Cheyenne taking a photo op.

Shawn with his two boys Zach and Conner in the hot tub.

Shawn, Daryl, Allison, and Tyler having a committee meeting.

Allison playing peek-a-boo with Grandpa.

The kids presented Gram Gram and Grandpa with a beautifu, soft blanket with the family names embroidered on it. Lovely.

The rest of the booty. Thanks to all for a very enjoyable two days.

Shawn came in his new Mini Cooper. Got to take it for a spin - very nice car. Gets great gas mileage too.


Fits two comfortably and 4 if they are small. One suitcase is the limit. Sounds like the airlines doesn't it?

Daryl and Tammy came in their new Honda Odyssey .
This is Daryl and Tammy's

This is Gram Gram and Grandpa's. Kinda look similar right. But ours is a year older.

Al and Fran 40th Wedding Aniversary

Our children took us to Bay City, MI on Sunday to spend some time together for our 40th wedding aniversary. Lori and Brian along with Cheyenne and Tanner; Daryl and Tammy with Allison, Rachael, and Tyler; Shawn, Zach, and Conner were there. We missed having Carrie and Lexi with us. They put us up in a room with a jacuzi and fireplace. Felt very special. The kids had a great time swimming and we had a great time eating out. Thanks all for great memories.

Grandkids sleepover

On Saturday, July 19th Gram Gram and Grandpa hosted a sleepover for 5 of the Grandkids. (l-r) Tanner, Allison, Tyler, Cheyenne, and Rachel are caught catching a few winks.

Guess they were just faking it!!

The kids enjoyed a couple of movies before bed and again Sunday morning.

Sunday morning Gram Gram and Lori made pancakes and waffles for breakfast. The kids enjoyed decorating them.

Tyler and his happy pancake.

Tanner applying the whipped cream.

Of course Grandpa had to show them how it was done using a waffle!!

Not sure who made this happy pancake.
