Owen and Grant Celebrating with their Dad.


Jeff's 40th Birthday had many parts which took a lot of planning on my part and many other people who love him. Thanks to everyone who was involved...you know who you are!!!

The first big event was that Jeff's great group of friends from college arranged to all fly to FL from different parts of the US. Jeff had no idea that they were coming for the weekend and they all surprised Jeff outside by the car and scared the pants off of him!!! From there all of his friends from Celebration met over at our house that night and went on a "monster bus" ride in the woods and after had a big bonfire. They all seemed to have a manly good time and there were many stories to be told once they arrived back home. Next, the college buddies and Jeff took off the next morning for Tampa for a morning of boating and celebrating "Gasparilla" in Tampa. This is a yearly event where pirates "invade" the city of Tampa and there is a lot of partying and celebrating going on(a perfect place for these guys right?) The guys returned Sunday to Celebration for a evening of poker with the Celebration crowd again. Overall it was a great time had by all and if you would like more details you will have to convince Jeff to tell you! The guys don't have any pictures from this weekend--wonder why?!

On Jeff's actual birthday he wanted the whole family to get dressed up and go out to Charlie's Steakhouse for dinner. We had a nice time there and that is when Jeff got his "big" gift for his birthday. He was told he would be going to Chile on a fly fishing trip with his friend Michael at the end of March. He was surprised and estatic! It was a great birthday of Jeff and we hope he knows how much he is loved!
