Sunday, July 18th Melinda turned 40. We decided to surprise her and were actually successful! Ron so graciously left the house open for us when they left for church. While they were away we were able to work make preparations. We shut the garage door so that when they pulled up and went to park in the garage we would surprise her. The plan worked and kudos to all the kiddos that knew and kept the secret!
Melinda is opening the gift that Melanie gave her.
Blake and Miranda
Emily gaining some more nail painting practice. Melanie loved the finished product.
Aunt Melanie has wanted to ride in the convertible for some time. She finally got her chance and enjoyed every minute. She was just beaming that Eugene took her and Dylan for a ride.
Trying to cool down in the shade.
April taking her turn at cranking the ice cream freezer.
Tyler, Chloe, Corinne, Melinda and Grandma Tyler all looking on waiting patiently!
Looks like big sis Haley was being a little ornery and a trouble maker. Hmm.....
Ice cream making session. We made cinnamon and vanilla.

Monica ordered the cake and asked for an old lady with blue or purple hair. The decorator must have been confused and color blind, however the cake still was kind of funny and definitely tasted good.
Blake was sad when the cake and ice cream was gone! We think he wished Daddy didn't eat as much of his serving.
Boy it looks like Ron is on a sugar high, while Chloe is trying to get every last bit of ice cream.
This homemade ice cream is good! The heat was getting to Miranda and Meredith was working on school work.
Corinne was so kind to let Chloe borrow her sneaks to ride the scooters. Flip flops were not going to keep her piggies safe!
Happy Birthday to Melinda! The party looks like it was fabulous! You guys are great!
