"I'm a Man, I'm 40!"

My goal is to finish blogging our year by the end of this one... so I better get busy!

So as I mentioned Dave turned the big four-oh this past August.  And while we celebrated in a low key fashion on the actual birthday, he had the bash he wanted a week later.  Thanks to our friends Brian and Stephanie for lending us their house and beautifully redesigned pool for the day.

We catered food from a local Mexican Restaurant

The kids were in the pool all day long!

 So many of Dave's friends came throughout the day.  A couple of funny guys decided to add upon the "I'm a Man, I'm 40" theme Dave had going by decorating a pair of speedos.

 Even Dave's parents made it up from LA for the party.

And the kids are still swimming!  Who knows what Drew is doing in that picture...

And then Dave does the walk of shame... in Speedos!  He had to put on quite the show at first.

And then he took a plunge.

Drew kept coming up to us asking why Dad was in a bikini...

And then time for cake!  I have to admit our local Safeway Grocery Store did a great job with freehanding it!

After many hours the kids decided to get out of the pool and they roasted marshmallows.  It's the usual suspects for the kids..

Dave said he had the party he wanted.  We were glad his parents could make the quick weekend trip to spend time with him.  Drew was even reading some poetry to Abuela!

And Daddy had to get in there too...
