Courtney turns 30

In August we celebrated Courtney's 30th birthday. We didn't have anything big planned but we did have fun. When Courtney got to work on his birthday, he was surprised to find his office completely filled with....all sorts of stuff. Seriously, it was pretty funny. There was all sorts of stereotypical "hillbilly/country" stuff.
The picture with the hand and the pen on the string is Court's new "palm pilot". The one you can't see the writing on is a sign showing off Courtney's retirement account, aka, the plastic container holding all of the coins. There was hay, saddles, sign, and all sorts of goodies everywhere (even a box of cow turd). The one picture is Court holding his new flyswapper. It is the kids favorite-unfortunatley, they already broke it. The whole family was able to go to Courtney's work for cake and ice cream. It was the first time that the kids had been so they got to meet everyone.

Later that night we had Jeremy, David (Courtney's boss') family, and Alan (guy Court works with) family over for a barbecue. We had Court's famous hamburgers, pasta salad, and fruit. It was all delicious. The kids made him some amazing things. He of course got a birthday crown, that is the most important part, and numerous other crafts. And finally, on Saturday we were able to go and find him some boots. Yep. It is official, he can now live in Texas. (We do laugh at this because he did grow up on a farm and have a lot of boots in his life but apparently you have to have boots in Texas.) We had a lot of fun and can't wait to celebrate many more.
