looked cute, but wanted to document her actually getting on the bus. Plus, I learned how to do this cool corkscrew braid.
