John's surprise birthday Party - 2001

I came across these pictures and thought it would be fun to post them now. The first year that John and I were married I threw a surprise birthday party for him. I called a few of his old mission companions, his family, and my family and we had the party at Peter Piper Pizza in Orem. It was a good time and I enjoyed coming across these pictures. Maybe I should perm my hair again! :)

John's Birthday Cake!

He was surprised alright! I told him that he needed to dress up, and get ready. I think he thought we were going to the temple or a nice restaurant...Hello Peter Piper Pizza! Hee hee!

Cute Valorey - She looks so little in this picture!

John's parents, and family came all the way from Salt Lake to Orem.

I gave him this Scooby Doo Blanket. We still have it (2010).

Karen & Chad brought this back from their Hawaii trip!

More presents. It was a fun party!

Ready to blow out the candles!

I think he got his wish!

Me, John, Tyler Mehl, and Amy Mehl. They later divorced.

Oh, how sweet!

Here's my dad. He never really liked social events, so it was so nice of him to come with my mom and siblings!

Enough said!
