Rick's 40th

Rick turned 40 this month and to celebrate we had a Lethal Weapon Marathon party. We invited friends over to dress up in either cop or 80's theme (movie came out in the 80's) and we watched the movies, played Ping Pong and Darts and ate LOTS of food! Here are some pictures to enjoy!~


Madison wanted "in" the basket to eat her Cheerios in peace!



Rick blowing out his 40 candles while holding an antique fire extinguisher! This was a DONUT cake!



Two good friends Sabrina and Aron in their 80's get up!





Good Friends Tia and Shane as Sexy Cop and CSI investigator!





If you are familiar with Lethal Weapon 2, you will most likely recognize this "rubber tree plant". (Tia made it for Rick!)






Roxy dressed in themed attire as well.








This was a fun shot of us getting ready for the party that morning. This is a gate that I use to partition Madison from the dog beds so they can sleep safely. We walked in and found they had herded her into a corner, waiting for Cheerios!





Hamburger and Donut cakes!







I wish this was bigger. This was Rick waiting to open his presents which hilariously turned out to be lots of old man stuff including Depends, "viagra", BenGay, Fiber, Centrum Silver etc. along with several bottles of various Jack Daniels products!








Even the bathrool was decorated. Sorry if you aren't a LW fan, you won't get this joke, but it was HILARIOUS at the party to hear everyone go into the bathroom and then start laughing!





This one is of Rick on his actual birthday which he spend with just Mad and myself. I asked him what kind of cake he wanted for his party and he said "You aren't MAKING me one?" Those of you who know me KNOW I don't cook...well I had the day off and I went ahead and attempted a boxed German Chocolate cake complete with hand crafted wording! He enjoyed it and even lit his own candles with his handy rifle lighter.



Yes, this is my shy husand dressed like Sgt. Riggs. Em came over and gave him a black Lei.





Madison didn't like her new "Daddy" and wasn't happy about posing. But she did have on a shirt that said "My Daddy is 40" as well as pink leggings complete with leg warmers. She wasn't feeling well and went to Mamo's early.





Here we are! The one and only photo of me (I did NOT post the one of me in my ACID WASH jeans from Ebay! I gained all my weight back and I refuse to post my fat self online)
Notice Rick's Lethal Weapon 4"0" hat!
We had a great time and at the end of the night I asked Rick how his birthday was and he said
"This is a birthday I will NEVER forget." I don't think he has ever had a birthday filled with so much fun being surrounded by his closest friends and felt so much love.
Life is good. Now the ticker is clicking away for my 40th and I am not as open to the idea as Rick was. This is going to be a hard one I think....
