More Fun on the 4th

It's great to have cousins

Oh What do you do in the summer time?

Finally just maybe we can now say it's summer. Brody, Bailey and Briggs came over to make ice cream.

They are rolling a can back and forth to each other that has the ingridents for ice cream in a baggie and rock salt and ice. Makes just fun and ice cream too!

The 4th just wouldn't be the 4th without a Parade!!!!! The kids favorite part is all the candy that is tossed out!!!! Boy did they come home with bags full of candy.

Grandchild #9 has arrived!!!!!

Here is the happy family ready to greet there newest member Jonas Joshua.
As you can see Dad must have had a rough night.

Grandpa now feels comfortable holding his new born grandchildren. He's getting so much experience. He can hardly wait for Jonas to want to ride in the tractor with him.

Here's our new little Grandson. He was born May 30th at 11:24 pm. He weighed 8 lbs and was 20 inches long. So far he's been a good little boy!
After the girls we have high hopes for HIM!

A triumuph Easter egg Hunt

This isn't one of the Birthday Bunch but I need to update Jen's family. This is our adorable Brookelyn.

This sweet little faced boy is part of the birthday bunch but don't let that angelic face fool you.

You can see why he has Grandma & Grandpa wrapped around his finger.

This is how you do the limbo stick when you are 2!

They thought they could go pretty low.

Amoung our Birthday bunch is GRANDPA! Kenna and Josh and Jess are also members of the March Madness birthday club but they didn't pose for a picture. They are worse than the grandkids at least they gave it a try!

March MADNESS

At our house March Madness is not referring to the NCCA Basketball tournment but to the fact that we have 7 Birthday's to celebrate in the first 2 weeks of March. So of course we have to have a kids party and an adult party.

This is all the granddaughters. This was the best shot we could get. Pretty sad uh.

This is Shari who is one of the Birthday Bunch. You can see she got a nice burse on her chin for her Birthday!

Brayden was so excited about his book. I couldn't get him to look up. He is 2.

This was suppose to be a picture of Briggs who also has a birthday in March but some how Brayden got uploaded twice and I can't figure out how to change it.

In Feb we were able to take a trip to Califorina farm country to the Tulare Farm Show. We stopped in Las Vegas and went to Phantom of the Opera. It was awesome! We drove up to the Sequioa which was covered in snow. We saw the beautiful orchard and ate delicious oranges. Oh and of course there was the farm show. We went with my brother Brent and his wife Marilyn. Okay so Marilyn and I didn't last long at the farm show. We had more important things to do like SHOPPING!

Bailey had a birthday and she wanted everyone to know it!!!

Shari is twirling in a dress I wore when I was about 6.

Jamie is our dress up QUEEN. The first thing she does when she gets to Grandma's is to go right the dress up suitcase and as you can see she is quite creative

It's time to bust the pinata!

Swing Bailey
and the batter or "beater" is up

with a stance like that you won't make a dent

Brody needs a blind fold He got quite the swing

Three Wise men came following the Star. But only one stood still for the picture.

Angels we have heard on high!

Mary with Baby Jesus. The real baby cried too much.

Roman Solider announcing all would be taxed!

Grandma is so excited to have another granddaughter to play in all her dress-up clothes and her doll house. Grandma is just a little girl at heart with a little gray in her hair.

Dad with his FOUR children. Looks like he had a rough night.

Our precious Brooklyn arrived on Sunday, Nov. 9th at 5:55 a.m. She weighed 6lbs 15 ozs. and was 19 inches long. After a long night ending in a C section Mom and Baby are doing well.

These are two little princess that showed up at our house.

We had a fun Halloween with all 7 grandchildren out trick 0r treating! It was definetly a TREAT for Grandma.

When you are 20 months old this is REAL COOL!

This little horse wouldn't let Grandma take a picture of him

This is one BEAUTIFUL flower, don't you think?

Hey, Batter,Batter, SWING

Minnie Mouse chose to sleep through the Halloween festivities. What do you expect at only 6 weeks old

It's so FUN to go to the pumpkin patch with GRANDMA!!

Brody thought it would be fun to pull Grandma in the wagon. So I climbed on Board and so did everyone else. I forgot that you get in something you also have to get out. That was not an easy task since my feet couldn't touch the ground.

This was the scene at our home on the morning of Oct. 11 yes I said Oct. not Jan. We came home the night before from Utah on very slick roads and soon after we came through the roads were closed. Yes, those are llama in my front yard. They were wondering what was going on also!

The top picture is more what fall should look like.
