What a group!



Maddie Sparkles




Well, it was that time again and how fast the time flies. It seems like yesterday that we were taking pix with our grandbabies and oh how they have grown! It was fun as usual. There has always been one who wasn't up for the event and this year the winner is......Sam! Really, he hasn't been feeling well and just didn't want to do this. He would rather check out Mamo's place and play. However we did get some pretty good ones. Check them out.

Happy Birthday Abigail!!!






It's hard to believe that our sweet Abigail celebrated her 1st birthday. It was a great party and everyone seemed to have such a good time. The kids have so much fun when they are all together. Happy Birthday Miss Lally we love you so much!!!!!

Waiting for baby Cox




We went to a baby shower for our cousin Courtney. She is expecting her first baby in 2 weeks. Everyone is very excited and the shower was very nice. We left a little early to go and celebrate our Abigail's first birthday. It's been an exciting day full of blessings.

catching up





It's been a while....just thought I'd put a few cute, cute pix of the kids on my blog. I've been busy, of course and have not taken any recent pix. I've got lots now! Get ready. I've kept the girls a few times for Marla so I have some cute one's of them. Lil Victor spent the night with us Friday and we had a fun time reading and just snuggling. Hope you all enjoy

The Loss of a dear friend.

On July 3 a dear, dear friend of ours, Chips Cronen returned to Heaven. He will be missed. We pray and ask for prayers for his wife Barbra and sons.
I came across this scripture that seems to be appropriate for Chips, it reads from Ephesians 6: 16-18
"At all times carry faith as a shield; for with it you will be able to put out all the burning arrows shot by the evil one. And accepting salvation as a helmet, and the word of God as the sword which the Spirit gives you. Do all this in prayer, asking for God's help. Pray on every occassion, as the Spirit leads. For this reason keep alert and never give up; pray always for God's people."

This is just one thought that gives "light" to the life of Chips Cronen. He was truly a prayer warrior. I've counted on his prayers many times and will continue to do so..
