Grandma with her two grand daughters Shea and Chloe.
golfing with the kids.
Shea has the best big brothers in the world! They love to make her happy and having pretend tea made her happy.
I didn't realize how many pics i have of Shea so I thought I'd share a few.

She loves my hat!

Christmas

This year Santa put Cade's bike together at midnight on christmas eve so he must not have realized that it was a dud. Luckily Santa left a note telling Cade to go to Toy's R Us where he has an account and to just trade it in for a new one. So this is cade putting together his bike with dad.
This was uncle Mike as the scariest santa ever. victoria and Braden were the only ones that weren't cowering in the corner or with their mom. They'll appreciate uncle mike when their older :)
we let them create their own stockings this year, as you can see they've received my creativity and skill in all things crafty.... sorry guys.

Valley Forge

This was back in PA...

Valley Forge Encampment
A Winter of Suffering

"To see the men without clothes to cover their nakedness, without blankets to lie upon, without shoes...without a house or hut to cover them until those could be built, and submitting without a murmur, is a proof of patience and obedience which, in my opinion, can scarcely be paralleled."

George Washington at Valley Forge, April 21, 1778
