TURKEY DAY 2010 . . .

Hopefully everyone had a good time being together -it was a lot of fun and definately crazy - I think I can say I am almost finished cleaning up -

Washing towels, bedding, putting away things I forgot I had and

definately mopping floors -


We enjoyed celebrating CHRISTMAS and the kids all got their

MATCHING JAMMIES - Monkeys again
with little monkeys on their feet of their pajamas
all for a photo for UNCLE Kyle - he picked their jammies out last year and AUNT STACIE found them for me this year!

They are really cute and I will work to find the photo's that have them posing for the yearly PHOTO opportunity -
I am sure my grandkids are the cutest -
because their mom's and dad's were
. . . ALSO THE CUTEST!

We exchanged gifts on THURSDAY morning all together
since we might not all be at the house in December, 2010
but most of us will be there to talk to KYLE from Peru
and enjoy some quiet time hanging out doing nothing!



Jeff and Sheila and some of their family came to help us celebrate the THANKSGIVING HOLIDAY like the good ole days -
It was a time to honor Mom and Dad for
60 years of marriage on Nov, 3, 2010 and
now it is the best - Mom's 80th Birthday, Dec, 7, 2010 -
She is going really well for her age & her situation!
I admire her positive face most of the time!



TIS THE SEASON TO REMEMBER
our Savior's Life and Example
in all we do and say and
especially how we TREAT EACH OTHER!

GRATEFULLY we accept our moments!

Blessings to you and your family - and Cheers. . .

To our family & friends and
TO AN IMPROVED 2011!



Peace & LOVE always -

Third Quarter 2010 July August September

This has been a great summer for seeing family and spending time enjoying our little grandbabies - Seems like no matter what, they enjoy our visits and we enjoy watching them grow and learn. Everything we could do or see we did -

KYLE in Peru serving the Lord & loving it! Ever so proud of him...

STEPH, Brandon, christian, elyse & grant

HEIDI, Rich, spencer, sam & natalie

NIKKI, Jordan, warren, audrey & camille

TYLER, Katy, lucy & carter

STACIE and Zach living in Bakersfield was PERFECT

and helping Grandma and Grandpa was even better!

It made the summer fun for G&G and

we got a lot of time with them as well while

Boating, birthdays and BBQ's

Swimming and enjoying the weather with everyone everyday!


Chicago really was a windy city and very fun
to see all of the places that we could w/Peter
before he closed that door
in this chapter of his life for his consulting firm. . .
he asked us all to donate to his favorite charity for his 26th Birthday - thanks for inspiring us to do more service. . .

He made a trip to BUILD

another Habitat for Humanity this fall
and ended on a high note

of helping with an orphanage in AFRICA
similar to his favorite kids in Mexico
that was part of his San Diego experience!



LOOKING FORWARD TO HAVING EVERYONE HOME FOR THANKSGIVING 2010 and then some again for CHRISTMAS!
