Texas..8/26 thru 8/31 2009










Great and wonderful visit to Texas to see Ty & Kara, Mikayla, Lucas and baby James!

This is the first time I have come and had Mikayla not be shy for a while..'Hi Nana!' and my favorite phrase of hers, "How come my daddy calls you mommy?"

Lucas turned 2 on Aug. 28th (the same day as his Uncle Colin). He is putting together 4 or 5 word sentences. His favorites are, "I Stuck", "Bye, See Ya", "I climbing"..which he does..a lot.


James is a perfect gerber baby. Beautiful brown eyes and a calm, charming, sweet demeanor.


Ty and I installed a new kitchen sink (the old one drove everyone except Kara crazy) and then we spent almost 8 hours putting a new play structure together. Finished in the dark...

There is nothing more satisfying then seeing my own children grow up to be wonderful people...

Chase Goes on a Trail Ride..Linear Trail

I am NOT going in the water..you can't MAKE me!

This trail thing isn't so bad...
