Ta-da-da-da!! Drum Roll, Please

We know that you've all been patiently anticipating this posting.  However, before you get to see the good stuff, you've got to experience some of the construction and help us appreciate all the hundreds of pictures that Dad took.

Time out for a siesta

Don't panic, the garage isn't as bad as it looks -- that's all of the contractor's equipment.

Stamping the concrete

Okay, we've teased you long enough . . .

New grass


Now for the moment you've all been waiting for, the unveiling of the patio and the new front yard.

The  palm is in, more shrubs and flowers to follow.

Well, was it worth the wait?

My Grandkids Are Cuter Than Yours

The best part of all the things that we did this summer, was getting to spend time with our grandchildren.  Unfortunately, the visits seem to just fly by and leaves us wishing that our children lived closer so we could spend more time with everyone.

Our Denver Sweetie
  Those chubby cheeks are so irresistable!

Grandpa's teaching Austin how to bounce.

 Grandpa, let's play catch . . .

The Cedar City Cuties
Landon's gone from baby to little boy.  He loves to throw his balls down the stairs and then wants you to retrieve them for him.

Our little Brookie, already in kindergarten!!

Jacey's baptism day.  She thought she looked like a princess -- she really did.

We're so glad that we were able to share that special occasion with her. 

The Arkansas Darlings
Megan's in high school, Sammy in 3rd grade, and Noah's in kindergarten. 
Why do they have to grow up so fast?
