Am I really married to a 40 year old?

Leo back in the day....WAY back in the day!

So, this past week our family celebrated a huge milestone...Leo turned the big 4-0!

To celebrate Cheechers and I planned an elaborate surprise party....we came up with the whole thing while the Tuna's were staying with us this last month. I broke into Leo's phone and computer to find some of his contacts and we sent out the invitation below. I was worried the whole time that he would catch on to our scheming...but he didn't.

We had a great coverup that night...Leo had been asked to Karaoke sing a song at the good old Ward Ho-down. So, while we were there, Cheech and some other great family and friends set up all the decorations and food in the back yard. I told Haili to pretend she was sick at the Ward party...she did a great job, and Leo finally said, "Let's just take Haili home." Great acting Haili Boo!

When we got home, everyone was waiting in the backyard...it was a total surprise. We ate some great food and then many of his friends took turns coming up to the microphone to tell their funniest story of Leo. It was really great to see all our friends and family that care so much about Leo come out and support him and also to see what a crackup of a husband I have! So many of the stories were hilarious!

He isn't taking it too hard that he has hit 40...I think I am having a harder time dealing with it! 40 seems so freaking old!

Ask me where he is right now? He is on a "Wild Hogs" motorcycle trip with some of his friends to celebrate the joyous occassion. Believe you me, there will be plenty of pictures to come of his Harley get-up, tight leather chaps and skull shirts!

Amber and Leo, we were SO SO SO sad we had to miss Leo's party. I can only imagine how many "Mexican soap opera" and "Competitive game night" stories were told! WE love you Leo! Happy Birthday!
