We are so grateful to have the Nikalas home, it is always a relief on a Mothers heart to have them home safe. Nikalas has served a very honerable mission, he loved the people and loves the gospel. What a wonderful spirit he brought into our home, he is so full of the gospel and we love having that feeling in our home. He gave a very inspirational welcome home talk, I was so impressed with all he had learned.

We are so happy to have the new little spirit in our family, "Fletcher" what a doll. And from what mom reports he is a really good baby. And we also hear that the rest of the family just adores him. We feel very blessed to have our wonderful Grandchildren, each one is very special to us.


Daniel was elected to be the homecoming king, we did not know until he walked on the field that night. He is such a good boy and we are so proud of him.

We recently returned from Erie PA, where we had a fantastic time. The best part of the trip was getting to know the Grand kids again. We miss seeing them more often, and it is fun to get caught up. Another highlight of the trip was attending Mason's baptism, what a wonderful experience for us. Grandpa was able to give a baptism talk and lay his hands on Mason and give him the Holy Ghost. And Grandma was "tickled to death" to sing a duet with Mason at the baptism. There is know greater blessing than to participate with our Grandchildren in these sacred ordinances.
We enjoyed going to the Niagara Falls with the family, and riding on the Maid of the Mist into the falls. It was fun each day to be with the Stowell family, we appreciate their hospitality and most of all sharing the three little boys with us. We love you all very very much!!!!

What a wonderful day, our first grandchild baptized and confirmed a member of the church. Jarrett has always had a gentle, kind spirit and a willingness to follow Heavenly Fathers plan. We could just tell how special this day was to him by the light in his eyes. How blessed we are to be Grandparents to Jarrett, we love him so much.

Junior prom

Turn around, turn around turn around and your last child is going to the junior prom. We are feeling very very old, but very very proud. Daniel had a wonderful time at the junior prom, dutch oven dinners and movies and food and dancing. What a great time of his life!!!!

Daniel just ran for Students body office, he came really close to winning.
He is also lifting every day and getting ready for football. We cannot believe he will be a Senior next year. We might have to adopt more children, the house will be to quiet.

New baby Madyson was born, she is almost 7 pounds and 18 inches long. What a good baby, she sleeps and eats, just gets mad when you bath her. She looks exactly like her Mother, but I think Maddie has more hair. Cong, to Kyle and AnnMarie and Taisn.

Nikalas was just assigned the job of Assistant to the President, he is a busy missionary and lov'in the work.

At Grandpa's birthday party we had an unexpected guest, we are still trying to find out her name, so if anyone knows please help!!!!

Ann Marie is having another baby, this one will be a girl. She will be started on April 6th, and we are all very excited. This is a picture of Taison at the baby shower. What is Ann Marie going to do with two children under "2"?????

It was time for another "sleep over" at Granpa's. We enjoyed the time with the grandchildren. The first activity was making pizza's , wow, the adventure of rolling the dough and eating the pepperoni and especially McGregor eating 1/2 pound of cheese!! Next we moved to coloring the eggs for Easter, what beautiful colors we came up with, and we ended the evening with the movie "BLOT", and the funny part was the piegon said something about a "bigg mellon" and I though Grandpa would fall off his chair.
