Happy 31 Jeffery

Here's my one and only picture of Jef'f's actual birthday. He worked all day, so I'm so glad that we celebrated so much over the weekend. Tyler reminded me that we needed to get poppers for daddy's big day.

I just love this guy:

Yellow pants (from fertilizing) and all!

Jeff's Birthday Celebrations

We started Jeff's Birthday Bash on Friday with a Surprise BBQ! My parents ordered it for him so his friend helped me pick it up and I surprised him by telling him there was a snake in the driveway. I'm a horrible liar, but Tyler kept looking around for the snake! Finally, Jeff walked out and smiled!

I took a picture and Jeff said Zoom in! Of course, here's our dinner Rib-Eye stakes, up close and personal!

This is the cake I made him! I asked Tyler if we should make Daddy a soccer ball or a baseball hat and he said, "or a spider!" So, spider it is...

With pudding guts in the middle! It was mighty tasty! I love my Betty Crocker bake'n'fill pans!
