Mom's big day!

We hosted a family party for my mom's 60th last nite, the boys got all spiffed up...
Somehow we managed to actually surprise her! Dad had told her he was taking her out to dinner, she thought they were meeting Josh (and maybe Apryl, due to a slip by dad) there. She thought the boys and I were in Iowa with friends. Obviously, once she pulled into our driveway and saw all the cars she figured it out. She came in yelling, "You liars!"
Noah had a blast playing with his cousins. He and CJ re-purposed the Elephun game nets. Note how Noah (mr. bean head) can fit it over his noggin. And CJ (mr. einstein) cannot.

The highlight of the night was presenting her with a book of some 40 letters that friends and family had written to her. They included some great memories and embarassing photos. Josh did an awesome job putting the book together.
We spent much of the evening going through some old photos and people had brought to share. If you can see, in Dave's hand are pictures of Grandma B.
Here's to 60 more years with these monsters! Congrats Mom, we love you!
