Indiana November 2009(Scroll down to older post... I made 3 post today! Love you all)

Allyson turns 17!!

It seems only yesterday that I was posting Ally turning 16 and now another year has flown by. We celebrated a week early because I was going to be in Indiana on November 1.

A Trip to Indiana- a new granddaughter!!!

We had lots of time to play. Look at our block skills.
This is the first time I have been with Lucy and Andrew for Halloween. Fun!!!
We had so much fun each day and Lucy always had two extras...Alice and Mouse.
Each night I enjoyed quietly rocking Gracie to sleep/ Tender memories!!

Isn't she beautiful!!! Gracie reminds me of Allysom when she was a baby.

Our Newest Grandson!!!

Benson Drew Hyer was born on September 21, 2009. He is the son of our daughter Sarah and her husband Spencer.(This is their 4th child) He is our 7th grandchild and we are thrilled to be able to be so close that we can visit and hold him. Isn't he sweet??

A Trip to Dallas!

August 12 ,Jared and I flew to Dallas ,Texas to attend the wedding of our nephew- Jon Bjarnason-to Jennifer M. Our son Spencer and his wife Suzie and daughter Sidney met us there. Also Clarke flew in from Indiana.We had a great time and were able to sight see in Dallas . We went to the grassy knoll and the site of the Kennedy assasination. We were able to hear Michael L. present his eyewitness account of that day -as he was 13 and on the corner. It was very interesting. The highlight of course was the wedding and being with family. I decided to make a slde show so you can right click and get the pictures you want. Enjoy!!

A Day At Yosemite LAke!

Maren in her new bathing suit she received for her birthday. She was not afraid to go in the water at all. Almost to brave for me!!!

Liz and her family came for a week so we all went to the Lake. We all had a great time.

Mckay swimming without floaties and dad with Maren. She was a real fish. The kids had a ball.

Need I say more! Taylor was all smiles. The weather was perfect!

Sarah and Mckay under the umbrella. Digging in the sand was a hit also.
