a 30th birthday party

We received an invitation to Kevin & Carla's 30th birthday party in the mail. They had the party at their parents house in Castaic. We were looking forward to it because Shannon, Kevin's sister was going to be there as well. She moved to Canada a year ago and it's been awhile since we last saw her. None of the Callahan's made it to our wedding because their smart brother had a wedding on the same day as us. I called him smart because he knows 6-28-08 is a good day to get married. hehehehe.... Anyway, the party was different from the usual parties we went.... this one had many babies. :-) I guess that's when you know you are going into a different stage of life.... Well, we had fun although I must say all evening I got an earful of how amazing babies are and how they change your life and how you never know you can love someone that dearly besides your husband, which I totally agree. Then there were questions like when are you going to have babies ... and how many would you like... and do you want boy or girl sorta questions. Of course there are also couple who advise not to rush into having kids and enjoy the "honeymoon" period while you can. Anyhoo, we have decided to wait... until the right time arrives. ;) Although I must admit, I felt tempted after seeing all these cute babies out there that day....

Kevin's mom loves horses, she had 3 miniature ponies at the backyard of their house. You heard it right... backyard of the house, she has a little ranch. They have a huge ass mansion.....

Cade won best behavior baby award

all these blond hair blue eyed babies... so cute!!!!
another happy family here... Eric, Katie and little Cade one happy family here... Beau, Kim & little Brandon. They just got back from Hawaii. I guessed that's why Brandon was so cranky that day.they catered mexican food.... not just any regular catering food they had them cook on the spot so we could have nice and hot tacos

floaty chairs...

a little mini bar.... mixing your own margarita. John is making me strawberry margarita
all these choices...
and then there was this tradition in their family. Kevin (the birthday boy) gets to pick 5 people to take the shots with him. Of course he doesn't need to pick, all the guys volunteered...!
neat idea.. for a birthday cake, they didn't opt for the traditional usual cake... they had mini cupcakes, that spelled out Happy 30th Birthday (middle), Kevin (left) Carla (right). I didn't get a chance to take a picture of all of the cupcakes... as you can see, some initials were gone.

the birthday boy & girl and their little one, Dylan

The rest of the nights ... the big kids turn to have fun!
