We got to spend a Saturday with Wyatt and Eva while Danny and Betsy spent a Saturday shopping. We joined Valerie, Kamri and Kayden at Hogle Zoo. The weather was awesome and the kids had a really good time. Wyatt, Kayden andKamri watching the bear it was feeding time.

My kids

They're not kids anymore. It was a great day to have them about me.

Thank You all.

My birthday celebration Saturday, all were in attendance. We started with the youngest that could swing a bat and moved up in age from there. Zach ended the party breaking it open and candy going everywhere.

See Dee in the orange shirt pulling weeds around the court.

I have a dream!

Took a short ride around the block on Jared's bicycle. 800 cc of screaming hair raisin fun. Zach has one just a bit bigger...1400 cc.

Well they were after me for being so slow updating the blog so here we go real quick.

This picture is a few years old but it gives you an idea of our family and the closeness we have. Three of our grand kids are missing from this photo plus 2 more due in May.
