Our son Chris, is getting married and we are so excited! We just love Jen and know they will be so happy together! They will be married on April 23rd so I will have my first daughter-in-law! YEAH!!! She has two adorable children that I need to get pictures of them to post. Hopefully soon! It has been so wonderful seeing how happy my son is, he has waited for just the perfect one! Congratulations, Chris and Jen. Less than two more weeks!

Our Grandchildren

One of our daughters, Julie, and her husband, Jon, and their four children live with us so I get the opportunity of getting to see them everyday! They are the sweetest kids. The youngest is Ryn, 9 months, loves to come see Grandma and pull off all the DVD, CDS and VHS on the floor as often as she can. She is such a happy baby, I love to cuddle her as often as I can.

Tatelin is three and loves to have Grandpa hold her on his lap and read to her. I just can not get enough of her little cute voice and that sweet smile!

Tag is four now and is the most loving and helpful little guy you would ever want around. He loves helping me when I need something or helping his sisters, but the thing he likes best is being there helping his Dad. He is a great inspiration to me! Love you little Tag.

Six year old Denver is the most creative little girl. Always wanting to make something. She loves to paint with me so I have my "little sidekick" that I call her. So talented! Denver also loves being a big sister by taking care of the baby! So cute with her.!

I just had to add this picture so cute!

This is our little Jayden, she lives in California. Her family recently moved there so we miss her so much. She had a birthday inMarch so her Mom sent pictures of her with the presents from us. Such a cute little girl. We miss hearing her sing!

This is Kelli and Kaleb. This picture is from their other Grandmother but I didn't have a recent picture of them so I am going to make a plan to get over there and get some more pictures of them. Kelli is our twelve year old Granddaughter that is becoming a beauty inside and out. She loves to read and she loves to write poetry. Amazing! Such talent.

Kaleb is getting smarter everyday because he is learning to read. His mother works with him getting ready to go to kindergarten next fall! He loves to play with cousin Tag. When he comes over I hardly see him because he is off playing with Tag. I love his sweet hugs he gives me when he sees me.

As you can see our grandchildren are really growing up and we love each one of them so very much! It is so much fun being a grandma. I am excited because our oldest son, Chris, is getting married in a couple of weeks and then I will have two more grandchildren to brag about! YEAH!!! Their names are Payton and Bo seven year old twins!
