Merritt and Justin, the big 30
I suprized Justin with a big party!!! His friend Merritt turns 30 the next week and his wife and I decided to throw them a party. We had over 30 people show up and bought 30 different types of candy. We threw the party at our new house and projected Charlie and the Chocolate Factory onto the wall in the Master Bedroom. We had 2 more rooms for entertainment, one for adults to visit and talk, and another for the young children that were not statisfied with a movie. The party was fun, and I kept it a suprise all until the end. The dentist he works with called to say he couldn't come, but wanted to drop off treats.. I tried to lie my way out of that one, but Justin knows I don't talk to him all that often, I usually talk to his wife..needless to say he knew something was up, but that was less than an hour before the party started. I was excited.
The kids LOVED the movie, many of them had not seen it before.
The adult room socializers.
Kids and people everywhere.. Tons of fun.
We have been asked to keep this house as a party house and to never move it.. We are sad to say we will be moving soon, but the parties will continue.
I think one of my favorite things is seeing how much my kids love my parents. Brayden and Camden both would wake up looking for her. At one point Brayden told me that he wanted to go to the Library with Grandma, no mommy or daddy to come with us. It was so much fun to see them in love with her. 
Grandma came to help us, and boy did she help us. She watched and played with the kids for two days straight while Justin and I put in 10 hour days at the house. There is so much painting and projects that it was nice to have my kids occupied and happy.
The boys LOVE the missionaries, and I mean LOVE them. One of them have been here for over 7 months and they have had so much fun with them. Brayden has an uncle on a mission and we pray for him regularly, and talk about missionaries. Today he asked if they were coming over, because he misses them. I love good examples in their lives.. Thanks guys!!
