Update!

I just thought you might like to see how big

my two grandson's are here in Texas. Plus

if you go to Chris and Jamie's blog you can see how

big Jagger is. Boy, they grow fast.

Grant

Miss Keana got knighted into school this year.

It was fun to watch.

Oops, I got it sideways. Anyway, Donna and I made this cape for

her. It was to display what she likes.

Nic

Here they are!

I got some pictures now, so I can share with you. I am sure you have looked at Chris and Jamie's blog to see our cute little guy. But I still wanted to share a little.


When we were in Utah, Jamie took some cute pictures of all of us at the park. It was so fun.

How cute is that!!!!

Oh wait! No, How cute is this!!!

Oh wait, you just can't get any better than being a GRANDMA!

Right, all you grandma's?

Jagger

Here is just a little random piece of info. Our 25 chickens are dwindling
quickly. One, the others were picking on and so we gave her to Wayne and Cindy.

Then, I think one was running in the back yard and stepped into a crack.

When it doesn't rain here for awhile the ground gets these huge cracks.

Anyway it broke it's leg. How sad is that.

And to top it all off, we have a new little kitten. James found it under his car.

She is all black and he has named her Pepper. We really like her but she is still afraid of the chickens so she hides under the shed a lot.

Good times are had by all!

OK, I screwed up again. Start at the bottom and work your way up!

We left on Sunday morning. It was hard to say good-bye! On our way home we stopped in Denver to say hi to John and Tammy and Tanner. We only spent the evening and left for home the following morning but it was great to see them.




Chris made the record of under 10 seconds to go up and slide down the big slide. Wow!

Then we went to Jumping Jacks with the kids. We had so much fun watching them have fun.

Jen and family came to see us on Friday and on the Saturday before we left we all went to Provo to meet up with Wen and Becky, Dave and Mary Ann and Darla. We ate and had a great visit. We miss you already!

I was there for 2 weeks. We played, and worked and visited but most of all enjoyed. Doesn't Jamie look good for just having a baby! Mike came to visit in the last week.

Here is the only picture I have of him right now. Cute, what you can see of him.

Here is the cute couple right before Jagger was born. I don't have any pictures of him right now because we used Jamies camera instead and I haven't got those pictures yet. Look on Chris and Jamies blog and you will see such a cute baby. Jagger Mikel Knudsen born on July 26th. I will post pictures when I get them.

Jen picked us up from the airport and I made it to the hospital with 10 min. to spare.

Thanks for working with me. I can't believe I do this almost every time.
To start out with Charles and I went to Utah, Charles to go home to Mom and I was to go to Chris and Jamie's to help with the kids while she had her baby.

Fun in July!

Chris and Jamie, this is for you! How do you like it???

(They gave this tie to Mike for Fathers Day!)

I just want you to know that once my baby, always my baby!

I sure love my kids!

(Karen and Cindy)

We have 23 Chickens now.

Here is Dallas with one of the baby birds.

• Wayne told us about a woman who wanted to get rid of a coop so Mike went and got it. He did new things inside but the out side is the same.Hay, it works, right! Here is Karen and her beloved dog.

Who would of thunk!

Part of the klan watching fireworks that Chad was setting off.

Well, as you can tell, John and Tammy and Tanner

came to visit for a week. Tanner is just doing a little dance cuz

he is so happy we are going to San Antonio.

Elise and Dallas are just chilling until everyone is

out of the car and ready to go, here at the Alamo.

O.K. I think we are ready. On your mark get set......GO!

We met up with Tracy and are in line for the Alamo.

4th of July weekend was kind of busy.


How many people can you get in an elevator?

I know you can't see us all but we got us all.

That's a lot!



Here we are on the river walk boat.

Dallas and Elise and Karen can't wait for it to get started.

Mike and Karen and John, Tammy and Tanner stayed over night

and everyone else went home.

The next day we went to Sea World.

What fun we had there!

Tanner was waiting for the seals to do tricks.

I don't know which he liked better though, the seals or the sucker.

We went into a movie there that was 4D about pirates.

It was a hot day and it was cool inside.


We sure enjoyed our time with everyone.

Oh by the way, John and Tammy shared a little secret with us

which isn't a secret anymore.

Tammy is pregnant!

Due December 31.

We are all so happy for them.

This sweet grandbaby will be # 14 for us.

We love our grandkids.

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.
