It was so fun to have the girls together! We enjoyed getting to know Sarah all grown up!
Grandpa Alvin just happened to have his truck at the house so he could get some pictures of it with Collin!! He can't wait until Collin is old enough to go in the truck with him!!

And Uncle Shaun can't wait to take Collin on the dirt bike!!

Great Grandma Peggy and Collin

Whatever we did we found lots of photo ops with Collin! It was a little hard to catch him smiling--he would be smiling and laughing and as soon as the cameras came out he would stop!! We did manage to get some good pictures that captured his cuteness!!

I'm A Really Bad Blogger!!!

Wow I can't believe how long it has been since I updated! Sorry!! We had so much fun when Karen, Collin and Sarah where here that I didn't take time to blog and then I had an issue with my computer that wouldn't let me down load pictures and I certainly didn't want to blog without being able to post pictures so.......but I finally have my computer fixed and have a little time so I'm back!!

We certainly did have a great time having the girls and Collin here! We were very busy...concerts, hikes, picnics, trips to the Tower and to the farm, shopping and then some great times just hanging around the house letting Collin entertain us!! He certainly was the center of attention whatever we did!! He is such a good baby and Karen is an amazing Mommy. Alvin and I got such joy out of just watching the two of them interact and how wound up she could get him....we loved listening to his giggles!

LESS THAN 24 HOURS!!

That's right in less than 24 hours Mr. Collin and his Mommy and his faithful friends Mater and Sadie AND his Auntie Sarah will be here!! We can't wait!!

Uncle Shaun flew out to Wisconsin this past weekend and got to meet Collin! I think Shaun was pretty taken by our little guy--and why not?!?! Here is a picture of two pretty handsome guys!!

Watch for more pictures!!!

TIME FLIES!!!

Just reflecting today how time flies!! Thirty two years ago today Alvin and I were married!! It was a whole lot hotter that day than it is today--we are at a pleasant 63! I can't believe it was that long ago and all the adventures we have had since then!! And now we are GRANDPARENTS!!!! A year ago today Jason and Karen called to wish us Happy Anniversary and to tell us that Collin was on his way!! Now we are counting the days until Karen and Collin are here to visit (14) and then we are counting down until Jason is home!

Isn't he just the cutest!!

WAY TO GO JASON!!

Jason was officially promoted this week to Sargent First Class!! We are so proud of him!! I am still having a hard time getting used to the beard! Thank you for your continued prayer for Jason and his team. We are so grateful for all of the support our family and friends have given over the years to our family.

SPECIAL DELIVERY!!

We have all had those moments in our parenting where we wish we could just ship the kids somewhere!! Well Karen had one of those moments one day! Collin was being a stinker so she stuck him in this box and told she was sending him to his Daddy! I don't think he was very worried do you?? Too Cute!! We are so proud of Karen, she has done such a great job being a single mom during Jason's deployment! We are so happy that she is spending some time with her folks--getting a little bit of a break and Collin is getting to spend some time with Grandma Carol, Grandpa Corey, and Auntie Sarah! We are counting the days until they come to visit us!! It will be so fun to have them here!!
