Surprise 40th Birthday Party

Scott just turned 40!! We actually pulled off a surprise party for him! It was fun and we (as in me and the kids) we're really happy to do that for him...he had been having kind of a rough week and I kept thinking..."just hang on 'till Thursday...I know you'll be encouraged!!"

Scott has been going up to Buffalo Wild Wings on Thursday nights with several guys from church...so I figured that was probably the best place to surprise him, so I had friends and family gather in the private side room. Randy & John brought him over there and Jeff called him to tell him to meet in the side room. When they came in - I think to took a minute for him to "get" it. He said he was looking for Jeff - so it didn't really register "who" the other people were until the kids ran up to him. By the way...most of the kids didn't know until they were on their way to the party. I figured that was the best way to keep it a secret. How, you ask, do I know that he was surprised?? He hugged my brother Adam. Not that he doesn't love Adam...they just don't generally show their affection for each other by hugging! :-) It was a fun night.

He is such a great husband and father...it was the perfect time for us show him just how much we love and appreciate him!
