Jared and Veronica Get Married

Our son Jared married Veronica on October 9, 2010 in Casa Grande, Arizona.

The cutest flower girl ever!

Jordan and Veronica share a moment before the wedding.

Summer's Almost Gone!

Summers where we live are short and this year we had an especially short one. Here are some things I managed to do this summer:

My husband and I took two of our grandkids to the nature park to feed the ducks. The ducks weren't at all shy. When they saw us coming with food they started waddling in our direction! By the time we crossed the parking lot to the lawn the ducks and geese were ready and waiting!

I played with my grandkids. One of Chaylee's favorite things is playing with playdough. Here she is making ropes. Allan refuses to call them snakes since he is not fond of snakes. He was bit by a diamondback rattlesnake. Lillee is waiting with a book. Being read to is one of her favorite things.

I made 30 Christmas stockings for soldiers in the armed forces. My friend Louise was working on the project with the women's club and I volunteered to help her out.

I made this dress for Chaylee for her third birthday. I had enough fabric leftover to make Lillee a matching one. (It's a Pink Fig pattern.)

A New Grandbaby

We have a new granddaughter, Cynthia Jean Willett, born May 27, 2010 at 7:07 p.m. to Destiny and C.J. She was 6 pounds 15 ounces and 20 inches long. Congratulations Destiny and C.J.

This makes 10 grandchildren for us, 9 girls and 1 boy.

HALLOWEEN FUN!

We had a fun Halloween. I know it was three months ago but, hey, I've been busy! This is a picture of the worms Allan and I ate for Halloween. I didn't know worms could be so yummy. (Our neighbor brought them over. They are actually jello that has been poured into straws and then jelled. They really looked gross!)

This is a picture of our granddaughter. Every year we visit them in October and we make 'haunted houses" out of graham crackers and candy. The next picture is our other granddaughter with her house.












The sweet baby and the scary almost two year old are two of our other granddaughters dressed up for Halloween.

Two Weddings

Not only did we have three grandbabies born this summer, we also had two weddings. Our son John and our daughter Destiny were both married in August. John and Kim are in the picture to the right.

I made the flower girl dresses for John and Destiny's wedding.

I recycled the flower centerpieces from John's wedding into bouquets, boutonnière's and corsages for Destiny's wedding.

All Three Granddaughters

Here are all of our June grandbabies. Robyn is on the left. She was born June 25th. Peyton is in the middle. She was born June 22nd. Lillee is on the right. She was born June 10th. We sure love our little girls!

Our Second New Granddaughter

I know! These granddaughter pictures are totally out of order. I had trouble downloading my pictures when I posted pictures of Robyn so I couldn't post any pictures of our second June granddaughter.
Meet Peyton! She was born June 22, 2009 to our daughter Kim Murray and her husband Rigg.


Peyton was nine pounds two ounces and twenty-three inches long. She was born with a ton of black hair (which you can't see in this picture because it's covered up with her hat). She is full of personality and looks just like Kim but she has Rigg's nose!

Here's the proud dad just minutes after Peyton was born.
