Make a Smilebox scrapbook

Jesus, we thank you for......

Goofy husbands who keep us laughing !!!!!!!!

Great photographers who know a good model when they see one !!!!!

Parents who love one another after (almost) 39 years of marriage....

Loving couples who do a wonderful job at doing the dishes !!!! (nice hat, James !!)

Loving mothers' who are blessed to have their families together for Thanksgiving (Paul, Kameron, Aidan & Koryn were missed, our family was not complete without them).

Grandpas' who will stop and offer a helping hand, thank you, Creepie !!!
Uncles' who enjoy dirt biking just as much as we do (James looks excited to have made it up the hill !!)

Beautiful scenery on a nice day (Dylan, Cody & James stopping for a scenic look !!)

Brotherly love (Dylan & Cody were in charge of cutting back the rose bushes, but took it upon themselves to also remove a tree, like father.....like sons !!!)

And last but certainly not all...we are thankful for good health and safe riding (Uncle James decided to ride Dennis' dirt bike for the day....and God was good: everyone returned without injury !!)

Our final camping trip of 2009 !!!!

We love camping/riding in Idaho City, it is so pretty and the riding is awesome !! Unfortunately, this was our last camping trip for the year....we sure enjoyed it though.

Two of my handsome boys !!!

Another one of my handsome boys, on my quad., which he shouldn't be (considering his history on quads. !!) His Mom was quick to point out that he is missing a helmet also. Some boys will never grow up !!

Creepy gathering firewood, what an outdoors-man !! Dylan is just along for the free ride, it beats walking !!! Dylan offered to help gather wood because he LOVES making smores !!

Grandma Janet waiting patiently for the girls to play Rummikub.

Grandma Dot wondering why in- the- world she said , "yes" to coming camping with us !! She is a trooper though, she enjoyed the great outdoors (kind of, while sitting in the motorhome !!)

Grandma George allowing me to take her picture. Look at those smiling eyes !!!

Carter looking way too grown-up for my liking. Where has the time gone??

Speaking of time going too fast.....Cody celebrated turning 16 while we were camping !! That is too grown-up for my liking, for sure !!!

I love this picture....brotherly love at its truest form !! God is good !!!

Family is a blessing....

For Labor Day weekend, we were blessed to have Uncle Don and Aunt Donna come for a visit. We missed Aunt Carol and Uncle James, but thank them for sending their spouses !!

Dennis is playing Catch Phrase in this picture...he loves games !!! NOT !!
Saying "goodbye" is never easy, for any of us, especially Dad saying it to his "little girl" !!
Uncle Don's way of saying "goodbye" to Carter !! Half-hug/half-headlock !!!
Dylan ended up with a sprained foot, a little dirt biking accident over the weekend....poor guy!! He is not sure how he can survive sitting in the chair with the laptop on his lap for the next few weeks, I'm sure he'll manage!!??
Carter is ready to go riding, he looks so grown up !!
Dylan's response to his hurt foot !!
Carter trying to play Catch Phrase !!
Creepy being excited because his teammates knew what he was talking about !!
Creepy & Assoc. have such nice smiles !!
What were you trying to explain, Uncle Don????!!!!!

Summer in Idaho....

Enjoying the pool....Cody doing a cannonball !!!!
Dylan making waves !!!
Cody's "ride"...he is turning 16 in a few days but is blessed to have an off-road vehicle !!!
Dennis enjoying my new quad, against my wishes !!! Not bad for a man who limps !!! (not very wise either !!)
Two cool D's !!!
He is truly enjoying himself !!
I'm not sure what to think at this point...a blessing or a curse ???
Speaking of "cool" !!????
The cool "C" brothers....Cody is teaching Carter the joys of using a clutch for the first time.
Dylan is demonstating his thoughts towards Justin !!! Sorry, Dr. F...they made me type this !!
Carter is in a "cool" category all his own !!! Isn't he handsome????

Carter !!!!!

Carter found out that he needs glasses to help him read, he is not thrilled with the "look" but allowed us to take a picture of him (kind of !!) The glasses have been a real blessing for him though, they just interfere with his vanity !!
He prefers this "look" for himself !! He has moved up from a Honda 70 to a Yamaha 125....our baby is SO grown-up now. We have mixed emotions to say the least.
