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.
