!!!SURPRISE!!!

As most of you know, Kelly threw a surprise birthday party for me and I was very surprised and clueless to the end. She contacted every family member in the Utah valley area and even some friends. She had it in the works for a few weeks or more. Even some cousins I haven't seen much were there and we all had fun playing games like psychiatrist and a few others. Jaren and Melinda were in on it and "trapped" me at their house to help watch the kids while she did some mid-terms and to this day I don't know how much of that was true... they were all sly. So Jarendrove me back to my place to get Kelly to go to Red Robin and I walked in and "SURPRISE" my house was full of people and people and more people. Jaren, Melinda, JJ, Ryan, Chase, Kelly, Emily, David, Dad Clark, Jenny, Sarah, Amy, Aunt Angie, Lacy, Haylie, Jason, Steve, Erica, Benjamin (their boy), Kaylie, Mindy, Dani, Sam, Ryan, and Jennifer were there... Theyapparently helped Kelly decorate with balloons and crepe paper. We had pizza and lots of candy and ice cream. It was so much fun and it meant so much to me that so many people came even if we hadn't seen each other much over the past 20 years. It was fun. Thank you all for coming and for the enjoyable gifts. Thanks for helping Kelly and keeping it a secret. Here are a few pictures, some might make you laugh a little (there are few guys who like to make funny faces). 

I am so grateful for my wonderful wife, she always amazes me and has the greatest influence on me. She is too wonderful and fun to describe, I wish I could describe it cuz then you would all ooh! and aah! and even laugh a bit, cuz she is funny. She is my key to happiness and joy.
