Happy Birthday, JESUS !!!

This picture says is all: The Lord is my Light
and my Salvation...Whom shall I fear ???
Jesus is SO worthy of us celebrating His birth !!!


We were all happy to have Grandma Dot,
Auntie Donna & Uncle James with us for
CHRISTmas...along with Grandma & Grandpa !!


Uncle James was a good sport...he played football
and basketball with the boys in the snow !!



Awful picture...but thank you Donna & James
for the early birthday present !!

4 Eyes !!??

Dennis thought it was great fun to
call Justin "4 Eyes" and "Mr. Genius"
all these years....the tables are now
turned !!!!



Personally....I think he's kind of cute !!!

Dylan's new "love" !!

Dylan has been blessed...he has been praying
for some contact with a horse, he has wanted
to get his hands on a horse for some time now.
The Lord opened the door....Dylan now takes
riding lessons once a week for 22 weeks
through our homeschool group !!!


Dylan rides "Abby" every week...he loves her
and the whole riding experience !! It has been
a blessing to watch his whole face light up when
he's on Abby !!!

Our Cruise !!!

Our home away from home for a week !!
The Carnival Elation !!!


We had a great time, Auntie !!


Creepy (Grandpa) with his Mom, Great-
Grandma, Donna. They were "roommates"
for the week !!!



Donna showing her golf stance !!! I won't tell
you how many times she attempted this one
hole !!! (but she looked good !!)


Our big adventure in Ensenada, with the ship
in the background.


The waiters sang "Happy Birthday" to Cody
the first night we were on board...doesn't he
look impressed???



The Grandma's during the safety drill !!! Are
we having fun yet, girls???



James was excited about his (miniature) golf game !!!


We enjoyed our time together as a family with
the added blessing of grandparents, Aunt Donna
and Uncle James. But...we missed the Morton's
(Uncle Paul, Aunt Kameron & Aidan) not being
with us.


Dennis imitating our "towel monkey"....isn't he
something (the towel monkey, that is !!??) !!!



Male bonding time....walking around a cruise ship
with bath-robes on, looking for a hot tub together !!!

Carter is telling Uncle Don how to ride "Herbie"
the correct way !!

Dennis with a face only a mother could love....

just kidding !! I think he's cute and I'm not

his mother !!!

Carol with her faithful followers !! Don and Carol

drove up to spend Labor Day camping with us,

we had a nice weekend.

The Grandma's enjoying the afternoon...

notice: neither of them will look at the camera !!!

The guy's also enjoying the afternoon,

notice: no women in that circle !!! I think they

prefer it that way !!!

Dennis after laboring to celebrate Labor Day !!!!

For the Aunts !!!

Auntie Donna and Aunt Kameron were both
requesting family pictures....these are for you(both) !!


Carter enjoying "Herbie".....

Dylan was "catching some air" as he said...

this weekend...he is getting quite good at riding.

Cody also is getting quite comfy on his ride, he

is ready to advance up to the "big boys" bike....

his Dad's old one !!!

Dennis trying to tackle a large, steep hill...he

never did make it. This coming weekend, his brother,

Uncle Don, will have to show him how its done !!!!

Grandma trying to keep Grandpa "in line"..

good luck, Grandma !!!

Our three boys....what blessings they are !!!

This is strictly for the Aunts !!! We look forward

to seeing everybody in a few weeks !!!

Justin...you WERE missed !!!

Dennis "teaching" Cody how to pour
concrete !! Cody is convinced that he is
not being taught, but used for the
manual labor !! A good incentive to
get an education !!!


Justin had the honor of "being taught" how to
pour concrete when he was here...the lucky boy.
He helped in keeping the peace between these
two, Dennis and Cody !! You are missed, Justin !!




Don't let the smile fool you...he is a slave-driver
at heart....right Cody and Justin ???!!!!
