A little photo fun with our five generation pictures!

Our family got together on Sunday to take Five Generation pictures! It was a beautiful day and we enjoyed a lunch of Pizza and Greek salad out in the sun! We all had a great, but too short, time together. Due to planning a cross country trip to Kansas, I have not had a lot of time to dedicate to the blog. I will have lots to post when I return. Thank you for your patience!

Happy Birthday Dad!

From Kansas to Washington D.C. to Michigan...

We all wish you a very Happy 74th Birthday!!

Michelle says Jessa loves to crawl around the house with her shoes on her hands! Jessa looks quite proud of herself! Only 2 more weeks before we begin our trip to Kansas to visit them! I can't wait!!!

Here's one just for fun! Bryan finds it very disturbing!!! Sorry Bryan :(

This page was made with the help of Karen. She emailed me the pictures of Dad playing on the little bike and thought I could make a scrapbook page out of them. I knew Michelle just sent me some pictures of Jaden crashing on his bike and thought I could match them up. I was absolutely amazed at how they were both playing alike. Believe me Jaden was not even born when the pictures of Dad were taken. And Michelle was not trying to copy the pictures like I have been know to do!!! I think it is a very special page! Thank you Karen for sending me the pictures, and also to Michelle for taking pictures and sharing them.

Jaden makes a call to PaPa!

Nathan celebrated his 7th month of life by learning how to crawl. The fun is just beginning!

Here is something new I found tonight. If you click on the pictures at the bottom they will show in the center. Enjoy!

Spend a moment to remember. Cherish what you have.

Here are cute pictures of Jessa being a Superstar! The picture at the top is one that Karen made on her computer about 15 years ago. She gave it to me and I have always thought it was pretty neat!

Kristina's two little dolls! Dondee is Kristina's baby doll that I made for her just days before Michelle was to enter our family. That makes Dondee 27 years old now! Nathan was 2 1/2 months old when these pictures were taken!

Happy Labor Day! We spent the day on Lake Fenton with Bruce's daughters! It was a beautiful day. This is the last picture I made before my computer crashed again. This time I lost 2 months of pictures. So this is the only picture I have of our wonderful weekend. I may be posting old pictures until I get back in the groove!

I put finger paints on Nathan's hands and he really enjoyed smearing it on the paper! Actually it came out pretty good. I scanned it and used it for the background.

I am decorating the kids Red, White and Blue room and Collin and Nathan were having fun playing in the new plastic containers from Ikea!

Karen just sent me these pictures of Michelle and Jessa that she took at Mom's 70th Birthday party! Boy, it makes me miss my Jessa Lou and my Michelle Bell!

Collin and I check in on our Writing Spider daily! She is always in the same place, which is right next to the sidewalk. It is amazing that she stays there. Thanks to Debbie for quickly identifying the species! Now I know she is harmless and probably will stay until fall unless someone messes with her. I also learned I will not put my hand in Hostas without gloves on any more!!!

Collin and I are watching a writing spider that has moved into my hosta plant out front. It is about the size of a 50 cent piece! It is a very beautiful spider!

Heather and Dave are excited at the news that their baby is a girl!

Baby girl is due January 15, 2008!

Brandon bravely opens the door to Meadowlark Ridge Elementary School ... only to be met by a Fair Maiden. At this time, he waves "Bye" to Mom and starts his new life as a School Boy!
