Duniway Football

CJ is playing 7th grade football for his middle-school team, the Duniway Dragons.  He has really enjoyed playing this year...and well he has really enjoyed all of 7th grade.  He is busy with homework everynight and hanging out with friends.  We are proud of what he is doing this year.  Way to go CJ!

Halloween Bash...Toddler Style

The Parkers threw a most fabulous Halloween Bash for all of Gwyn's friends and family's toddlers.  What a great day and of course Melissa was planned and prepared. 

As soon as the kids got there she had it all ready to go...Eyeball Toss, Snacks, Pin the Nose on the Pumpkin and general walking around and showing off their costumes!  Fabulous job Parker family!

Zac and Gracie...Bat and Rupunzel

Fall Fun

Love this son of mine!  Pure joy!

So sweet and serious. 

So full of life and energy.

Firefighter's Pancake Breakfast

Every year our local fire department has a pancake breakfast fundraiser and every year that we go I take pictures of the kids and blog about it, so here are the boys enjoying firetruck rides after a great pancake breakfast.  I am not sure if CJ is going to handle another ride in the firetruck, but he went this year for his brother.  So sweet.  Thank you firefighters for all that you do for our community!

Anna is 33!

Anna's birthday dinner and dessert really has had not changed for several years.  She loves Corn Surprise (elbow macaroni, hamburger, corn and stewed tomatoes) with Cherry-Chip Cake for dessert.  The kids all love hanging out together and celebrating Anna's day!  Happy Birthday Anna!

A Celebration of Life

Here we are together to give our love to Katherine as we celebrate her late husband's life.  The day was beautiful.  The setting was perfect.  The music was outstanding.  The outpouring of support for this wonderful family was pure love.  Love you Katherine! 



Race for the Cure

We walked for the cure!  Heather hosted Kari, Bethany and I up at the condo in Portland.  We had a wonderful time eating, talking and walking.  In fact, it was up for discussion...did we walk more or talk more over the 24-hour period.  Bethany provided the fun pink accessories and the weather was perfect...blue skies and a hint of fall in the air.  Wonderful and for a cause that is near and dear to all of us.

My first race of 2012; walked with some great friends.

Kari, Paige and Heather.  Lots of pink, lots of smiles and lots of good times!
