Jamie & Baba's Visit

Craig's Mom came for a visit on Jan. 23 and was able to stay for 10 days. Jamie came on Jan. 29 and stayed from Friday to Monday.
We had such a nice time having Mom here. Amber and kids came most days to visit. We went to her home for lunch one day and took a visit to the Mercer Arboretum.
Mom and I went to see Blindside, a great movie one day.
Amy and Shad had dinner for us all one night. Carrie made brunch one morning for all of us. When Jamie came on Friday night we had a big dinner planned. Her flight was delayed so we ate without her. But she came about 2 hours later and had dinner and bluebell icecream and cake with all of us. I wanted to add some pictures we took. We had all our children together.

Catherine Handy's Baptism

On Friday we flew to New York. We caught a cab to take us to Grand Central then took a train to New Canaan to spend a few days with Jamie's family.
On Saturday, Catherine was baptized. Both sets of Grandparents were there and that was fun. We sure did enjoy being with all the children and playing with them.
They still had snow on the ground so Tyler got to sled down their backyard slope. The day was beautiful and sunny and also jumped on the Trampoline. After the baptism we went to an aquarium and enjoyed that alot. Then to California Pizza for dinner. Sunday was a nice relaxing day, a wonderful day at church together, a wonderful dinner then games and such for evening. Monday we went with some of Jamie's friends to Jump it Up place and had lots of fun watching the kids and of course we also had to take our turns doing all the fun things.

Freezing Campout

Tyler and his friend Michael camped out about a week or so ago. Tyler wanted to campout when it was below freezing. That does not happen very often. They set up the tent in the backyard and had a great cool night but stayed warm. Tyler even slept out in the tent by himself the next night.

Halloween 2009

I just couldn't find any of Tyler's Halloween pictures. He dressed up as Patton and then donned a lab coat and wig and turned into a mad Scientist. Now where are those pictures!!!Oops, We forgot to get a picture of him. Ha! That's what happens when the grandkids are around.

Sisters Get Together 2009

My Sister Tobi and husband Scott have been in Malaysia for 6 months and came back for a visit. A great excuse to get together with all the siblings. We had such a nice time.
Vicki, Tami and I stayed with Dad and Mama Lanie. Penny stayed with Tab and Pam. We got to be with Terri and John also. Helmut and Lark also came to the family gathering on Friday night along with Tobi's children and grandchildren. Lots of fun. I missed getting a picture of Tab and Pam but we sure did have fun being with them also.

Still got it after all these years

Most Wednesday nights, the ladies gather at the church at 9 pm to play volleyball for an hour and half. It is really fun especially when we get enough to really play. It's fun to have Carrie here so we can play together or against each other, Ha!
We had our stake volleyball tournament a couple weeks ago and our ward had 3 teams.
I played on the championship team !
