In September of last year I started planning for Tim's 30th surprise birthday weekend. The scheming was worth it and the weekend went off great! Tim came home from work and we headed to the airport... surprise #1. One of his best friends from college and his wife met us there... surprise #2. We arrived at our family ranch in Texas and went about a normal evening... surprise #3. About 11:00 p.m. his brother and three other friends from college came running (literally running) through the back door just in time to sing Happy Birthday... surprise #4. Tim was SO excited to see his friends. We ate cake and went to bed. Saturday and Sunday were full of great food, fun and fellowship. The guys were in full force with "guys" activities. So much fun.

On Friday I told Katelyn I had a surprise for Dad planned... can you see the anticipation on her face?
This was her response (right before Dad got home) when I unveiled our plans... she was super excited!
The big surprise!
Fishing and shooting snakes and turtles
breakfast at Rough Creek Lodge
shooting sporting clays
horseback riding on Sunny and Deuce
K got to meet her Uncle Peter for the first time
Mom did an incredible job preparing for the weekend... all her work is what made it great!
I was also grateful for her help with Katelyn so I could enjoy the great outdoors :)
all the guys
Katelyn had a fun time and did great on the airplane
when we got home Daddy told Katelyn all about the fun he had on his birthday!

Happy 30th Timmy!
