On Friday Night March 24th I planned a surprise party for Shawn. I had sent invitations out 3 weeks earlier. I invited the core group of his biking friends in his early days in Utah. Unfortunately as the party got closer lots of them responded they couldn't' make it. I was getting nervous nobody would be there. I recruited my mom and brother and some of the Raddon kids to be there last minute :). I told Shawn the day before that Russ and Ali had planned a little birthday party for Madival at Fats Bowling Alley. He didn't seem fazed by it. So Friday finally came and we headed for Fat Cats at about 6. I had asked everyone to get there by 6. When we walked in the group kinda walked over to us and Shawn seemed surprised. There were more of his friends there than I had expected so I was happy. It actually turned out to be a nice size group. We ate pizza, breadsticks, salad, soda, bowled and talked. Near the end o the party we had cake and chatted some more and Shawn opened the book I had made him for his birthday. I had asked family and friends to submit pictures and memories to me and I put them all in a book. My goal was to have 40 submissions for 40 years old and I had more than that.
