18 1/2 in. long

Great-grandchildren number 78 and 79!!!

Grandpa and Grandma are reaping the rewards for so many years of patient parenting and grand-parenting.  They get to just sit back and watch their family grow by leaps and bounds!!!   Here they are with Shyanne and Daniel Moser's twin girls.  Grandma is holding Brooklie, (number 78) and Grandpa is holding Brielle (number 79).  Do you think they could name every one of their posterity by name, and who they belong to?  Well, I wouldn't put it past Grandma.........she is GOOD!!

Awww....such a wonderful Grandma she is!!  By the way, their 80th grandchild is due the first week in November!!  Shelly will be adding a boy to this great and wonderful family!!

Introducing Zaden Junior Claybrook!

Zaden Junior Claybrook

Zaden Junior Claybrook was born on Sunday November 20, 2011. Pretty cool birthday huh? 11-20-2011. He was born at 1:19pm. Weighing 6lbs 6ozs, 18.5 inches long. He was really anxious to get here, Aubrey's water broke at 6:30am. We went to the hospital at about 10:00am and she progressed really fast. She only pushed for about 1hr and 15 mins. She was amazing and did it all natural with out pain killers! She was a trooper. Mommy and baby are doing great and are glad to be home.

Happy Halloween!!!
