Well it has been a while since I have done my blog but we have been a little busy. Since December 1st we have gone on a trip to Disney world with our family, I had hip surgery, Christmas, and moved to New Mexico for a month and a half for Johns work.
I do not think there are very many that look at this blog but it is a good way to keep track of your life. My niece said she does it to keep a journal. I think that is a good idea. Well here are some of our Christmas pictures. Not many were taken this year I think because I did not get up and around much. But thanks to our grandson Quinton and Grandpa we did get a few and I am really happy with the pictures we did get. Santa came on Christmas eve, the kids really loved that!!!! Christmas morning we had our every year pajama Christmas morning breakfast. We have Swedish pancakes and all the rest. For members of our family that could not be there they were all calling to get the Swedish pancake recipe. It is just the best thing on Christmas morning. Our family is so blessed and Grandpa and I really love having our family come to our home. We are the luckiest Grandparents in the world. Chy and Justin and the boys did not make it home for Christmas and were pretty home sick, we were home sick for them too. We love them and really missed them. We had just been together for Disney world and spent a week and a half together, but we still missed them.

2008, December 5th trip to Disney World. We just want all of our wonderful children and extra wonderful grandchildren to know how much we love them. We had a great time in Disney World. It is very rare that you could take a family and have them all get along and enjoy a vacation of a life time. Thank you for coming with us!


This picture was taken a 4:00 am in the morning while waiting for moms and dads to check out and waiting for the bus. I think we finally wore the boys out! Dad and I just want you all to know how much we love you all and how much we appreciate you going with us on this wonderful trip.

One thing about Quintons hat was that we always knew where he was, and we always knew where to go because we knew who to follow!

Waiting to board the plane. Mandy and Chris had us all organized for our trip to Disney world. 19 of us went and 9 were children and they were all wonderful. Jo and Q and Chris got us checked in watched the children while parents took care of boarding passes. A huge thanks goes out to them for all their patient help and planning.

The custome did not last long on Paige but she did find Aunt Nicky's witche's boots. She had a ball.


Grandma and Grandpa's annual Halloween party. As you can see the kids had a great time and Chris and Mandy and Q were great with Chris and Mandy dressed up as John and Lorie Lunblade. Paige the Sam were the only ones that slowed down long enough to get a picture.
