Trevor's Graduation

I am so slow at this posting. I look at my calendar for the next few weeks and can hardly believe that we are and have been so busy. Life is great though. We (Doug and I) had a really enjoyable trip to Texas near the end of May to be with Trevor, Brandi and the boys. Trevor graduated from nursing school with an RN degree, we were there for Declan's blessing, and able to help them get settled into there house that they are renting. Out of the apartment to give the boys more play time in the yard. We are so proud of him and the many wonderful accomplishments he has made.

 After church and Declan's blessing. It was really windy, but I think that it is windy there most of the time.

                      Grandpa and Grandma with three precious grandkids. Just love being with them.

Easter

Easter egg hunt was so much fun this year we had six of the nine grandchildren here. We hid 300 eggs all over the basin area in the back yard so the kids could all fill there buckets as soon as they could. We enjoyed a barbecued dinner after wards. The weather was great and everyone had a good time. So much fun!

New Grandson!

Declan Heber joined Trevor and Brandi last Sunday. So excited that he is here and that everything went well. Can hardly wait to see him in person and hug on him. New babies are such a blessing in our lives. So precious and beautiful.

Happy Birthday Kierra

It's hard to believe that Kierra is already 5 years old today. Where does the time go?

The Camery

I'm sure that we have paid for the Camery at least twice with all of the accidents and and fender benders that it has been in. Here is the latest with the before repairs and after. I'm sure glad that Troy at Dependable Auto body does a great job.

Hopefully we can keep it looking nice for awhile now. I think the next time it gets in an accident our insurance will just total it out because it's getting hard to find parts for it.

Playing catch up

I could really get used to not working. I took off last Friday and today (Monday) for Christmas break. I have finally had time to get a few things done like clean my bedroom, bathroom, get cards out, and post a few pictures of our beach and zoo trip last Oct. Christmas was really different this year. We only had a few kids home with us and Jeremy's family. We all got to talk to Caleb and he seems to be doing really good. We are so thankful for wonderful kids and grandchildren. Life is great!

Now for the zoo. It was too hard to just post a few so I did a lot.

 At the end of this week we were all tired of walking. We rode the bus and the sky trams a few times to rest our tired feet.
