I think they look alike, do you?

This is a picture of my dad and his sister, my Aunt Mildred

 

This is David, Deryk's youngest.  Maybe I am crazy, but I think that David reminds me of my Dad. 

Christmas?

I am so excited for Christmas and I am feeling it, so I changed my background to a Christmas background.  :0)

Preston trying to feed the dog

Photo and video editing at www.OneTrueMedia.com

Preston took a few pieces of dog food and put it in the empty water bowel for the dogs and chased Shadow around the back yard trying to get her to eat the dog food.  I got part of it on video.  Maybe cuz I am the grandma, I thought it was hilarious and thought you might enjoy watching him too.  :0)

Seth's New Shoe

Seth and Addie were with me the other night and Seth found a new shoe!  It was so funny, he was walking around with this on his foot.  It is a big styrofoam thing that came from my new (had no business buying it, but Soooooo glad I did) I Mac!  I love my grandkids, they are so fun! 

Connor's blessing day

Today Connor was blessed.  Lori had the family over for dinner after church.  This is their beautiful family.

VerLynn and Preston Brigham

Melanie, Nathanael, Preston and Preston, and VerLynn as they were coming in.

It was a great day.  Trevor's family came also so it was a full house.  We enjoyed lasagna and good company! 

Babysat Preston and Porter Today

Preston is sooooo active and has a lot of fun "redecorating" the house.  This is how you turn a dump truck into a riding toy.

This is Porter.  I am such a good babysitter that once he finally got his tummy full this is what he did for the rest of the time!  I think it's the ocean sounds that the swing makes that did it.  :0)

Preston needed a bath and he had a lot of fun in there.  I couldn't get him to come out.  He is squirting me with the water bottle.  He thought that was really funny! 

He squirted just about everything in the bathroom, including the faucet. 

He had a plan and he worked and worked on rearranging everything around the tub.  He took these candles out of the holder thing in the corner and then he took the glass marble things and decorated the candles, then he would move the candles to a different spot and then put more marbles on them.  It was interesting to watch him.  It was obvious he had it all planned out.  

His final job was to take all the little marble things out of this.  He threw them in the tub and then the few that were left he put in a row, even turning them over so they were all flat side down.  It was sure fun watching him.  (I won't take any pictures of the family room though, can't seem to find the floor for the toys!) 

Trevor & Nathanael on a crazy ride

Make video montages at www.OneTrueMedia.com

State Fair

Just arrived at the State Fair, Nathanael is just ooozing excitement don't you think?

Two absolutely adorable kids!  Connor kept smiling and laughing, even when noone was looking at him.  He was so good the whole time.

Lori with Connor and Kelsie.  Lori and I were the official "ride watchers"  Trevor was the main official "ride rider" and Nathanael was his sometimes reluctant rider rider companion.

Trevor and Nathanael are getting ready to ride this crazy ride.  Nathanael is VERY uncomfortable sitting on those seats, you can see him trying to get into a different position.  If I can remember how to post a video, I will put on the video of them riding this ride.

Porter Blessing Day

Porter was blessed on Sunday, Nov 1.  Here is a picture of the family. 

Preston had the cutest suit on for church.  I wanted to get a picture of him in it but he refused to stand for the picture, so here he is sitting.  Little stinker!  :0)

Here is Connor and Porter.  They are just two weeks apart. 

Halloween and Some of the Grandkids

This is Kelsie dressed like a lady bug.  Aaron thought she was a watermelon and Preston thought she was a , ok senior moment, I can't remember what he thought she was.  She was a little freaked out when Lori put a scary mask on.  Ok, she was a LOT freaked out! 

This is Connor in his pumpkin costume.

Here is another Pumpkin,  this is Porter. 

Preston was a full fledged cowboy, complete with horse and spurs!  If you squeeze the horses ears it makes horse noises! 

I would have pictures of the other grandkids in their costumes but no one else came over!  :0) 

I think this diet is working!

Wow!!!  Look how good I look now that I have been on this diet for 14 Days!!!  I also look younger and VerLynn has lost weight and gained hair by just being my husband!!  Everyone needs this diet :0)

Twins?

Ok Sally, I don't think you have this picture, it shows Porter's face a little better than the one you posted I think 

This is Deryk's newborn picture

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DERYK! Born Oct 15, 1977

This is Deryk one day old in the hospital.  VerLynn ran to the store and bought him this little outfit.  Deryk was on 7lbs 1 oz so he was really little.  He actually wound up being the runt of the litter!  If you don't count the girls.  He had a ton of hair, they slicked it all down for the picture.

Can't remember how old he was in this picture.  I think around a year.

I love this picture of Deryk and Tiffani.  I looked outside and they were having a blast in the mud!  Not sure how it got all over their faces!

I'm probably going to be in big trouble for posting this.  Don't look at the mess behind him, he is in a storage room in the basement that hadn't been organized yet.  There was a weight set and bench in there too.

Deryk on his mission in North Carolina

Deryk and Sally on the Wedding Day (obviously!)  Great looking couple!

Deryk and his family today, 3 beautiful children, Brandon, Ashly and David.  Happy birthday, we love you! 

Since it is my birthday too, I thought I would throw this in.  I walked into the apartment at the ministorage and this is was I saw as I walked in.  Verlynn, Preston and Nathanael were here all day, I stayed at Tiffani's to watch her kids.  They are on their way home taking the dump truck and the motor home to the job that is starting Monday.  So anyway, I took the shuttle up here tonight and I had a happy birthday surprise waiting for me.  VerLynn got me a card and a necklace and a dvd, Quigley down Under.  (I haven't quite figured that one out yet!)  Preston and Melanie bought me the flowers, they were delivered some time today I guess, because Rachel (the manager here a the ministorage) must have brought them up and I think it was her that added the happy birthday banner.  Thank you to everyone!  It topped off a great day with a wonderful surprise! 

Bob the builder, or maybe Grandma the builder?

Seth wanted to build a wall, while we were building it he decided he wanted a wall to put his dinasours in.  So I build this lovely wall and he filled it up.  There are dinasours in there somewhere.  But as you can see he put everything else in there too!  Notice the army men on the top of the wall! 

 

Addie is such a girl.  She has mastered the art of talking on the phone and leaving your hands free for other things!

Notice the texting position!  She is all ready to be a teenager!!  (wonder what life will bring by the time she is a teenager)  Who would have ever thought of everything we have now when I was a teenager?!

Playing Possom

Just a funny story.  Last night I was watching Kelsie and Connor and I took them down to my mom and dad's to say hi.  For some reason Kelsie is scared of my mom and when she saw her she crawled up on my lap.  I had Connor in one arm and Kelsie in the other.  She put her head down (we were facing my mom) and closed her eyes.  Pretty soon she seemed very limp and we all assumed she just fell asleep.  So I got up, with her in one arm and Connor in the other (brings back memories!) and as soon as we got out of their room, Kelsie popped her head up and said Hi! 

Happy Birthday Trevor

This is on the day that Trevor and Lori got married

All decked out for Lori's c section

Kelsie and Lori with Trevor on one of their hiking/camping trips.  Trevor loves to hike and he is so good about taking Lori with him. 

Proud daddy.  Thanks Trevor for being a great dad and a great husband to Lori.  We are grateful to have you in our family and appreciate all that you do for us. 

HAPPY 6TH BIRTHDAY KYLE!!!

Kyle is sooooo sweet and loving.  Look at him loving on Megan! 

Here he is with Jenna being so sweet again.  He picked apples and was giving them to me.  Kyle is VERY special and has such a sweet tender heart and he is smart as a whip.  But he did tell me he isn't as smart as a 10 year old!  ( I'm not so sure he isn't)  We love you Kyle, hope you had a special day!
