Grandpa Wilbur is 80!

These posts are out of order.  The weekend of the 15th Kyle's mom and Hap came to visit.  They arrived Friday morning while I was at Body and Soul.  Friday they soaked up at many "Grandbaby Sugars" as they could get from all three of them and Kyle and I just generally enjoyed having them around and having a bit of a break from kid duty =).  Binky made cupcakes with Luke and Leta and they enjoyed stirring the batter then frosting them once they were done.  But the best part was eating one for a snack.  After they went off to bed we all set out to make jalapeno poppers.  Kyle took out the ribs and seeds and Hap and I filled them with cream cheese and wrapped them in bacon while Vicki made deviled eggs.

Saturday Hap and Vicki got a MUCH needed chance to sleep in (and isn't that what you SHOULD get to do on vacation?) and then we got ready for a surprise 80th birthday party that Vicki planned for Grandpa Wilbur.  And was it ever a surprise!  Kyle had everyone park at then end of the circle drive in our neighborhood and he and Georgeanne conspired and told Grandpa Wilbur that they were coming to celebrate  Luke's birthday.  Everyone hid in the kitchen while Leta and I answered the door.  As soon as they were in the house, WT was asking about Kyle and they started talking football, with WT filling Kyle in on the OSU game he'd missed (because he was getting ready for a surprise party!). Kyle led Grandpa Wilbur to the doorway to the kitchen where everyone was now in FULL view.  But Gpa Wilbur continued talking to Kyle about the game without ever looking up FOR A LONG TIME.  It went on for so long that everyone in the kitchen was giggling and finally Georgeanne said, "WT would you look around!"  SURPRISE!

It was a great night with Kyle's mom and sister and her family coming from Hobbs, NM his brother and his family (minus Hannah---we missed you!) coming from Houston and Gpa Wilbur's brother and wife driving up from Ardmore, OK.
