Our newest angel

On Friday, September 18th at 5:10pm, Trinity Rose was born weighing 8# 9oz. Our dear Laura labored/pushed long and hard but Trinity needed to be delivered by c-section. We are most blessed to have this new angel as part of our family. Our sincere congrats to Laura and Nick whom we know will be awesome parents!! As you can see, she is a most beautiful newborn(photo taken at 3 hrs old). How blessed Poppy and I felt to be able to see her so soon after her birth.

It's your birthday shout hooray!

Happy 4th Birthday Kennedy!

My little angel baby

My dear daughter,

Hard to imagine 35 years have gone by since your early arrival on August 18, 1974. You were such a small precious angel sent by God. Thankfully, you were a real survivor and for that I am most thankful. If I had lost you there would have been a huge void in my life forever. How blessed I am to have you as my daughter and friend:) You are a beautiful person inside and out and as your Mom that makes me most proud!!!

First Day of School for us All!!

Steven starting 3rd grade and Dylan kindergarten-

My first day teaching in my own classroom!!

The brothers giving each other high fives before school-
and I heard they did it after school too!!
SUCH BROTHERS!

Monster Jam

The boys had given Bryce tickets to Monster Jam for Father's Day.

We had a really good time cheering for our favorite trucks: Grave Digger,

Maximum Destruction, Captain's Curse, etc.

I think we were the best looking family there. :)

?I do not know why this is underlining?

The Family!!!
Go Captain Curse!!


Dylan with Tom Meents(Maximum Destruction)

Steven with Dennis Anderson(Grave Digger). Steven says, "Thanks Mom
for standing in line for 2 hrs. so I could meet him."

Trinity Rose's shower

On Sunday, June 12th, we celebrated the upcoming miracle of Trinity
Rose with a baby shower. Laura chose to have it at their home and her Mom and friend, Melissa, hosted it. Our granddaughter is not lacking for anything for the first years of her life:) Nick has decorated Trinity's room beautifully with new paint and a center border per Laura's decorating ideas!! We are most ready to have a new baby become part of the family...love her already.
