How Cute!

Caden had on the "Red Sox" outfit Grandpa Mike gave him before he was even born. I can't believe it is almost too small already!

Happy Birthday!

Mike celebrated his 55th Birthday on the 28th and my 50th Birthday is on the 31st of December. I made a silly cake and we celebrated together with our families.

Christmas Decorations

As I was taking down the Christmas decorations, I realized I had not taken any pictures of all my hard work. Although Christmas has come and gone, I am posting pictures of our festive "abode".

Merry Christmas!

santa was really good to us this year!

Family is the Best Gift of All

Having your family around is the best Christmas Gift of all. We are so lucky to have our children with us at the holidays.

Holiday Fun!

Mike's family came over on Dec. 23rd to celebrate Christmas. We had a great time opening presents. Mike's grandkids are so appreciative of their gifts.

Father against Son

Mike and Bart finally got a chance to play against each other in Air Hockey. Mike won the first game, but Bart came back and won the last 2. It's very apparent where mike's kids get their competitiveness from!

Noah's 1st Christmas

It's hard to believe Bart, Josephine and Noah will be going back to Sweden next week. Time has flown by so fast. We had Christmas for them yesterday and had so much fun, as usual. We will miss them!

Black Belt

Joshua received his Black Belt in Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu on his first attempt. He started taking classes as a Freshman at the University of Arizona. Once Joshua puts his mind to something, there is no stopping him!

I Love My Puppies

My dogs are so important to me. They love me unconditionally! They make me laugh too.

YUCK......

My scar is really yucky. SarahBeth said I look like I was shot in the throat! She always makes me feel so much better!

My Sisters

Both my sisters flew in from Atlanta to be with me during my recent surgery. I enjoyed having them here even under the circumstances. They were a great help! I miss them so much!

HAPPY FALL Y'ALL

Here are a few pictures I took of SarahBeth yesterday for no particular reason.

Practice Makes Perfect!!

Sarahbeth wants to learn how to do a cartwheel. Ashlyn and Amy gave her a few pointers. Check out the video....I think she could use more practice!

Bart, JoJo & Noah

Bart, JoJo and Noah came for a nice long visit. While they have been here, many events have been taking place. We had a "Welcome Back" Barbecue, Mike's brother Rick and his family as well as Mike's father came for the weekend, and of course all the Halloween festivities. We have enjoyed getting to know Noah. He is such a sweet, happy baby! These are some of the many pictures taken since their arrival!

Who is that Masked Puppy?

Even my dog Max got into the excitement of Halloween. He couldn't decide if he wanted to be a bee or a cat!

Trick or Treat

Halloween has always been one of my favorite holidays. I love to decorate and make "Goodies" for everyone to enjoy. This year we had a party for all the kids and grandkids. There were some great costumes, fun games, and good food. The kids and grandkids went out trick-or-treating. I think everyone had a good time...I did!
