BRITTANY CELEBRATES HER BIRTHDAY

Today Brittany celebrates her 14th birthday. She is quite a busy girl these days. Recently she was modeling the gown that you see in the picture and today she played in a volleyball tournament most of the day. She said she would probably go to bed when she was done. Hope you played well Brittany. She knew today would be busy so she celebrated her birthday with friends last weekend I believe. Brittany is a sweet girl and very busy with lots of activities(if you watch their blog, she also can cook up quite a meal). We love you Brittany and hope you have a wonderful birthday.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

A VERY WONDERFUL CHRISTMAS 2008

We had a wonderful Christmas with most of the family. We were missing the John Seaba family and the John Neir family and Grandpa Tucker(he was in the hospital). We had our Christmas dinner at our house and then went to Greg & Susan's house to open presents. Greg had to work Christmas Day so he drove by in the fire truck to see the family for a moment. We quickly got a picture of most of us that were at his house at the time and had just finished opening presents.

Below you can see that everyone is looking forward to opening presents.


The computers are lots of fun for the grandkids(and their moms and dads) and with the webkinz being so popular now, they all had to take care of their animals.

Trevin - Micah - Dawson

Owen - Caleb - Evan - Meryn

Below there is one full living room with many things going on. Computers - games - picture taking - and just sitting and visiting -- We had a really good time together.

THE GIRL I PRAYED FOR

Today I, Roger, am blogging for Mary. You see, Mary turns 65 today. She is the love of my life and a gift from God. When I was a young teen, I heard Billy Graham tell a story about his daughter when she was 8 years old. "Daddy, does God know who I will marry some day?" "God knows everything, let's pray for him right now." From that day on, I began to pray for that girl that God had for me. Girls came and went and I kept their names out of that prayer. I met Mary when I came to Hutchinson in August, 1966, to teach at Central Christian. It took very little time until I realized that this was the girl that I was praying for. She was everything that I had dreamed about. She is my dearest friend. Mary is wonderful Mom to our 6 children and a very devoted grandmother to our 23 grandchildren and a loving daughter to her parents. Mary, it is so special to know that God picked you out for me. As your husband, today on your birthday, I praise you (Proverbs 31:28) and the God who gave you to me. Happy Birthday, Mary! I love you - Rog

DAD CELEBRATED HIS 91st BIRTHDAY

Dad turned 91 yesterday, November 18th. We celebrated by having dinner together last evening with the folks and Greg & Susan's family. We decided to stay home and grill instead of trying to go out.

Dad is battling some confusion but had no confusion about singing the old choruses. We love you Dad and wish you a very Happy Birthday!
