 1 Can you believe how many showed up for your birthday!!! Unbelievable. Parking was at a premium.
|  2 Everyone got here and Dustin said "look at the clock." Pretty neat! Look closely.
|  3 Ahhh! Hello!!!! Don't you'll know that's how all this got started 44 years ago???
|  4 Happy birthday little Scott. April 23, 1962
|
 5 And many years later, Scott's sister, Stephanie, made the cake. Was yummy.
|  6 So I put the candles on the cake. Dustin asked if he could redo them as he thought they looked like a cemetery. Huh!!!! Of course I said yes.
|  7 They do look better. 44 on there and of course. . one to grow one.
|  8 I thought the holes rather interesting. What can I say! We're a crazy family.
|
 9 Dawn finally got them all lighted, and then Dustin, Lyndsey, Cody, Drew and Dean blew them out. Made a big fire.
|  10 There was a wall of pictures. That was fun. When everyone left, they got to take their pictures with them. We had pictures on several walls.
|  11 More pictures on another wall. I loved these walls.
