Dekker's 3rd birthday - 2012

 Sunday, April 15th, Dave and Stef had their birthday party for Dekker who turned 3 on April 7th.  The party was at Zorinsky Lake.  It was a crazy windy day. 

Nice big shelter for friends and family.  Here are some family members.  Lao, Pao, Don, Rugger. 

Becky put Tucker right to sleep - sweet baby.

 Reise loves a party.

 Ryleigh and her Dad.

 Dekker returns from the playground to participate!

 Dave and friend.

 Lao and Tucker - he endured the hat for the picture.  He might be more of a baseball cap kind of guy.

 Dekker and friends gearing up for the gift opening.

Dekker says all the right things like WOW, oh my gosh, open it!!  Such a great little guy - so excited! Stef and Dave had sandwiches from Blimpies, chips, a really cute cupcake caterpillar and party favor bag (with caterpillar food) for the kids who came.  Lovely time was had by all!!

The Zoo - October 2011

 Last Fall the Sallingers, Guthries and Crounses all went to the zoo.  I got to go, too.  Becky likes to have everyone wear the same t-shirt - brilliant - so that we're all easy to spot.

 Andrew and Trenton don't seem so thrilled here!!

 Now THAT'S interesting!!

 Chase and Dominick chose to be chauffeured.

 I met the kids at the Roca Berry Farm the day before the zoo outing - there's a lot to do there and of course, I didn't get pictures!!  But, I brought Maeson and Rowen home with me.  They looked like this about 30 seconds after their bath!!  Really cute boys.

That's all for right now.
