Dondi was born on Oct 3 1960 to Mary Josephine (Bray) & Gary Loyd Buntin.  He was named, Gary Loyd, Jr. after his father. After his parent divorced, Maryjo renamed him, Dondi Jon LaVallee.   Isn’t he adorable?

Len and Sue treated us all to  “Flying Pie” pizza the night before Charlie & Mandy’s wedding.  I’d never been there before so this was a real treat.  The crust was thin, but the toppings were heavy.  It was a really good pizza and I usually am all about the crust. My favorite was the Pesto Vegetarian pizza. Dondi’s was the Miss Piggy.

Isn’t this a great picture of my Dad?  This was taken in Rainier at their home on Meserve Road about a year ago.

Dondi’s aunt Marjorie (Bray) & uncle Jerry Cox are celebrating their 60 wedding anniversary today. That is amazing!  We wish them many more years to come.

Sue and Len Phillips, welcome to the family.  They flew in from Massachusetts for Charlie and Amanda’s wedding.  We had a great time hanging out and I think we all felt like we’d known each other for longer than a few days.

Charlie Miller & Amanda LaVallee tied the knot on New Years Eve, December 31, 2011 in Troutdale, Oregon!  It was a magical evening and a winter wonderland.  Also pictured is Heather Kowaleski, who is officiating the marriage and truly one of Amanda’s best friends.
