Puzzle Time

Audrey, Emersy, and Wrigley stop in right before Christmas. Grandma gets a puzzle out and they proceed to put it together on the living room floor.

.

"Lets start at the corner."

What a Team!

Admiring their work

" This makes a great dance floor."

Troy & Chrissie's Wedding

Audrey, Emersyn, and Wrigley's dad was remarried in Kimball, Mn. on November, 14, 2009.

Grandma & Grandpa went up for a few days and stayed with the new in-laws.

Grandpa was part of the wedding party, so unfortunately he didn't take as many pictures, as he normally does. It was a beautiful wedding and the kids were wonderful. Really wonderful.

Breakfast before the big day.

Emersyn prowd to be the flower girl.

"Stop taking pictures and hold me!"
(Which Grandpa did!)

Audrey was a big help watching Wrigley while we got the reception hall ready.

Getting a quick bite to eat.

(Grandma taking a chance?)

"This is how you do it."

Heart Breaker

Keegan and Katie stop in for a Visit

In June of 2009, Keegan and Katie stopped in for a visit. Katie was very into dress-up and Keegan was still into running. We were lucky to get photos of him during one of his short rest stops.

Boot's playing Peek-a-Boo!

"O.K. We're both looking. Where's the treats?"

Dora with a little tongue action. I think she was telling the squirrels that she was inside and they weren't.

"What do you mean, you can't get any work done?"

"What Mouse?"

Easter 2009

We were lucky and had the ALL the grandkids at Easter time.

This was the first time Audrey, Emersy, and Wrigley had gotten

to meet their new cousin Katie. They all had a wonderful time

looking for eggs in our yard and playing inside afterwards.

"I'm tired. I'll just sit here for a minute."

Emersyn's serious look

"What??!!"

THE FAB FIVE

After the Easter egg hunt everyone came back inside, and it

doesn't take long for them to gravitate to the piano. It's kind of

old and definitely needs tuning, but none the less, its very popular. We're glad we kept it.

"I think this is how it goes?"

Keegan and Katie practicing a future duet?

Watch out Beethoven here comes Wrigley

New Cousins

Girl's Celebrate Their Birthdays

In March of '09 we went to Minnesota to celebrate the girl's birthdays. Audrey had just turned 8 and Emersyn was turning 5 in April. We kept it simple with a few presents, pizza, and chocolate cake. Wrigley stole the show. He was starting to walk on his own and was getting into everything he could reach.

.

"Happy Birthday to You"

We have not done a very good job of updating our Blogsite.

We started it a year ago and then stopped after a few postings.

NO EXCUSES !!!!!

We still however have taken lots of photos.

We pledge that we will do our best to keep it updated regularly.

We just finished downloading almost a years worth of photos.

We will attempt to add a NEW posting every few nights.

We are still new at this and struggle sometimes.

Hopefully in a few weeks, we will be caught up.

CROSS YOUR FINGERS!!!

We hope you will enjoy them as much as we do.

Thanks for hanging in there with us.

Love Always, Grandpa Shane & Grandma Deb

Katie's 1st Visit to Grandma & Grandpa's

Katie and Keegan came to visit. It was Katie's first time at Grandma and Grandpa's. She got to check out the place and it seemed like she had always been around. She was just starting to attempt to stand on her own without any help. She would start to stand, attempt a step, but would plop back down. She's a cutie.

.

I think pink is her color.

"Quit looking at my new teeth and read this book to me!"

"I don't need no booster seat. I'm a big girl."
