The Brown Bunch

My cousin Dede turned The Big 4-0 on September 5 so we celebrated with a surprise party. She didn't feel like celebrating so we had to force it on her just a little bit. In the end, I think she enjoyed herself. In fact, it was a happy time that everybody needed. Here are a few pictures from the night. The Look-Outs Dede with Nanny Betty and Nanny Shewbert (The good looks run in our family!) Dede with Dikey and Lori (The good looks just keep coming!) The four granddaughters: Andrea and Lori (the babies) and Dede and Allyson (the big girls) :) No post on this blog is complete without a picture of Jake. Of course Jake did what Jake does best. Isn't he precious?

Football season is here! Jason and I are so excited to have Jake here to help us cheer on the Dawgs. As you can guess, Jake doesn't quite understand the excitement yet, but he is getting there. He really loves to watch the games and actually fusses if you turn him away from the TV or block his vision. I guess he's going to be just like his daddy. I caught this shot last week. The Bulldogs were fighting off Central Michigan and Jake couldn't make it through the 3rd quarter. He loves to watch, but it sure does wear him out!
