My Birthday Dinner!

Ryan and I had plans to go to dinner at Osaka for my birthday with Ethan and my parents....when we got there, we ran in to Ryan's cousin Charles and his wife Jen....then Ryan's parents walked in....and then our friends Jill and Mark and their kids....etc......Ryan had planned a suprise birthday dinner for me with all of our friends and family!! It was a PERFECT 30th birthday celebration. Thank you to everyone who spent that night with us, it was fabulous! Like always, I seem to have only got pictures of the little tikes!

While we waited to be seated Ethan, Lucas and Kailyn (watched by Maddy) pushed their cars around the fountain....thank you Osaka for having that fountain, it saved the night!


"Chopsticks....let me try!"

Kailyn!

"Papa these noodles are YUMMY!!"

Ethan, Lucas & Kailyn (oh, and my dad:-) raced back and forth on the sidwalk outside the restaurant...Ethan had numerous false starts!



What a crew!


Hugs for Kailyn (sweaty sweaty Ethan!!)

Mommy's 30th Birthday (and Ethan's First Trip to the Movie Theater!)

My 30th birthday was July 7th and Ryan had dinner reservations for the 8th, so what better way to spend my actual birthday then taking our little man to see his first movie in a theater? We took him to see Toy Story 3 and he LOVED it (and especially loved the popcorn)!

Should I Be Worried?

Ethan has become quite the little climber lately, and apparently Ryan was working in the backyard with Ethan and he turned around and Ethan was climbing up the ladder! I should say, in Ryan's defense, that he only had one foot on the first step when Ryan saw him....Ryan let him climb all the way up while standing below to catch him if he fell (at least that is the story that I got:-) Ethan is definitely all boy and LOVES being outside with his Dad! His favorite things to do outside now are pick up rocks (apparently a favorite of Ryan's when he was younger), sweep the driveway, pick up sticks and push around the wheelbarrow.

Father's Day 2010: The Dunaway Clan

Ethan and a few of his second cousins lined up oldest to youngest at Father's Day. Clearly Rylie, the oldest, knows what she is doing!!

"Who Belongs to Who?"
Rylie and Camryn, the two adorable little girls, belong to my cousin Ryan and his wife Hollie. Kanoa and Kai, the two little guys with curly hair, belong to my cousin Catherine and her husband Chris. William, who is sitting next to Ethan, belongs to my cousin Liz and her husband Jeff. And then, of course, there is Ethan...
