SAM IS 40!!!

The day started out with breakfast in bed.  The girls made sure he wore the birthday glasses.

The office staff had a great cake set up in the front office with 'over the hill' balloons and black decorations.   We had an office lunch at the golf course.  Amy had some fun decorations set up there as well.  I made a bald head cake, and Amy gave him some great "Old" presents.  The orange vest he has on has some great sayings on it.

The kids and I sang 'Happy Birthday' this evening and had his cake with ice-cream.  Maren made this great sign "Happy Berth Day Boldy"  And Sam had fun with the glasses and the candles.

Sam wasn't too excited for this day to come, but he ended up having a great day.  He still can't believe he had to work on his birthday, he didn't even get to sleep in.  Oh Well, there will be plenty of time for that when he is really old.

Love you Sam!  Hope you have a great year in this new decade.

Becca's 40th

I've thought of so many ways I could do this post. I was going to post the four different dinner/lunches that were given for the big 4 0. Our office luncheon, (the picture above), (thanks Amy for the announcement of how old I am), the family dinner on Sunday where Clint, Amy and kids, Jodi and Sedley, and Crystal came over for a yummy sloppy joe dinner. Mom was here to help make the dinner. I was so glad she was here to help celebrate the occasion. The luncheon on my birthday at Olive Garden with mom, Amy, Jodi, and Laurel (I got a great gag gift from Amy, a book called Sex after 40, open the book.....blank pages:). Then the dinner at Applebees with my little family later that evening, (Jackson and I got free ice cream sundaes).

It was suggested that I say 40 things about myself, which was a great idea, but my brain is too "old" to think of that right now.

I was going to scan a picture of me as a baby, close to when I was born, then one now. But It takes time to find the photos and scan.

I was going to give thanks to my husband for the beautiful roses and card he gave me, (picture of roses and scanned card and all), but I decided to save that one for my anniversary post next week.

So instead, I'll just say..........

I'm one year older and feel like I am still 20.

HERE'S TO A NEW DECADE!!!
