Sewing & a Christmas Photo

We were babysitting this weekend and Elise wanted to sew some buttons into a necklace. She really enjoyed the activity, and intently picked out her favorite buttons and sewed them together while Corinna just liked to play in the buttons!
The last is a picture of Gary & I at our Christmas gathering with our Bible Study. I need to get a new outfit as I think that I have worn the same one for the last 4 years or so!

Thanksgiving & Birthday

Thanksgiving & Gary's Birthday always seem to run together. I didn't get too many pictures from Thanksgiving, but here are a few. We made our family tradition, pull apart bread for breakfast and Roxanne helped me set the table.
The next week we met at a restaurant for Gary's Birthday. These are the cards that Rocket & Roxanne made for him. I think everyone had a ggod time but Corinna. She is not happy in this family photo!

Missouri trip







Well, I hadn't blogged for a while, partially because we hadn't been doing much and partially because my lap top was broken. But Gary and his co workers fixed it and now I am back in business.
So we just got back from a trip to Missouri to visit Becca & family. While there we

Played at the camp...
Went bowling...
Played outside...
Played with Rubber Band Guns...

And most of all took lots of pictures.

Protesting?

No it was not a protest. It was a rally at City Hall to help save the Post Office. I chuckle to myself to think that we grew up in the 60's when there was a lot of protesting. And we didn't participate in any of them. So now, we are in our 60's, we start attending them. But it is for a good cause. We need the Post Office and Gary needs a job. It was a very unique experience.

Another September Birthday






We had a second birthday here last week. Corinna turned 2. We had a BBQ, presents, cousins, and cake & ice cream. Corinna loved to open her gifts, and chocolate cake was also a favorite. The tired Momma looks like she enjoyed the cake also.

Roxanne'a Birthday


Roxanne had her 8th Birthday at our house on Saturday. She had Patrick cake (from Sponge Bob). We played a get to know Roxanne game and then everyone played with her favorite gift, a microphone. It was great to celebrate with her.








Picnic









We ended the summer with a family picnic in Denver.
Rocket caught grasshoppers that were in abundance int he park, the girls played in the water, and Grandpa bought ice cream for the kids. It was a relaxing Labor Day.
