November-December 2008

Michelle brings the babies in to see me almost every day. Here they come.


Here they go! There little faces are so cute.


This guy was unique as he was the first I've ever seen using a paddle.


Racer enjoyed exploring the beach.


Racer likes spending time with Aunt Shelly.


Brenna and Chantrell love free time on the floor and travel from room to room.


This is the motel where Tiffany works at the front desk. Her back hurts her too much to do housekeeping. She has symptoms of a herniated disk.


Another view of the Hi-Tide Motel


Racer brought me a razor clam to see. Tiffany and Adam took the kids clam digging.


They are pretty big--about 4 inches.


Clean face Racer!!

DeWayne's Birthday

Getting ready for DeWayne's party. Here's Tiffany.


And Michelle and Barry.


Ryder and Racer are watching their Grandpa open and read cards. What is Ariana doing here?


Look this way and smile.


Here's Rhiannon.


DeWayne has a cake in front of him, no candles or songs, please. He turned 69 this year on Nov. 8.

Thanksgiving

DeWayne is carving his turkey. We had 14 people for Thanksgiving (including the twins who didn't eat any turkey).


Adam is carving his turkey. We ate them both within three days after Thanksgiving.


"Let's fill this plate with sliced turkey."


Michelle is ready to eat,and she is admiring our beautifully set Thanksgiving table.

Ryder and Racer are eating at the island in the kitchen.


A better view of the left side of the table.

Someone grabbed my camera and insisted that I be in one of the pictures.

So is Ryder.


Tiffanys loot.


The babies are waiting and looking so cute.


Later they transferred to two seats that were a lot more fun.


Tiffany, Rhiannon, Rider, and Racer are all ready for the party to begin. Michelle made a yummy Pineapple Upside Down cake.


Cards and presents first, cake second.


Still opening presents.


Tiffany in her new shirt and with the cake all ready to be lit and blow out the candles.

The cake is ready!

While Adam dishes up the ice cream. Michelle deleted the photo of her and Barry in the kitchen, DeWayne was in Lincoln City, and I am taking the pictures.

Rhiannon reminds me of Tiffany when she was nine years old.


Tiffany is dressed up for the rest of her birthday which included playing pool, and a night at the motel where Tiffany works.
