Mom turned 30 today!
At work, her friends decorated the NICU with signs wishing her a happy birthday and bought her cookies.
Then, Dad had a big surprise.
It all started with these flowers (Mom really loved them). Dad had them sent to her work for a surprise, but the people at the loading dock lost them. So when Dad called that afternoon and casually asked if Mom had got anything at work, he was surprised when she said no. But after a few phone calls, the flowers were tracked down to the hospital distribution office. On the way out of work (90 minutes later than usual--bad day!), security let Mom and Dad into the office and there were the flowers, safe and sound.
So this is where it gets good. Dad had brought a gift bag into the hospital with him when he came in to get Mom. He said she should open it now. It was a new dress and jewelry!!! And he packed matching shoes and undergarments (good thinking, Dad!). He had a surprise planned...
So they got in the car and drove to the Velvet Dog for drinks.
Boy was Mom surprised when all her friends and Grandma and Grandpa were waiting there for her!!!
After a few appetizers and drinks, it was off to dinner in the Power and Light District at an Irish pub, Reglan Road. Dad said they had the best bread pudding ever.
Then everyone headed to Big Sky for some dancing and bull riding...
Here are all the girls
(Kelly, Ashley, Amber, Mom and Grandma J; Andrea had to go home early--Zach needs his sleep!)
And here are all the guys
(Shane, Grandpa Mike, Allen, Dad, and Brad; Mike H is in line for the bull, Mike J and Zach are home.
Where am I??? With Grandma P)
After a few drinks, Mike rode the bull...
Here he is getting bucked off.
Mom said she'll have to go back when she isn't in a dress for her turn.
Happy Birthday, Mom!
