Addition #12

First of all I want you all to see what a hard working man I have.

He works day and night and even more if he needs to.

I love to see him when he is trying hard

to be with family yet can't quite

stay focused.

Happy birthday James! Charles had a special gift just for him.

He couldn't wait for James to open it!!!

Along comes #12! Nicholaus Dustin Tolman born June 4th.

What a happy family. They got their boy!

Grandpa and Grandma are as pleased as punch!

We sure love him!

Cindy and Elise just love to look.

We thought Grant was small. And we thought Nic was big.

But when we put them together we found we were wrong.

Happy Birthday Charles and Elise!

We went to the park for their party and it was so pretty I thought

I would get a picture of the newest families.

Chad and Donna's

Wayne and Cindy's

3 new guests!

Meet Mr. Toad. This fine critter I

found behind the garbage can and

he and Dusty became good friends. LOL!!!

From head to tail he was about 6 to 7 inches long.


Here are our other 2 guests. I really

guess they aren't guests because they

are here to stay. Meet Boots. The

one in the background is Mittens, they

are almost twins. The Grand kids love

them. So does Dusty. Poor things get

malled to death.


Here is Charles and Keana showing off their

new friends.

Charles is my helper when it comes to mowing.

He loves to ride the mower with anyone that

will let him.

We need to get this old broken down shed looking

good in a month. So Mike has been working hard

This will be a storage unit. It looks pretty good

now. You should of seen it before.

Here is a better view of the shed. Looks pretty good , Yes?

O.k., now we are coming to James and my project. It is really more James' than mine. I just help when needed. He is the real owner of this project. He is doing a great job at making our land look great. Doesn't he look like an ant.

Doesn't that look nice! It was a weed patch.

Me, my mower, and my dog have become good friends.

We do alot together.

Dusty likes her 2 new friend. Now she

has someone to play with.

They like to snuggle.

Home again!

Somehow I lost this picture when I did the others. I just couldn't have her not in there. This is Elise with a hand full of indian paint brush.

Here is Dusty. She is much larger now.

We got her from Wayne and Cindy yesterdayand she is going

through withdrawal now. She misses her Mother and Brother.

Front and side yard. You can see Wayne and Cindy's trailor kind of

Through the clearing of those trees.

Take a look at our new place....

It took James and Mike about 6 hours to mow the lawn.

Hopefully next time it won't take so long

Hello, Random! Jen, this ones for you!

Spring has sprung pt. 2

Great fun was had by all!

Mike, Karen, John and Tanner.
Tammy, John and Tanner looking at the fish.

John and I finally won. It has been hard to win Mike and Tammy.
This is only the second time in how many years?
We still love to play as partners though.

I know this is backwards but you love me anyway, right! After we went to Chris and Jamie's we flew to John and Tammy's. Oh what fun we had there. We got to know Tanner better and we did all kinds of fun things. Temple, looked at the fish, picnics, games, Fun, Fun and Fun!!!

Tanner, Hay Tanner, Smile!

oops! How cute is that?


Don't they look alike?

And this is your Mother when.....

After the funeral we went to Chris and Jamie and family. They were also at the funeral.

Here is the Walker/ Gudmundson Family.

Dena. Kara, Al, Tracy, Chris, Shari, Stephanie, Lisa, Karen

Mary Ann and David

Wen and Becky

We were planning to go to Denver to see John and Tammy and Tanner. A week before we were to leave we got a phone call from Tracy Gudmundson saying that Larry had passed away. This was not the words that anyone wants to hear but it happens just the same. We love Larry and the Walker/Gudmundson family I hope that they know that! We changed our plans some so that we could go to the funeral. It was in Utah and so we got there on Friday night. Jen and Emma came to the airport and picked Mike and I up. We then went up to Logan and spent some time with them. It was so good to see them. They have a new addition. They have a new little foster daughter. Oh is she a cutie!!!

We also got to go to Emma's ballet performance "The Firebird" She was one of the dolls. Oh she was soooooooooooo cute.

After that was over we said our good bye's and James took us to Wen and Becky's house and we stayed the night so that we were closer for the viewing in the morning. We so enjoyed our visit with them even if it was short. We love you guys!

This is after the program.

Jen, James and gang.

What a happy family!!!!


I am so sorry, I couldn't get this to work right this time. So the pictures are out of order. I am going to start a new post.
