I Just Had a FANTASTIC Weekend!


This past weekend was truly a blessing to me....I got to see all four of my grandkids, Wyatt and Trey ... he prefers to be called Hugh now, but it is hard for me to remember that after 8 years ... spent the night with me Saturday night while Jona and Donna traveled to a Warrior Run that Jona completed. That afternoon we went to Denton to visit with Carla, Daniel, Dylan and London.

Dylan calls them WYATTTREY...veryseldomonenameatatimeusuallybothatonce. We went to a fantastic park there and let everyone romp and stomp. When we drove up, Trey's...er, Hugh... reaction was, "WHOA!" EVERYONE got in the action ... well.... I just followed along with the camera and enjoyed taking pictures of their antics.

Carla has the first half of the pictures taken in the enclosed climbing area with all the mazes and swings and monkey bars and hand rails and everything else that makes a kid happy. You can see those on her blog at www.mommysliceoflife.blogspot.com.

Here are some of my favorites that I took after we left the play area and went over to the open park and lake area.


Wyatt decided right away to climb a tree while...

Dylan and Trey tortured London with tickles...until
everyone had to get in on Wyatt's tree action...even London.

London loves her Daddy...bet you can't tell he's pretty crazy about her, too...
Trey decided to balance on the bench...but
Wyatt couldn't be outdone so he jumped over it...and
notice who is taking off by herself with brother in hot pursuit! But finally....

we were able to settle the kiddos down for a Grammy and Gramkids group shot...still
we did have to be a little silly....and
even when it was time to call it a day, Carla and Dylan were still feeling silly...
A good time was had by all....even Charlie!

A Family Picture At Last!

A Family Picture At Last!
For about five years now I have been trying to get my kids and grandkids together for a family picture. Well, Carla, Donna and I finally suceeded in dragging Jona all the way kicking and protesting and threatening to leave if the photographer didn't get to us in the next few minutes. I think my son may be a bit camera shy. He is a great photographer, but doesn't like to be in front of the camera. When we finally got into the studio, a really sweet (and flirtaceous) lady got him to cooperate. As you can see from the photos, he (and the rest of my loves) looks great!
