Dad's 60th Birthday: SURPRISE!

Here are some random pictures from our weekend in Bellingham the 2nd weekend of September. It was Tommy's 10th Birthday and Dad's 60th we were celebrating. What dad didn't know is that our brother Jack and his girlfriend, Michelle, were flying in from back east. No one had ever met Michelle before besides our sister, Kelly. We were all excited. The best part is that dad was really surprised and had no idea that Jack was coming. Even though we all were sure that mom had blown it! :)
Love you mom!
Had to take this picture! They were dressed alike :)
Uncle Collin and Josh
Cassie reading to Ella, my niece (Collin & Jenn's daughter)
Josh, Tommy, my nephew Yale(Collin & Jenn's), Jenn & Ella on the couch. Tommy's Guitar Hero was attached to his hand the entire weekend!

Ella is at that age where she loves to wear everyone's shoes.
Here, she has Uncle Jack's size 13's on! Poor girl, she can't move at all :)

My dad, aka Papa J.D., reading to Ella

I don't know why we had Cassie's snow hat and scarf there in September, but we did. Don't the girls look cute? Notice that Ella has raided Auntie Steph's purse and found a granola bar and prescription drugs! I am "aunt of the year." That's great, goes with my "mother of the year" award! hee hee hee

Jack and Michelle! She fits right in our family :)

Collin and Jenn! The bartender and cook for the weekend and the host/hostess with the mostest! Their house is so nice and relaxing. Thanks guys for letting us crash there!

Sooooooooo, why we waited until midnight the night before Jack and Michelle had to get up and leave at like 4am, to take this picture, I will never know. But, here is the sibling picture for September '08! I am looking forward to December '08 when we are all back together and get another picture to replace this one :)

SISSY! (Kelly) & BROTHER! Jack

The three J's!
Dad(J.D.), Jack and Josh watching the lighting of the dad's birthday cake.

Jenn took these photographs of sailboats in Bellingham Bay and then had them printed on canvas at Costco! They are gorgeous! These were dad's birthday present from Jenn and Collin. We all were thoroughly impressed!

So, Jenn made this awesome cake for dad! Sooooo yummy. This is a picture of the growth that was on the side of it. Great inside joke with our family. A "had to be there" moment!
