Birthday Bowling Bonanza

Ah, yet another 30th birthday.  And who would we be not to celebrate such a joyous occasion?

The birthday victim this time...Mr. Curtis.  You've met him in other posts, he's no stranger to my camera that's for sure.  His lovely and tolerant wife planned a bowling birthday party for him complete with friends, family, food and fun!

First things first....here is Curtis and handsome little Jack.  Jack got to participate in Dad's big milestone event, and actually got to "bowl" for the first time.  I'm pretty sure he got a better score than me on my first game (I was trying to blame the miracle I'm growing, but I'm not sure it was his fault).  As for the picture in the bottom left, can't really explain?  Curtis "teaching" Lori to bowl?

In this picture I really just want to point out Jack in the top right picture...I mean if he isn't his father's son!  Could he stare that beer down anymore you think?  Bottom left displays all the pregnant chicks, boy it's fun to be pregnant for all of these 30th birthday parties (did that sound believable?).

And Finally, here are a few of the party goers.  I was trying to decide who had better form Riffee or Curtis...not gonna lie I think Riffee wins.  Next stop the Bowling Pro Tour (if there is such a thing).

Happy Birthday Curtis!  Thanks for sharing your special day with us, sorry you lost so bad!

Just Playing Around

I know I've talked a lot about how the little guy likes to play with all of his "guys", and anyone who has seen him in the past I don't know 3 months or so has heard ALL about them.  So I just wanted to share with you what I am talking about and dealing with on a daily basis.  I'm not sure where this obsession originated, but I think I have Grandma Struckmann to thank for this one!

Here is the bag that now goes everywhere with us...to the store, out to eat, to the sitter, to Grandma's House...I mean EVERYWHERE!  It's usually quite the dilemma trying to determine which guys get to come along.

Role Call..From left to right: "Minja Turtle", "Tie Guy", "Broken Guy", "Dad", and of course Rick Flair!

Oh and how could we forget the all important..."Plastic Man"

I don't know, I have to admit the whole "guys" obsession is pretty darn cute and it seems to keep his interest for more than 5 minutes at a time so I can't really complain.  I can complain about the fact that they are everywhere and seem to keep multiplying!

I Married an Older Man

That's right, Chad bit the big one and turned the big 3-0!  I figured we might as well embrace the oldness and have a little get together.  Some family + a few friends = drinking away your sorrows!

Here's how it went down.....

We went to a local establishment for this little shindig.  The evening included Food, Beer Pong (apparently you can just bring your own Beer Pong table to the bar???), A fun little drinking game (yes those are Cosmos those manly men are drinking) and a little bit of dancing......

This "fun" little drinking game was called Bar Golf. Basically there were different holes and you got points, or negative points, for what you completed at each hole. I believe only 3 teams finished the entire game! And it got ugly!!!  Remember when the boys were drinking Cosmos above...well these ladies were drinking 151!  They meant business!

So after the long evening of drinking, here are the results....(funny, the teams that came in 2nd and 3rd weren't up for a group pic to celebrate???)

No party would be complete without a few party pics....

And in case you were wondering, yes the Old Man was hurting a bit the next day. And what kind of "photographer" would I be if I didn't document the whole story???

Happy Birthday Chad!!!! I hope your 30th Birthday was everything you imagined it would be and more!
