MEMORIAL DAY WITH FAMILY

Look out Eli - here comes Micah

Susan was always trying to keep things cleaned up and organized
Roger was the chef at the grill and did a super job

The picture below is taken from the upstairs of everyone relaxing after swimming
Great Grandma was given the comfy chair and enjoyed watching all the commotion - Aunt Liz was with us too
We appreciate Roger & Dee Dee's hospitality to have our large family invade their home in Blue Springs - Thanks guys! It's always so fun to get together.

The guys had quite the basketball game going in the water
I think if you talked to them the next day that most of them had some sore muscles

The younger ones had a wonderful time with all their cousins

Maggie

The Moms were just trying to keep track of all the little ones
It was wet and cool out so not so inviting for me or my girls

Hudson was ready to get warmed up and rest

Not sure what kind of meeting is going on here but I think it was friendly:)

Meryn & Meredith were having fun with Greg

All the grandkids love to have grandpa's attention in the water

DAWSON CELEBRATES # 9

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Today is Dawson's birthday and he is 9 years old. He is growing up to be such a nice young man. He is pictured with his new Bible he received for his birthday and he said he needed one so was very excited. We love you Dawson and hope you had a good birthday.

MY DAD WENT TO HEAVEN TONIGHT

"Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints."

My Daddy went to be with his Lord and Savior at 11:10 p.m. on May 14. He loved to sing praises to the Lord he loved and this morning he is singing in heaven and there is much rejoicing. We will miss him here but we are so glad that he is well and with his Savior and with his family who have gone on before him. Thanks to all who prayed for him but continue to pray for Mom. We are so thankful that she is with us.

She is such a lovable little sweet heart and we are looking forward to having her at our home for several days this weekend. We love you Brooklyn and hope you have a fun filled birthday.

JOHNNY IS THIRTY-FIVE TODAY

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Today our son-in-law, Johnny Seaba, turns 35 years old. He is always the life of the party and is a great Dad & husband. We love you Johnny and hope you have had a wonderful birthday.

NEW FRONT DOOR

Yes, this is something that we have needed for quite some time too and we are enjoying the new look at our front door. The screen door has a top window that slides down and the top half of the door is then screen for better air circulation. It is so much fun to have new things that make everything look better.

NEW BEDROOM SET

Rog went to KC last week to help John & Melanie with a roofing project. As it turned out, they were able to get it done with someone who had a crew to put the new shingles on so what rejoicing for Rog and John. So Rog decided to help him with organizing things in the garage and helping around the yard. While organizing in the garage, there was a dresser and bed set that John had been storing and needed to do something with and we let him know we could use it. Oh what a blessing - we have been looking for quite some time but just couldn't find what we wanted. We found it and love it! Thanks again John & Melanie:)

OVERNIGHT VISIT WITH THE VEERS

We had a fun time Friday afternoon until Saturday morning when Phil & Julie and the kids came to stay before going on to a niece's wedding on Saturday. The kids were all dressed up to attend the wedding so I snapped a few pictures. When I told them to smile, Brooklyn tried hard to make it a good smile - they are precious grandkids. Owen is quite the good looking young man as well. We love you all!

THE BIG SNOW STORM

We had the biggest snow storm since 1970 that started Friday at noon and ended on Saturday at noon. We had 18 inches when we awoke on Saturday morning and it was still snowing so I would say we had about 19-20 inches in all. It was definitely a winter wonderland scene and there was no traffic around our street. Above you can see the front of our house and below shows the front of our neighbors house. By afternoon the sun came out and it was beginning to melt so hopefully today it will melt some more.

Looking out from our garage, the bushes and bird bath were covered

It took us a while to find the sidewalk

Looking out from inside our garage - quite a wall of snow

Bird bath covered

Patio and it was a little deeper at the end

Rog with the snow blower on the driveway - we spend an hour with a scoop shovel before he started the snow blower and the progress was slow

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOLLY!

Molly is celebrating her 3rd birthday today. She is growing up to fast with all the older siblings teaching her everything. Above I am holding her; she was one week old and I was able to spend time and help with her during that first week. Look at her now - what a little CUTIE! She loves to help and has such an imagination. She can make fun out of about anything. You are a sweetie pie Molly and we love you very much and hope you have a very fun birthday.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

ELLA IS TURNING 4 TODAY

Today is Ella's birthday. She is 4 years old. She is such a sweetie and is such a good helper to her Mommy and a fun big sister for Hudson. We love to spend time with you Ella and hope you have a very fun birthday. We love you and hope to see you soon.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
