CALENDARS

I love doing the Family Calendars, but 6 of them!!! What am I thinking. I hear I can go online and do them. When I mentioned that to the kids, they said "Your's are so much better because they are 3 dimensional." I am flattered. I know the kids love them, and so do I. Well, we will see what next year brings. So, here for your viewing pleasure is our calendar. I'm sorry the pictures are pretty blurry, but you will get an idea of what I do.

I started January off with me and David and OF COURSE the grandkids.

Then there is February and Valentine's day with all the couples.

March brings kite flying and grandkids.

April is Easter with egg hunts and grandkids. It also brings an additional grand child.


May is Mother's Day, and here are my, very terrific, kids.

June brings fun with all the family.

July is the 4th, and fun in the water with grandkids. And July will bring us another grand baby.
August is our anniversary -34 of the best years of my life.

September is more family fun outings.

October is one of my favorite months with Halloween and cookie decorating and costumes and grandkids.

November is David's birthday and fun with the grandkids.

YES, the grandkids. What would Christmas be like with their sweet little wishes and dreams that come true.
I hope you all have a wonderful 2009.

It's all about the children

It has really been a while since I have done any blogging. A lot has come and gone. To be honest, I didn't take too many pictures; shame on me. I let Kevin and Nicole take my camera to Richfield because they had left their camera at home. And they only took about 10 pictures. Well, that's my poor excuse. But, I have no excuse for not blogging because I have just plain been lazy. Well, not really lazy just doing other things that kept me busy. I make calendars for the family every year (6 of them) with pictures and stickers and fun stuff. I can't ever seem to get them done in time for the 1st of January. I may take some pictures of my calendar and blog it later. It's a ton of fun, but a lot of work.
On with my pictures; It's all about the children. It most certainly is. Here are some fun pictures of my darling grand babies and some of my own darling children. My kids and David and the grand babies are the grandest part of my life.

Jayce is a bit shy of the camera. The girls were wearing "crowns". They can turn anything into a princess gala.

Here's Kaja with her sweet face. She really does pose for the camera!

Oh, and little Emily likes to eat. I don't know whether to blame this on her or her mom!

Well, Leslie got in the fun of wearing garland. But, taking her own picture, she missed the whole crown thing!

Kylee started this whole "T - wa - wa" thing. She lives for the princesses!


Here's Kylee and Jaycelyn dancing and twirling in their new dresses.

Jaxon wears the goggles when they go sledding. It's really funny, because he doesn't mind wearing them - anywhere!

Much to his parent's chagrin, Jaxon pulls the chairs over to the counter to get to the "real" good stuff!

We had a great time at grandma's and grandpa's. It's so neat to be with everyone. I know that's only 4 people, but they're the best! Whoops! It's just plain hard to get everyone in the camera lense.

No really, here are the best of all the best! From the left - Emily, will be 1 on Saturday the 24th of Jan; then Kylee who is 4, Kaja is 4, Jaycelyn is 2 and Jaxon will be 2 in May. And to add to the "bestness", we are expecting 2 more grand babies this year.


We have been very blessed and are grateful to our Heavenly Father for all good things that come to us.
