Fun In The Water

The grandkids were over the other day and this is what happened.


Andrea and I were in frosting cupcakes and graham crackers and could hear Kaja giggling. We looked out the window and there she was, soaked from head to toe. She had gotten in the swimming pool - IN HER CLOTHES! It was the funniest thing to see. She was having a blast!

The only thing left to do was to let Jax go and let him join in the fun. He wouldn't get in, but he loved to splash, and Kaja, of course, was a great help to him.

Then Kylee had to join in, although she wasn't in the splashing mood. She wanted to jump on the Tramp instead. She's found a new love - grandma's trampoline.

I love the summer time and having the kids over. They always entertain us.

FATHER'S DAY

We had a great Father's Day. Tracy and Rob had us all over to their home. We had delicious food and good conversation with the Fam. We are so blessed to have such a wonderful family and I'm so happy we get together often.


Here are a few pictures of the fun.

What are you doing Bill?

Cute girls!

Jaxon provided the music!

These two are having way too much fun!!

Here's some of the younger set, No I don't mean Rob.

Enjoying a little down time. The weather couldn't have been better.

The steak and chicken were so good.

Happy Father's Day to all the father's out there who have given us so much and who we love.

Four Corners

This is kind of goofy of me, but this picture is mostly for Christine.

I'm not sure what my dad is doing here, but this is a picture of the four corners of the States. Christine had told me she like to go here, this is it.

Some Things Just Don't Change

Look at this!

Here is Kylee, Leslie's oldest wearing a pair of my glasses.

And, here is Leslie, my oldest, wearing her Daddy's glasses. (He still has these, and wears them!)

Grand Grandparents

Here's a little tribute to grandparents. I want my kids to remember what great grandparents they had. So here are a few pictures for them to reminisce.

This is my dad in Hawaii. He had a sister who lived there for a short while. He and Nana took a trip over to visit Mary Etta and Jack.

I hope they remember Grandma Melvina. She is David's dad's mom. Leslie and Andrea and I used to spend a lot of time with her. We only lived a block away when David was in Law School and we used to walk to her home and visit. She always had vanilla wafers for the girls.

And here is my Nana. I often wonder if my kids really remember her. But, here is Leslie with her at Christmas time. She was a wonderful lady. I learned a lot from her how to treat others and how to act like a lady.

My mom loved her grandkids. She couldn't get enough of them. And I know my kids have great stories to tell about Grandma Maureen.

Couldn't help throw in another picture with Nana.

Here's Grandpa Paul. He loved the outdoors. I don't have too many pictures of him, because he was always the photographer.

Another one of dad. My little ? 6 foot 4 brother Brad is standing next to him, a bit hard to see.

Grandma Maureen is holding Andrea. It's Leslie's 2 year birthday party. There's Grandma Janny in the blue and Grandma Melvina in red looking on.

These pictures are from my dad's camera so the Jeffs' aren't in too many pictures. What special people my kids have had in their lives, who love and support them. Don't forget!

I know, I know, I know! Two in one day is just plain crazy for me, but I couldn't pass this one up. It's another time comparison.

Here is a picture of Snow White's fountain, 2008. We should have put someone in front of this picture DAVID!

And here is Snow White's fountain in 1962, or theres about. There's Geoff, Brad, Frank of me!

Whoops, I just noticed one of the pictures should be flipped. Oh well, you get the "picture".

A little of the old and A little of the new

I'm still having a blast scanning our old slides. It is so much fun to see how things used to be. it brings back wonderful memories. Yes, yes, Tyler; they make me cry.

Here is a picture of me with my brothers, probably around 1958. It evevn sounds ancient to me. My older brother Frank is holding my youngest brother, Brad. Geoff, my younger brother and I are "sitting pretty" in the lawn chairs.

This is Kevin - 2, Andrea - 5, and Leslie - 6, probably around 1983. They are being awfully good.

Here's Kaja in the high chair her mommy used when she was young.

Here's a blast from the past! Andrea in the same high chair (and eating too) that Kaja is in the picture above. Their size is a bit different.
