Happy 30th Tim!

So, 30 is pretty big and I wanted to give Tim a memorable birthday. I had lots of fun things planned but the icing on the cake was when Jason decided to fly down last minute-ish in a very top secret way. He flew in Thursday night (June 30th). I told Tim I had some last minute birthday things to pick up while he put the kids in bed and I left to pick up his last minute birthday thing: Jason. We were both excited. So about a minute out from home Jason calls Tim to tell him he hopes he has a Happy B-day and he's sorry he can't be there for the Big 3-oh. Then he says: 'hey what about this. If I got on a plane tonight Audrey could come pick me up and I'd be there for tomorrow. You know, maybe she'd go out grocery shopping and swing by the airport (at this point I'm opening the door) and bring me here and I'd walk the the door RIGHT NOW!" Then he walks through the door and jumps in front of Tim who's watching TV. It was awesome. Tim was totally surprised and all of our stealthy planning paid off. Here is a reenactment:

Tim, so unassuming, not ever dreaming I could or would pull this off

Hey Bro!

What the WHAT!?!

No Way!!!

Dude, this is the best! I can't believe you're here!

I had also called his boss a week and a half before and arranged for Tim to have the day off from work. So for Tim's b-day we made him a big breakfast, then Jason and Tim went and hung out, saw Transformers 3, and did brother stuff while I got everything ready for a surprise-ish party. I'm pretty sure Tim knew we were having a get together I'm just not sure he realized that I invited all of his friends over. We had some families, and my parents over for BBQ and we had a lot of fun.

Super fun birthday! The kids were of course so excited to have Uncle Jason for a visit. None of them knew that he was coming and when he got in they were already sleeping. So in the morning they come in to our bedroom and say "mom, who's that man on our couch?" Too funny. Here are some fun pics the night before he left:

Jason we are so glad you could come and hang out with us this weekend and celebrate with Tim. And Tim, I hope you had a fabulous birthday!
