Dooder's 60th Birthday Bash!!!

     This week (June 19th to be exact) ONE OF THE MOST INFLUENTIAL MEN IN MY LIFE turned the ripe old age of 60!!! And we were all so happy and excited to be able to celebrate that milestone with Dooders last Saturday at Walnut Creek Park! The weather was PERFECT for a day at the park that we all spent swimming, fishing, bike riding, walking, eating and running into snakes (oh yeah, that was REALLY fun!).  
      It is always fun to get everyone together, and since each of our smaller families are growing so quickly it gets harder and harder to get everyone in one place these days! But everything fell together 60 years ago and   Keith Jefferson Brown was born so we were all able to come out and celebrate the last LONG TIME with a great man that we all love so much!! Happy Birthday Dooders!! We hope it was your best one so far!!


Micah and Emma about to head out on their bike ride together!


As soon as we arrived Emily and Haley could hardly wait to get to the play ground!


Can't you just feel the excitement??


And Eliza was excited to show off some of her skills too!! (Luckily Mimmi was right there to catch her!!)


That's My Girl!!

Luke was having fun at the swing set!!

SNACKS are the best presents for Grandparents to get!!

WATCHING....


There goes Olivia!  Emily is always on the look out for her little cousins!!
 

Fun cards ALWAYS make parties better!!

Of course, if cards don't do it, then there is ALWAYS fishing!! 


Trying to catch a fish and NOT the snake that was ALSO in the water!


Thinking about all that she has done today!


Emily was ALMOST brave enough to take the fish off the hook....something that her mommy has NEVER been brave enough for:)

Here we are Together!!!

"HELLO!"

"We Love You!"
