Eagle Mountain Christmas II

Some fun pictures from the celebration.

Eagle Mountain Christmas

22 of us celebrated Christmas at Marie's house in Eagle Mountain. It was so fun!

Grandbaby Fun

Sometimes we get to tend Jude for a few hours on Saturday while his mom and dad work. He is learning to drink from a cup. How fun is that!?!?!?

A Texas Thanksgiving

We had a wonderful trip to Heather's for Thanksgiving and to celebrate Ryan's 10th birthday. We found time for donuts, a movie, Spring Creek BBQ, and general time together.

Fun in Eagle Mountain

Marie and Ryan have bought a new house in Eagle Mountain taking advantage of the economic incentives offered. It is a great house and we know they will love it. We spent a weekend with them and also got to spend time with Angie and her boys.

30+ Years

For anybody that wants to see what 30+ years does to you, check out the picture of Rob and Jan on Heather's blog posted October 10, 2009. Wow, time does march on.

Life Goes On

I haven't posted in a while. I have had a lot of work drilling for a new interchange. It is nice to have a little income for a while. The savings were about gone. I had a fun trip to Texas the end of September and early October but didn't take my camera so no fun pictures. We just keep moving along and are very blessed.

2 Binkies are Better than 1

Here's Ollie having a 2 binkie moment. He is so cute.

Visits

We have had a busy summer with lots of family activities and visits. Here is an adorable picture of 3 grandsons.

Fun Under the Texas Sun

We took Angie and her 2 boys to visit the Matthews for about a week. We had lots of fun with a baptism, pictures of the grandkids together, going to Let's Jump, swimming, eating at Spring Creek BBQ, and general play time.

Visit from the Bowles

We had a fun time having Angie and her two boys visit. Here are a few pictures. Cousin Jude also came to visit Olllie and Dex.

Blessing Dex

We had a fun long weekend up north for the Blessing of Dexter. We also spent some time with Marie's family, saw a nephew just back from his mission, and visited with my brother a little. Derek's family also made it up. We had a fun luncheon after the blessing.

Welcoming #15

Angie brought our 15th grandchild into the family, Dexter. He was a whopping 9 lbs 9 oz. We had a fun trip tending his big brother, welcoming the new arrival, and playing with some of the boy cousins.

Drew's Baptism

We made a flying trip to Lehi Friday and Saturday to celebrate Drew's baptism. It was fun.

Sick Grandbabies, Part II

Drew had surgery to better connect his head to his upper spine. It is as nasty and painful as it sounds. Kael also continues to be fed through a tube. Further testing and possible surgery for him.

Grandbaby Blessing

A fun weekend blessing Jude Laurence Oliver. That is the same outfit I blessed his dad in nearly 24 years ago. Picture with the grandmas and one with Robert Laurence, Derek Laurence, and Jude Laurence.

A Few More Fun Grandbaby Pictures

Meeting cousin Oliver, leaving the hospital and snuggling Grandma.

New Grandson

Jude Laurence Oliver born to lots of people who love him already.

We took a flying trip to Lehi Sunday through Tuesday to help our daughter Marie. Their littlest, Kael, has had trouble eating since he was born. He aspirates into his lungs as he eats and has bad reflux. It makes him miserable, screaming alot and not gaining weight as he should. He spent a few days in the hospital where they decided to put a feeding tube into his small intestine. He came home Monday night and immediately pulled it out, so back they went to have it reinserted. I can't believe those treating him can't figure out the problem. I think we will go back up this weekend if things continue as is. She has 3 other boys who need care also. Her sweet little sister Angie, who has a little one and is expecting the second, has been going down to help also. In the mean time, Derek's wife is expecting any day and we have been busy helping them move AND helping Janice's parents tear the flooring out of their townhome for remodeling. We have also been without a 2nd counselor in the bishopric for about a month, but that has been solved much to my delight. We just keep moving on.

Dreaming of a Fort Worth Christmas

We had a wonderful trip to Ft. Worth for Christmas. Here are a few pictures to show the fun!
