Ten Years To AARP


Last saturday was my wife's 40th birthday; a milestone b-day to say the least. So I decided to surprise her w/ family & friends on....sunday. But inorder to "sell it" the kiddos and I had a little birthday celebration for her saturday.


The saturday head-fake. Notice the sm cake,
cards and one gift (a dated DVD).
Dev even excused herself right afterward to
go to a friends b-day party :)




Then, after church sunday, we sprung the surprise!

Hooray! Well done! On Sat. did you pull the ol' "aw honey..I'm sorry it's not much..you know I'm not good at these kinda things"? I'm glad she was surprised!!

It must be a Texas thing.

Linda said...

Is Mary in any of the pics?

Linda said...

I need to think of what I'm doing for D in Sept!! ugh. I'm really NOT good at these kinds of things.

RecknHavic said...

Actually, that's almost verbatim to what I said. I added the ol "ya know w/ Bubba's graduation comin up there's just no time for any birthday parties" too.

She took it like a champ tho, not one complaint. Christ is alive & well in my wife's life!

RecknHavic said...

yeah, i hadta take it down for a minute & photoshop some of the background. You know how paranoid I am.

But, I finally learned how to edit pics, pretty neat.

Linda said...

I'm sure that's true, but really...what kinda person complains they didn't get a proper party? I suppose they're out there..glad you're not married to one.

Linda said...

Oh, there she is! Cute pic!

Linda said...

You forgot to photoshop the grocery list on the fridge!! AAAHHHH!!! Now we all know y'all like chips n dip!!!
:)

RecknHavic said...

Ha! Was there ever any doubt.

Linda said...

So did she get any 40 gag gifts? I got a cane..a sweatshirt with Edvard Munch's "The Scream" pic with a 40 cake in front of the ghoul. (Don't know if you know that piece), and some sorta goofy hat with "old" stuff on it.

RecknHavic said...

No, but i did tell her "happy birthday...I SAID HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!" mosta the day.

Linda said...

Ha! I suppose that's torturous enough..
sent you an email btw

Well I've seen commercials at work that say that you get SWEEEEEEET discounts on car insurance once you are an AARP member. So you've got that goin' for ya.

Nestor said...

Linda said...

Linda said...
