Happy Birthday Jess and Rich!!!

Happy Birthday Jess and Rich!!!

I threw a surprise party for Jess and Rich's birthday's on Monday. Jess thought the party was just for Rich...there was no way I could have hidden it completely from her, but I think she was pretty surprised to find that people were bringing her gifts and cards and her name was on the cake. There were about 40 of our closest friends and family that showed up. Lots of food, lots of laughter and lots of kids running around (which was great entertainment). Thank you to our nephew Kasey (1) who volunteered to be the streaker! It's not a party until someone's runnin' naked through the house.

Karyn Christofferson playing with her son Riley and my friend Stephanie's daughter Lilly. I think the two had a lot of fun sharing slobber and toys.

My sister-in-law Kristie and our nephew Kasey (before the streaking).

Rich's brother Mike (no, they're not twins), "Pops" (Heather's dad) and my best friend Heather chowin' down on some spaghetti.

Colleen doing what she does best - - taking care of the kids.

My three "moms". Momma Renae (Heather's mom), my Momma, and Rich's mom Aldie....OH! and my father-in-law Cliff, too!

My two big brothers.

Our best friends Luis and Steph. Eat up, Steph! You're eating for two now!

One of my closest friends, Chrissy. Grabbin' a quick bite while Paisley is occupied with the other kids.

My friend Steph and her little girl Lilly. I'm so glad I finally was able to meet her! She is so beautiful....looks just like her momma!

Jess hangin' out with Carol and Darryl.

Heather, Steph and Luis. I love you guys!!!

Karyn and Riley. Riley is SUCH a good baby!

Me and Chrissy. I think this picture is missing something.....where's my Paisley???

Me and Jess just before the cake. I love the new outfit, Jess!

Me and my amazing friend Margaret. I look SO white next to her! I'm so glad you could make it, Margaret! Thanks for driving all the way from Sac. to hang out with us.

Me and my incredible momma. You don't see the family resemblance now, do you? I love you, momma!

Lighting the candles for Jess and Rich. Yummy Pig Pickin' Cake from The Cake Lady. Notice the kids anxiously waiting?

Apparently they're not TOO old....they managed to blow out all the candles.

Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday Jess and Rich....happy birthday to you! (No guarantee that was sung on key)

There's Paisley! Hanging out with her friend (our niece Shea). Don't ask me what Shea's doing.

And JUST when we thought the party was dying down, the Toyota guys showed up! Thank you, Jim for spreading the word quietly so Rich didn't get wind of it too soon. I'm glad you guys were able to make it.

Alex telling grandma stories. This was before HE went streaking too. The streaking thing must run in the family or something.

I caught Kasey trying to steal a beer after his bath time. Naughty naughty!

Happy birthday / anniversary, sweetie! I love you so much!

P.S. You're cute.

Rich and Jess opening their presents from me after the party.

Jess is wanting to go into the army after Zack is born, so I thought it was only appropriate to get her the "Army Brat" pajama pants that I found at the store. She looks really cute in them, too.

Jess was happy with the handheld Sodoku game I got her.
