Surprise!

Aaron's mom called me a month ago asking if it would be okay if they could fly in and surprise Aaron for his birthday. Silly question, of Course!  I got home from visiting Des on Wednesday night and circled back to the airport Thursday morning to pick Pam and Doyle up.  We drove straight from the airport to Aaron's office.  It was PRICELESS!!  I really can't believe I didn't have my camera or phone to catch the moment.  He said hi, then a double take....took a minute to process and then welled up with tears. 

Daughter like father.  
I did manage a blurry shot of Ry and her tears of joy!

 They used the opportunity to bring Aaron two guns that he had been given by his two grandpa's.  Just what he needed!!  He "ONLY" had 7 before!   Kidding aside, the sentiment behind the guns is very cool and it was EXTREMELY Sweet of Pam and Doyle to go through the hassle of flying with guns.
Aaron put Doyle right to work. 
We have a "crawl space" under the house that we can use as a storage shed once we put in a level floor.  Aaron is super excited to have a running start.  I am Super Excited, the most labor intensive portion is over and I wasn't even sore, Thanks Doyle!
Everybody loves a little YoPop!

We have been SOO Spoiled with family visits since we moved here.  We LOVE LOVE evey minute of it!

Oh I just love it. I didn't realize they flew with the guns that would have been a pain. You did good keeping it a secret! Miss you"

Man, I got all teary just imagining it!
How sweet. That is a present for everyone.

You have had so many visits and not even there a year.
I'm so happy for you all.
Wish I could be one of the visitors.

How nice for Aaron. All these people visiting has to make it seem like N. Carolina isn't so far away after all! What a great birthday surprise.

Well shucks who wouldn't like a surprise like that?!? And some sentimental gifts to boot. Bet it was a great visit. So thoughtful of them to go to the extra effort to get there...with guns. Good ole Idaho folks!
