the surprise

So I decided it would be a good idea to have a surprise graduation party for Jason. I had it all planned out. He was going golfing with some friends and noon and then they would get him to go for a beer afterwards at the Mt. Pleasant Brewing Company (AKA the Tap Room). Well I noticed that our washer was leaking that morning and Jason decided to take on this job (as seen in picture above). To make a long story short, Jason broke a pipe, the laundry closet completely flooded and Jason told me he wasn't going golfing. To make another long story short, 3 trips to Home Depot later we got it fixed and cleaned up and Jason went golfing.
We really like the Tap Room. Its quaint and has a great atmosphere. They were nice enough to let us have Jason's party there and they catered appetizers. It was really nice.










I just invited our family and close friends. I wanted to invited everybody but had to keep it to about 30 people. This is Nate and Jen.








Jason's dad Dan and Grandma Betty were able to join us too.










I made these graduation cap pops. I think they turned out cute. I attempted a cake that ended up looking like Max decorated it so it got tossed in the garbage and I ordered one.













They did a much better job than I did lol













This is Melissa being her saucy self. Love that girl!

















Me, Brooke and baby Conner who still has 2 months in the oven.










Mitch and Cynthia came all the way from Grand Rapids via the Thumb to be at Jay's party. Thanks guys!











Jessica and Chappy. That's not Jessica's beer by the way. he he he









Jason got lots of nice gifts. People kept buying him alcohol for some reason!




Look, another bottle.








Congrats baby!







Trevor bought Jason a gag gift that included pom poms. This is what happens when you give Jay poms. Notice his brother in the background instructing him on how its done.







The boys even got to join us a little later! They had fun too.











Here Mitch is instructing Max on the proper procedure to opening a peanut.










Micah loves Uncle Sharpie!










The boys took turns looking cool in these shades.








Jason's dad, brother and boys. What a great group of guys!
