40's the new 28 :)



Ohhh what a cute baby Jonny was!
This is my very favorite little pic of him when he was about 4...look at that impish little grin...full of mischief. Not much has changed there!!!

You gotta love those switchblade combs...how cool were they?
To honor the "life changing event" and to usher in the "midlife crisis stage..." there was of course, a surprise party at Outback Steakhouse. Lots of great friends from all stages of his life came, and family, of course, to "honor" and "roast" the birthday boy!!!
We didn't want to burn down the building, so just a few candles were lit!!!!!

"What did you do woman?" Was the response I received for his b-day present!!!! (in case you didn't hear yet, it's a 2010 SS Camaro) SWEET!!!!!!!!!!! He is in absoloute love with it, and is like a kid again. He had Camaro's growing up and always wanted one on his 40th, but he didn't think I'd actually do it.....LOOK AT THOSE RIMS!!!!!! (he says that at least once a day!!!)
On his actual b-day and to celebrate our anniv. we went to San Francisco, San Diego and LA. We hiked up into the Redwoods and played at a very cold beach!!!
YES! We went to Wicked in 'Frisco....it was FREAKING AWESOME!!! (it's the second time we'd seen it and it will NOT be the last!!!!)
A HUGE highlight of our trip was to go to our very close friends, Cory and Nicole's sealing in the San Diego temple. I got to be her escort and Jon, a witness. We saw them sealed to their 4 great kids. It was such a great experience, we are sooooo happy for them and so thankful we got to share in their day!!!!

We went to "the happiest place on earth", just the 2 of us!!! WOW! It really can be HAPPY!! There was no arguing, fighting, pushing, whining.....and we really missed all that!!!! We had a great time together, but missed the kids!!!

My honey's 40....it's a big, big birthday. I know he'll just keep getting better and better though! Here's to at least 60 more babe!!!!!!!!! Whoooo Hooooo!!!!
