Aunt Joni's Surprise Party

This is the summer for parties and weddings! Goodness! In a 3 week time span we went to or had Jeff's 60th, Aunt Debbie's 60th, Lily's 8th and Aunt Joni's surprise party. Uncle Gary got the word out about a surprise party in the works a week before the party. He was taking Aunt Joni and I her best friend to the boats in Shreveport. They would be gone a few days but would be returning Friday evening.  Family and friends were to be at the ranch in Alto between 6:30 and 7 and no later. We all drove up to the barns and were shuttled down so no cars were around the house. We waited outside around the pool and outdoor living area. Boy was it hot! Hot and humid! When they got to the house he told her they should show her friend the work they had done around the pool. They walked out onto the back porch and we all yelled....

... SURPRISE!!!!!

She was in shock! She couldn't believe how many people were there!

 Just trying to take it all in one person at a time! Here she is with Uncle Joe Tim.

Giving a quick kiss to her gran baby Layla (2 months old) and Kyler with Melissa and Talon.

This was the first time most of us had seen Miss Layla. She was PRECIOUS!!!  Little Joni taking a peek! Britney, Melissa's sister wasn't able to make it to the party. Britney and Melissa had their baby girls on the same exact day! How crazy wonderful is that!!! We hope to meet Miss Lillian at Thanksgiving!
