 Can you believe how many showed up for your birthday!!! Unbelievable. Parking was at a premium.
|  Everyone got here and Dustin said "look at the clock." Pretty neat! Look closely.
|  Ahhh! Hello!!!! Don't you'll know that's how all this got started 44 years ago???
|  Happy birthday little Scott.
April 23, 1962
|
 And many years later, Scott's sister, Stephanie, made the cake. Was yummy.
|  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.
|  They do look better. 44 on there and of course. . one to grow one.
|  I thought the holes rather interesting. What can I say! We're a crazy family.
|
 Dawn finally got them all lighted, and then Dustin, Lyndsey, Cody, Drew and Dean blew them out. Made a big fire.
|  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.
|  More pictures on another wall. I loved these walls.

 Hugging Dustin goodby before you left.
|  You and Lyndsey hugging goodby. Until we meet again dad.
|  Everyone got hugs. To the left is you and Cody hugging. To the right, little Dean.
|  Mom and dad saying goodby for awhile. It's hard. Hugs are forever.

 I know there's one of you and Drew somewhere. Here, Drew is the first one to get a hug and see you when you came home.
