Here is Thanksgiving night. I got a few more pictures when some of the kids came over to visit some more. How grateful I am for my beautiful family.

I got a couple of pictures on Thanksgiving Day before my batteries died. I will make sure that I have new batteries for Christmas. At least I got a picture of at least 3 of my little darlings.

Our last hot dog cookout of the season. Any reason at all is great reason to get everyone together!

Meg, Jess and I all had the same picture on our blogs of the kids and I thought that maybe I should get something different up. I decided that I would put Bub on and let everyone know that he is doing really great! He is happy and healthy and that is no small feat if you knew what he ate. I cannot believe that he has been gone almost a year (January 9th). Time has flown by! I look so forward to getting the next missionary out.

The end of another Sunday afternoon dinner. Everyone in their jammies and looking sooo sweet. This is what life is all about. Adam, Luke, Beau, Abigail and Carly.

What being "Grandpa" is all about!

Because I am a little blog challenged, I can't put all the pictures I want on one blog and I wanted this picture on because it is the most important with mom, dad and Carly. What a great day this was! Thanks Meg and Ben.

What a wonderful occasion it is to have family all together at the blessing of another sweet baby. This is Carly's baby blessing. We all got together after for a great meal at the Senior Center in Plain City.

Here are the guys doing more guy things. This time they are putting a gate post in to start putting a fence up in the back yard.

Here are the guys doing "guy" things. They have a lot of fun hanging out when they find time Saturday afternoons.

Skunks, Pebbles, Cats, Count Draculas, Clowns Oh My...............Oh what fun Halloween was this year. It is tradition to cometo Grandpa and Grandma's house to treat or treat and have cheese soup and lots of candy. What a great night to be with family. Some little ones had more candy than others. Can you guess which ones and do you think their mom and dad ever got them to sleep?
