Surprise! Surprise!




We surprised Doug for his 40th birthday party! Thanks to my gal pals and their great husbands, we were able to pull this party off without him finding out! I also appreciate my niece Tamara and her great 80s videos....they were a hit!

Doug now his year supply of Snickers & Oreos. In case of emergency, we're set! He also got some great 80s CDs that we can add to our Ipod and listen to while we work! The best gift of all was spending time with our friends!

We have some great friends: Jerome & Annie King, Jo & Katherine Mardesich, Scott & Kelly Amussen, Doug's mom & dad, Jenn & Marc Wisner, Laura & Mike Riss, Heather & Devry Anderson, Giselle & Steve Conlee, Cassie & Chad Kerby, Autumn & Brent Christensen, Michelle & Roscoe Allen, & Melanie & Bill McBee.

Since we didn't want to set off the fire alarms, we settled for the Over the Hill Candle & the number 40! We think that is sufficient for all the hot air that Doug sometimes has!

Gal pals doing what we do best....gabbing & having a great time together!

The Tippetts' & our SC friend Paige Allen scooted out a bit early before our group pic. However, doesn't Jody seem captivated by Doug's 40 year old wisdom?

Doug got a load of snickers & oreos (his faves)! He, Steve & Roscoe are stocking up for their next scout campout. As we understand it, it is the staple food for all scout outings!

Happy 40th Birthday Doug! We love ya!

Thanks to all those who came & those who sent Words of Wisdom for his memory book! It is a great memory & keepsake!

I'm glad that you guys had fun. It's times like this that I miss getting together at Grandma and Grandpa's house with the whole family. I wish I could have been there with ya'll. Happy Birthday
