Christopher turns 18!

I can't believe my baby is now 18! Wow. It has been a roller coaster of emotions for me. Christopher is moving to Pullman on Saturday to spread his wings. This is the hard part of being a parent seeing your kids go off on their own. I wish I could always hold their hand, but I know they won't learn that way.

" Hey, Uncle Christopher. Are you going to share that cake with me."













Haley loves Auntie Nicole almost as much as she loves Daisy the dog.




Aliyah is swinging too.










Grandma gets some loves from Mishonne.

Aliyah's Baby Blessing

Little Aliyah was given a name and a blessing
in Oregon by her daddy Loren. She looked absolutely beautiful.











I was a proud Grandma holding my newest grandbaby Aliyah in my arms.


















Loren and Sandra are blessed to have
such beautiful babbies be given such a special
blessing. What a wonderful day.

My trip to the Oregon Cost

Sandra finally got me down to the Coast. It was wonderful to see the ocean again. I felt like a kid with no worries.

We spent a whole day at Harris Beach. It was fun to be carefree and enjoy Gods marvelous artwork.

Sandra and Heidi (Loren's sister) took me river rafting for the first time. It was hardwork but totally fun.

Haley and I took a walk on the beach.

My First Blog

Hello Family and Friends. I decided to join the 21st Century and start a Blog. We have had an eventful month. To begin with, our baby Christopher graduated from High School. Next, Loren and Sandra had their fifth baby and Chris and Nicole just got formally added to an adoption list and hope to get a baby in the next year. Mike decided to take up flipping houses and is currently working on his first flip. I am recovering from my second knee surgery after breaking my knee a year a go. We are blessed to have a great family and hope this blog will help you enjoy them with us.
