Happy 30th Birthday Babe!!!


HE WAS SURPRISED!!!!! SUCCESS!!!! I LOVE surprising people!!!!!!! Especially my hubby!!!! :)

So...Ryan is the type of guy that never wants a present. For Christmas, he's always content....birthdays...never has any ideas on what he wants/needs. He's really just content with no presents half the time! (Let's just say I have a lot to learn from him). :)
So...for his 30th bday (which is on Monday), I really wanted to just GO ALL OUT for him. Especially since he goes all out for us working so hard all the time and putting up with so much estrogen in this house. :) So, this past month has been busy!!! I've been sneaking around and TRYING to hide all my emails to everyone and lying through my teeth about who sent me what text, and hiding food/drinks for the limo... But it WORKED! I thought he might have caught on....but he really seemed to have no clue cuz there were tears in his eyes! I LOVE THAT! :) :) :)
So this is what happened this morning. We had family pictures being taken from 10 - 11. 12 of Ryan's good buddies were meeting the Limo Bus at the church parking lot at 11:45 and then the limo would take them golfing - Ry's favorite thing in the world. Okay - so a little after 11, Ryan says, "let's bring my car to get an oil change." And I'm like "ahhh...!" So we quick take the girls and go....then when we're almost home Ry says "Let's stop home and get the dvds that are due back at the library." By this time it's like 11:20 and i'm like "AHHH!" So we start driving there...THEN he remembers that he left his golf clubs in the back of his car which is now at the oil change place (Brother Shane had asked him to go to the range this afternoon as a decoy). :) I'm like "OHHH MYYYY.." So I am like speeding all around and Ryan is like "You are the worst driver ever! Why are you so tense? Why are you driving so fast?" I just kept laughing and tried to tell him, calmly -eh hem, that's that how I always drive! :) So anyways, he did think that was a little weird. So we got home at like 11:43. PHEW! Good thing it actually took the guys a little bit to get over to our house. So....I was trying to stay outside so he could just see the limo drive up...but Ry got hungry and started making himself a lunch. I wanted to scream "you have LUNCH COMING IN THE LIMO!" But I didn't... So I was outside with e and h when I saw the limo driving up. I ran inside and told him that Shane was here already (they weren't supposed to go to the range til 1). So Ry came running out and then he proceeds to see all the guys file out and tell him to get on the bus! :) This is when he got a little teary and got SO PUMPED. You should have seen it. All the guys were like middle schoolers - so giddy. It is the most perfect day out today so they were all a little excited I think. :) So yea, then off he went! Another limo is picking them up after golf and bringing them downtown to the Ryan Braun restaurant - where all the ladies will be...and more couples who couldn't go golfing. SO FUN!
I love you so much Ryan!! You DESERVE this!!!! Hope you're having a HOOT!!! Happy 30th!!
Here he is eating....a couple minutes before the limo came...
Then out they come one by one....tons of his buddies...

They just kept coming!!
Inside the Limo Bus - I had to get a limo big enough for 12 guys and 12 sets of clubs!!! :)


Here I am "stalling" outside with my camera....sweet Em..
Absolutely GORGEOUS day... I'd say it's the best day of the YEAR actually. :) Fall in Wisconsin is heavenly. :)

The girlies were so confused what was happening too. Here they are waving goodbye. (Too bad Addy was shirtless. :) Ry was in the middle of changing her outfit when the limo pulled up). :)


Have fun Daddy!!! :) We are celebrating you ALL weekend!!! You're the BEST!!
What a BUSY but exciting month!! Whew!!!
