Our Sweet Boys: Happy Birthday Doug

This summer Doug celebrated his 38th birthday...I can't believe he is so close to the big 4-0! He was actually gone for two full weeks with his birthday sandwiched right in between. He seemed fine with that, but the boys and I were very sad to say the least. He arrived home late on a Friday night and the very next morning we had a couples shower at church that we helped to host. After the shower was over his hunting buddies from church came out to the car and watched as he received his gift from us...a hunting bow! He had been shopping for one while out of town and the same time I had already been to Bass Pro Shop and bought one with the help of his friend. His friend, Jason, helped me out and also stalled Doug from buying one out of town by telling him he had found a great deal at a pawn shop in Dallas and so don't buy anything while your gone...there was so much lying and laughing going on and Doug didn't have a clue!

A very happy Doug...he was the last one of his friends to get a bow for hunting season.

Just some of the hunting guys...Brian, Jason, and Doug.

We also had a surprise birthday party for Doug on Sunday afternoon. The boys did so well keeping our secret! We put the candles backwards as a joke.

The twins were so excited for their daddy's party. Blow daddy blow.

Connor was to busy playing with friends during cake time, but Batman and Grant were right there.

My mom and dad even went to Dallas and picked up my sweet Grandmother so that she could be a part of the festivities:)

Dad chillin'

Part of the party crowd.

This is the bowl of M&Ms that I had put out on the counter for all the adults to munch on, but...

Jax Dean found them and indulged himself.

In fact, he sat there for at least 20 minutes meticulously eating them and looking up at the table full of people watching him as if to make sure it was okay to take just one more. He had us in stitches with his mischievous looks!

Jax wandering if Aunt D is still watching him:)
