Double Suprise Birthday

About a month ago I started planning a surprise birthday party for Justin. It was going to be a Movie Night theme and we were going to watch a movie in the backyard. I talked to Matt, Michael and Josh(Justin's 3 best friends) about taking him to see a movie while I decorated the house/yard, people got there and then we would surprise him when he got home. It all was going as planned until Matt told me that Justin felt bad about going to see a movie without me on my day off and just a few days before my birthday. So Matt and I decided that to avoid suspicion it would be best if I went to the movie with them. So we went to the movie and came home and walked in the house to hear "DOUBLE SUPRISE!!" And see these banners.

 Yup, with the masterminding middleman skills of our friend Matt. Justin and I had planned surprise birthday parties for each other the same day. And similar themes. Justin decided to go with a Hunger Games theme. Which went great with my Movie Night theme. So we ate pizza and pop corn in the back yard and watched the Hunger Games with friends. It was great!

I was too lazy to flip the picture :/

Candy, Oreos(Justins Fave) and a Hunger Games cake

Mindi and Annie did a great job decorating!!

Kool-Aid popcorn. Look it up on Pinterest. Make it. Its amazing!

Movie time!!

It was a great fun night. Thanks to all our friends who made it happen! Oh and just so you know, Justin and I planned the party on the same night by ourselves so then Matt worked out the details so they happened at the same time :)

Family Weekend at the Lake

Last weekend we went to the lake with my family, Justin and I drove out after he got off work at midnight on Friday. Annie & Kellen and Justin & I stayed in the bunkhouse my parents just finished building. Its super nice. Saturday morning we got up about 8 and packed up and headed to Lake Ivey. Once we got there we payed for a campsite, then Dad and the boys went down to the boat ramp to put the boat in the water and Mom and the girls went to the campsite and got stuff set up. We always go to the same camp spot. We call it our spot haha. 

 The boys pulling in

Amy being cute

Stella being a Monkey :)

After we set up camp a few of us went out and skiied. Then we came back and ate lunch while another group went out. (only 6 people can be on the boat at a time) I didn't get any pictures of anyone skiing because only Kellen, Mom, Jimmie and I skiied and either I was driving, I was skiing or I didn't have my camera. But heres some pics of the tubers throughout the day.

This was close to the end of the day, I had just thrown Justin & Kellen off the tube and Justin had a headache oops sorry babe!

Patty, Stella and Michael on the tube

Our cute little Zoey had fun on the boat lol she just sat there and chilled :)

Dad drove most of the time :)

We were going to go back to the lake on Sunday but most of us were too tired and sunburnt. So Dad, Kellen, Joshua, Jimmie, Stella, Michael and Matthew went back for a few hours and the rest of us napped, played "Just Dance" on the Wii and just hung out. When they got back Jimmie was very excited to tell us that while learning to ski today he got up the first try! Go Jimmie!! That night everyone from church came over and we played Minute to Win It. It was super fun! Thanks Bobby and Whitney! Then we ate and swam and hung out before Kellen, Justin, Annie and I headed home to do homework since Mom and Dads internet wasn't working. It was a great weekend! :) Can't wait to do it again!
