JD Turns 30

I threw a big 30th birthday bash for JD...it was so stinkin' fun. I think we had probably 50 people in our house at one time, with standing room only- there sure are a lot of people who love JD! He absolutely refused to have a cupcake tower so we had to settle with a regular 'ol cherry chip cake (his fav). I tried to spruce it up a bit with some choc. covered strawberries. This is the only pic of the cake- I WISH I WOULD HAVE PULLED MY CAMERA OUT MORE!!! (total palm to the forehead...) As you can see, JD was checking out his new book in the background... one more cake pic...

Our friends, Sam and Kathy, made JD a Smith and Wesson cake - TOO cute! (if you can't already tell, we are WAY big on home made cakes at our house...)

This is Ryan helping me put together JD's scrapbook. Okay, okay, so he mostly just dulled the blade on my cutter but still...

Here's the front cover of JD's book...it was basically a collection of things that people wanted to share with him, stories that made them think of him, advice, etc, etc...

Some of the inside pages (I won't post them all...)

This one made him CRY (he's so sweet to show emotion like that...)

And after several rounds of "pong ball", a drinking game that JD was evidentally winning, his night rapidly came to a close...

Thankfully he had some great friends and a nice wife to hang around and help him out...lol
And yes, that is Sadie's (our dog) water dish!!!! EWWWWW
