Jason's Surprise Party

Here are some more pics from Jason's 3oth birthday party. This picture was taken right after we found out about baby Dunning!

Congrats to Jason and Courtney who will be expecting their first child April 15th! We are all so excited for you and have been waiting and waiting for this! What a rush it was to hear the exciting news at Jason's surprise birthday party. Melissa and I could not have been happier. I am still in shock! Love you both and we are truly ecstatic for you and your family. Only 6 months to go!!!!!

Big smiles Daddy and me time

Cade was playing with daddy by pulling on his hair, but then it started to hurt.

Apple Festival 2007

This week was the Apple Festival. A bunch of us decided to decorate a float and have our kids dress up as little American icons. Our theme for the float was "Spirit in even the tiniest of hearts" since the Apple Fest theme was "Spirit of America". The kids did great despite the fact that a few of them got sunburned! And best of all, our float won 1st place in the Individual & Church division!

Starting the tradition- Adyson & Cade following their moms & grandmas around the festival. Although they are starting much earlier than Meg and I did!

Are these kids cute or what? Jett, Cade, Ellee, & Ethan Waiting for the parade to begin

Brooke & her little indian

If you look closely at this picture, you will notice our Statue of Liberty (Miss Adyson) is asleep! She slept through almost the entire thing! It was so cute!

Maria took this picture while we were waiting for the parade to begin. Thanks for the great picture Maria!

Max- what a cute cowboy!

Avery, Will, & Adyson during the kiddie parade

Sweet Caroline
Cade and Caroline - he kept giving her kisses without us even telling him to. It was too cute! And the fact that her daddy was sitting close by didn't scare him at all :)

Labor Day Weekend

On Labor Day weekend, we took a boat ride with my mom and dad, brother and sister-in-law. It was a short trip, but of course I still got a million pictures of Cade in his boat gear. I promise you will only have to see a few (maybe a little more).

Cade and Mommy

The whole family! (that's rare) I think Cade needs a pair of sunglasses though.

"Hey-this is pretty fun!"

"You're gonna do what?" (Note: lifejacket not secured)

"Get me out of this thing" (lifejacket now secured)

A beautiful bride

My good friend Michelle got married on September 1st. It was a beautiful wedding with an Irish theme. Colors were sage and purple and Michelle's dress was a gorgeous champagne color. I don't think the day could have been better for them. Before I left the reception, I just had to get a picture of Cade and Michelle, but he would NOT look at the camera. He seemed to be distracted by other things-And believe me when I say, I'm pretty sure it was the sparkles on her dress! :) Anyhow, Michelle looked great and I wanted everyone to see her at least. As for the other picture, you just gotta love that smile.

The Birthday Trio

Courtney, Melissa, and I got together for our birthdays. Melissa and I share the same birthday (she is a year older) and Court's birthday is just a couple of weeks before ours. So Melissa cooked us dinner and had these wonderful cakes made from Larry's. Oh my gosh was it good! I ate on it for days and it was still fresh as could be! They turned out really cute too! Melissa was a great hostess in her new home. Thanks Mis and Court for a great evening!

Our cakes, and of course one for Cade too :)

We kept trying to get a picture of all of us and all Cade would do was look up at me like he is in this first one. It was too funny. We finally managed to get a decent shot. This one's for Courtney and Melissa. This was the best I got-it's not easy with a 10 month old!
