Jess can't stand not knowing what his present is so every year he manages to get it out of one of the kids what I have gotten him! He is so sneaky about it too! He tricks them in to telling him by asking random, seemingly innocent questions! Well this year I prepared the kids for the types of questions he may ask, and we managed to keep it a secret! But he almost got it out of Hunter. He went in to work late today and enjoyed a morning at home with us. He offered to take Hunter and his friend to school for me (I should have know he had ulterior motives!) Well apparently he was asking Hunter those "innocent" questions of his (ie. can I wear it, is it bigger than a notebook, do you have one. etc.) Well Hunter held strong! Then when I went to meet him for lunch he said (so innocently) "Hunter told me what you got me for my birthday, I know it's clothes". (this is his way of getting me to give something away!) Well I knew that Hunter hadn't because if Jess would have really know that I had gotten him a new IPOD he wouldn't have been able to hide his excitement! So I just ignored him. Well when I got home I decided to teach him a lesson! I got the kids in on it and we pulled a sweatshirt out of Jesse's closet and wrapped it up, then we hid his real present! Jesse is like most men in America and doesn't want clothes for his birthday! When he stuck his hand in the bag and felt clothes he just looked at me and said "clothes, really?!?!" We had him going until he pulled one of his old sweatshirts out of the bag! We had a good laugh and gave him his real present! He was SOOOO excited! He has really been needing a new IPod. I also need to mention that Jess is the hardest person to shop for on the planet! I think I have managed to give him a total of two things over the years that he hasn't returned! (And the IPod counts as one of those two!)
Can you see the look of disgust in this picture as he opens his "present"!
And the joy in this picture when he realizes not only did we not give him clothes but he got the IPod he has been wanting for so long!
Jesse's dad came over and we had dinner, and pie. I didn't manage to take anymore pictures of the night.
Happy Birthday Babe! I hope you learned your lesson! :)

Happy Birthday Jess!
I have the same problem at my house. I never know what to get Kory. His Birthday is on Halloween. This year I actually have a few options that he mentioned. I think he thinks the same thing about me, but he always manages to do fine. Besides, I am always saying things like, "I wish I had a camera that worked". So how hard could it be! LOL!
Happy Birthday Jesse! Husbands are so hard to shop for, but I don't blame him. I would much rather get an IPod than a sweatshirt!
man that is OLD!!
get him a cane and some depends next year!
Happy Birthday Jesse! I am glad you got the gift you were hoping for. I think Spencer's ipod is one of his most precious treasures. I even had his engraved but of course that one broke and he got a new one without any of the sentiment. Oh well. Hope you had a great day Jesse.
