Grandkids-tMarch 2009

It is fun to travel up and down the coast when the views are so beautiful.

We were on our way to a dental appointment in Lincoln City.

Chantrell is trying to see if this ball is edible.

Brenna is wondering why Rider won't wake up.

After determining that our neighbors are not home we went around their home to look at the little lake behind their house.

Rider is enjoying the view.

The babies love to go o a walk. Chantrell is in front and Brenna is behind.

Brenna is wearing the outfit Erica sent.

The outfits match--just different colors. They love their cousin Rhiannon

Rhiannon is bored. What will she do to liven up the kids and pose for some pictures?

Chantrell is in green.

Chantrell again.

Brenna looking pensive.

The word "family" compliments of Rhiannon.

Brenna "the redhead."

The babies love to climb into their toy bins!

February 2009

We enjoyed Erica's visit this month. She flew in to have DeWayne put a crown on her tooth. She used Vince's frequent flyer miles so got here for free. When the crown came back from the lab her Dad mailed it to her dentist in Utah to be put on. She was here for just a few days--definitly not long enough. Here we are in the car on our way to DeWayne's office in Lincoln City.


We stopped up on Neah-Kah-Nie Mt. for photos as usual and to enjoy the view.


It is beautiful even on cloudy days


I took this out the car window as we drove by. It is one of the Three Graces in the channel where Tillamook Bay entered the ocean.


Another one of the Graces.


The smoke stack in Garibaldi (my home town) is all that is left of the lumber mill where my step-father, Eino, worked.


Looking across the bay at the Bay Ocean peninsula which separates the bay from the ocean, hence the name.


Barry's birthday party. His birthday is on March 13th.


Tiffany and her kids at the party.


Here are their cute twins--Brenna on the left and Chantrell on the right.


Michelle and Barry posing while Barry is opening his cards.


Michelle and twin in my bedroom. She brings the babies in for a visit one or two time a day.


Chantrell--what a cutie.


Brenna is trying to bite Chantrell's hand with her gums. She has no teeth!


Now they are sharing.


Hi Mom. Aren't I cute?


Brenna can't stand up yet.


Rhiannon put bunny ears on Brenna.


Rhiannon is modelling her new glasses.


We have fun when they all come in my room.
