Go OU!



Are you ready for some football?

One afternoon digging a very deep hole, one afternoon pouring lots of concrete, one lift rented and hauled home...one frantic phone call to wife...and the OU flag now waves proudly , 28 feet in the air in the midst of Husker country! Go Sooners!

Life in Pictures....





Photos are the patches that make the quilt of our lives!

The Apple Doesn't Fall....



The apple doesn't fall too far from the tree!
Determined, strong, faithful, gentle, patient, funny...and very stubborn....times 2!

In September....

Grandparents are similar to a piece of string - handy to have around and easily wrapped around the fingers of their grandchildren.
~Author Unknown








Fun filled afternoons with Grandma and Grandpa....around here, we never run out of butterflies, rootbeer snow cones, hugs or candy! It's our job...to fill them up with sugar and send them home...and we try to do it well!

Home For A Visit!


You don't raise heroes, you raise sons. And if you treat them like sons, they'll turn out to be heroes, even if it's just in your own eyes. ~Walter M. Schirra, Sr

Perfect



The idea that no one is perfect is a view most commonly held
by people with no grandchildren.
Doug Larson




On a perfect day in September, Grandma cornered her "perfect" little jewels into sitting on the couch for just one more photo! There is no greater joy than a couple of hours listening to the laughter of our grandchildren. (I wonder though if they think my face looks like the front end of a Nikon lens?)

Symphony of Joy...

Listen for the music in all things and life will be a symphony of joy.
Gail Marie












A symphony of joy can often be heard around Grandma's dining room table. It's played on drums and pianos and guitars and usually accompanied by a loud little Sheltie, determined to be heard above the cacophony of untuned instruments and untrained voices. Grandpa says the only thing missing in this little family band is ear plugs! (Musical instruments courtesy of Uncle Kevin...musical ability courtesy of Grandpa Joe....lack of rhythm courtesy of Grandma Billie......but a good time is always had by all !)
