Surprise!!!!

TJ and I had our first ever "surprise party" this past weekend. We had planned that the Walkers would come down to the lake on Saturday to hang out and let the boys play....about 30 minutes after they arrived, the Tates, the Carpris, the Hasenfuss', all of TJ's family, all of my family etc...started showing up. We were like "what in the world?"....and Susan tells us, "Surprise! this is a Going Away party for you guys!" It was so exciting to have everyone surprise us like that. We have such wonderful friends and family. Unfortunately we have pretty rotten rainy weather, but the rain quit long enough for us to get a group photo of all who came. Thanks again guys....you don't know how much you mean to us!

here's "the gang".....the Tates, the Carpri's, the Hasenfuss', us, and the Walkers....

This was the first time in a long time that everyone could make it with kids in tow! So we wrangled everyone up with kids for a quick photo (as you can tell Parker was less than thrilled about the picture)....We currently have 7 kids between us all and the Walkers are due in 4 weeks, so that will bring the total to 8! Be fruitful and MULTIPLY! Ha!
