ALWAYS SOMETHING GOING ON HERE...

Spring is here and there around these parts. The robins are here indicating that Spring is too, but the warm Spring days are teasing us because one day it will be so nice, and then we will have snow and strong winds. I sure wish she would make up her mind!

We have had lots going on in the family with gatherings for Easter and Mothers Day and a son in law's college graduation and a grand daughters baptism. It has all been so much fun and great to be together as a family.



Caleb being a sweet gentleman for his sister Ella on Easter.

We were together on Mothers Day and one fun thing we did was....

we dipped lots of big sweet strawberries in chocolate....

How do you define happiness? I say it's a chocolate covered strawberry in each hand.
And yes, we ate, and ate, and ate them all up! Nothing as good as that!


It's always fun to have the little grands and their mommies and grandma in the bathroom giving the little ones their bath. The room is full of laughter and talking and love...good family times.

Us with our daughter Lindsey and her husband Michael and baby Sophia.


Lots going on this weekend, for one thing the baptism of this beautiful little 8 year old.

Her name is Hannah...and we sure do love her! This was her big day and she was the director and producer of the whole event. It was a very special spiritual day too a great day to be 8.

It was a beautiful, warm Spring day and it was a day of spiritual warmth too.

Jen and her children, Hannah and Gavin. I am proud of Jen, she is a good mom and is working so hard to do what is right and make a good home for her and her children and she is succeeding .
Sophia reminded me of a cute little Dalmatian puppy in these cute PJ's.

Our daughter Lindsey and her husband Michael and Sophia at his college graduation. We are so proud of him and of them...good people doing all the right and good things in life. God bless them.

After graduation they bought hats and other things from the college bookstore.

Grandpa and Sophia...she loved pulling his hair up there too!

And yes...at 9 month, she is walking!

Oh, and she found all the toys and re-arranged then too!

Michael parading into the events center for graduation. It was so cool because they had bagpipes a blazing and it was all so exciting as we were there with them and his parents too.

Michael got a picture with the college president, Michael Benson.

We went out to dinner after the graduation with them and Michael's parents.

How much fun is a one dollar ball and a warm Spring

day and a beautiful park to run and play in!

~Sweet, darling and fun... Ella Mae~

And just as sweet and handsome and fun is her big brother Caleb..

Grandma and grandpa's darlings...we are so blessed because we have 20 of these darling little people in our family and one more due in August...plus a great grandson too! Yes, we know how very, very blessed we are and we love them and all and our 8 children...life is good, so good!

Well, hopefully Spring will make up her mind and stay with us now.

Have a great week everyone and remember....
