Happy 30 Birthday Brad!!

Okay, so this post is exactly a week late, but we've been busy!! Last Tuesday was Brad's birthday. The big 3-0. Wow! Anyway, the celebration day was Wednesday. I decided to throw Brad a birthday party BBQ. We had such a great time. The day was pretty stressful for a few reasons. One, Coop woke up from his nap with a fever and screaming. I was headed up to Logan that night and knew our insurance doesn't work up there so I decided to make a quick trip to the MD. Well, turns out he has a virus but he was fine....yup, paranoid mom. Anyway, the second reason is the fact that it decided to be windy that day...the table covers kept blowing off, the charcoal wouldn't light. Anyway, it all turned out fine despite the stress. We just started about a half hour after we were supposed to...oh well!

Happy Birthday Honey!!

The birthday boy arrived after being a half hour late golfing with friends....he didn't get in too much trouble. :)



We had about fifty friends, family and neighbors there. Thanks for coming and especially helping!!

Wow! You're so great to throw a party like that. My poor husband didn't get much of anything special for his 30th.

Looks like so much fun! Happy Birthday Brad . . . way late! I hope that Coop is feeling better. Give us a call next time you are up here. We'd love to meet up for lunch, dinner, ice cream. . . maybe an Aggie games. Aggies games just aren't the same without you there to laugh with me Ash!
Love ya!

Happy Birthday Brad! What a fun party. Thanks for the invite. Everything worked out great even with the wind. (gotta love the water balloons. That Martha Stewart is a genius!)
