PAR-TAY!!!!!!

We had the big day!!!
Months of planning on my part-had to finish painting, texturing, cleaning, painting, shoving 5 tons of school papers that have yet to be sorted through in a cabinet, and more painting...all leading up to this SURPRISE PARTY!!... We started by showing a slide show.
(The amazing Lucas Ross put this slide show together and he totally rocks.)
I spent many evenings "not feeling well" laying on my bed sorting through the photos and getting this sucker ready.
I've looked at those pictures a hundred times but when I watch it play, I still tear up every time. There is your warning...

This wasn't the final draft, but pretty close to it!

I got all the Tur cousins together. Can you imagine all these kids spending the night with you!?!? Mainly the one on the front row second from left! hehe. He doesn't fall asleep until midnight and Morgan and Levi fell asleep at 2am! We had a blast though!!
Here was the set up (minus some cookies that some friends brought!) I was going to make little sandwiches (pbj, chick salad, turkey)...but the day before the event, I realized that was insane and probably only the famous P-dub would do such a crazy thing. Subway it was!
Thank you to all who came.
(Those who had to pick up kids from church camp...We still love you too!)
Wes appreciated it and felt so loved. We are blessed to have so many great people in our life.

The kids kept entertained with bikes, jump ropes, basketball, and the playground...Could I get sued if he fell and killed himself? After I snapped the pic, I responsibly told him to get down!!
Our family from both sides.
We love you all and are so glad this journey is over!
Praying to see other friends celebrate the end of chemo as well.
There is always an end! Praise God!

You DID do a great job, and it was a wonderful party!! Thank you for going to all the trouble to mark a special day; I will never forget it. **And if Crispin fell, I'd make sure he was ok and then spank him. I can't believe he was up there!!!

Way to go Kayla! Looks like the party was a hit & I loved the slideshow. What a great memory to have as a reminder when he completed this journey. Praise God for healing Wes! He's lucky to have you!

You are both TROOPERS! You have both endured so much. You deserve many, many more celebrations. Love you both!
