Easter 2009 found me in Dallas. Angie and Lili moved to Texas and I helped her and was able to stay 2 weeks. So I took lots of pictures at Easter.

This one is of Mother, Jan, Julie and Sarah: 4 Generations. It's amazing to see that the grandkids are getting so big, much less being old enough to have grandkids.

This was the first time that Lili had spent Easter with the Texas family and the first time I hadn't been with Tim, Sarah, Isabel and Trent. That was tough, but it was nice to be with the family again.

The kids had a great time. Jan and crew had hidden almost 300 eggs for the 5 kids to find. Grand prize was a $5 bill, Chadin (the youngest) won



If you look closely you can see eggs all over the ground. Dillon was kind of upset that he was too old this year to hunt... but that's part of growing up. All the kids got along and had a good time and everyone gathered a LOT of eggs. It's such a joy to watch the kids have fun!

They gathered so many eggs that each child had to have a plastic bag to put their goodies in while they went out and hunted some more. There was money and candy, so everyone came out okay. There were no squabbles, just lots of running and looking. Lili was in awe of the amount of eggs to find. She'd never seen that many!


Here's one that's close to my heart. I miss Lili so much my heart hurts, so I work on my layouts and see her every day. She has always been a part of my life (so it seems) that when she left part of my heart went with her.

Here she is as our little Easter bunny. The picture was taken over Angie's phone so it's not the best but it was precious that I had to use it!


I hope you like the Easter pictures. I will post some of Trent and Isabel very soon. I have gotten to see them more since Angie and Lili left. It's been great!

Happy Valentine's Day

Hi All! Lot's of things have been happening here in Colorado. The kids are growing FAST and time is marching by. I hope you enjoy the layouts I've created .

The first 2 are really close to my heart and believe me they have a few tears on them. Angie and Lili are moving back to Dallas the first of April. Man, is this hard. We've never been separated for more than a few weeks since Angie was born and now ...



Of course I have to create Valentine pictures.







Look at my kids.... where has the time gone. They're all grown up and I'm just getting old.

We have had unseasonably warm weather for November here in Colorado. Tonight they're predicting snow flurries and a high of only 35 degrees for Thursday. That's Colorado weather, blink and it changes. I had my cousin, David, scan some of the pictures of back-in-the-day when I was younger and some of the older family photos so I've been working on that. Here's some of the ones I've done. Hope you like them.




































The layout above is the first "colorized" attempt I've ever done... it's gonna take lots of practice to get it right!
See you soon!

Our Texas Visits

Hello all!

I've been busy doing layouts and I wanted to show you what I'd done.
These are layouts of pictures from Thanksgiving 2007 and of our visit in September 2008. I'm not through making layouts of these times...


















Now remember, if you want any of these just let me know what size and I'll make them and send to you via email for you to have printed.

Treasure Hunt

Hi, again! These pictures were just too precious to not treat them with the respect they deserved. She was a pirate that day, so she talks like a pirate! All the words she says are of course, from me.... It's all done in jest!










It's been a long time since I was here, but I've got a lot to share with you. Lili went on vacation with her Dad and Stepmom, Ashley, beginning July 3rd. They went to North Carolina where they stayed on an island just off the coast of No.Carolina. These are the pictures that Ashley sent me.










These pictures were taken at their house in Kansas right after Lili got there.
