SURPRISE!!!!

Saturday March 7th was a HUGE day for us! Mason had his

9th birthday (WOW how time FLIES!) and Matt finished

his last class to complete graduate school (time didn't fly as

quickly in this case...hehe). I wanted to celebrate in a special

way so I planned a surprise party. The great thing was, it

really was a surprise, neither of them suspected a thing, yeah!

My Mom had Mason spend the night Friday and then Matt
picked him up on his way home from class about Noon so
they arrived home together. Matt almost ruined the plan
when he called at 11:00 and told me he was on his way home
from class AN HOUR EARLY!!!!!! Talk about panic. But
by sending him to Toys R Us to pick a present for Mason
and with some quick thinking by my Dad, we had him
diverted until the right time.....whew!


Ashton spent the night at our house Friday night
and as soon as Matt left for class that morning it
was a mad dash to get things ready. I have no idea
how I would have pulled it off without that girl!
She took care of my kids and helped me when I was
in the last minute panic. Thank you Ashton! There
were so many people who helped out, no way I
could have pulled this off on my own. Thanks to
everyone!

Here we are looking out the window as they drove
up.
Here they are, surprised.

We had about 40 people there. A few that couldn't

make it and several that we couldn't invite (our

house is just too small sometimes). We had a

great time! Happy Birthday Mason & Great Job

Matt!
