Happy Anniversary Mom and Dad!!!

35 glorious years ago Mom and Dad (aka Kim and Bud) were joined in holy matrimony!! What a ride it has been! I know that there have been wonderful times! I mean really they have me!! :) And I know there have been tough times! I won't give out specifics Travis and Trina! But through all the thick and thin their love (and tolerance) for each other has seen them through. I hope that there will be another 35 and many more grandchildren!! Congratulations and Happy Anniversary!! I hope you get to go out somewhere wonderful, like DJ's!! No really enjoy!

Santa (aka Bud)

Every year Santa makes an appearance at the Big Brothers Big Sisters holiday party.  

This year the news reporters got him on tape which has been used a few times.  This time it was part of the six o'clock news.  Check it out:  http://www.kcrg.com/news/local/94523109.html

Kadelynn at Grandma's house. Becca went to work for half a day, so Grandma took pics. Here are a few of 2 month old Kadelynn.

Happy Birthday, Trina!

Twenty-seven years ago today we were blessed with a 10 lb. 2 oz. baby girl!  This was after a loooooong wait and being started twice.  She was stubborn before she was even born and still is today. She has recently come to the realization that when you have kids your birthday just isn't as important any more.  So true.  We celebrated with cheesecake and a candle.

Happy Birthday, Trina!!

A Juilfs "Bully"

We were all together Saturday for Tasha's shower.  CJ and Grayson were sharing Nana's lap.

They started out a little indifferent to each other.

Grayson took a peek at CJ when CJ wasn't looking.

CJ then got a good poke at Grayson and cheered for himself while  Grayson pouts.

CJ aka the bully, goes in for the kill!  He figured he'd give Grayson "Something to cry about!"

I guess his parents haven't taught him about the "no bullying" law in Iowa!!

This is what happens when you get mouthie.
This is Grandma's first black eye. She has stopped
taken the drug that made her fall.
