Happy graduation to Ben and Erik....

Congratulations to both of my nephews (Benjamin and Erik) on graduating from high school.  We weren't able to make it to Benny's party because we were gone, but here are a few pics from Erik's party. :)  Best wishes to both of you.  You both have bright futures ahead of you!....love you both very much!

G'pa and G'ma's huge "playpen"....

The best mother-in-law ever. : )

Our kids LOVE going to their grandpa and grandma's house.  G'ma has all kinds of fun toys to play with for all ages.  The older kids have a ball playing all of the video games, while the younger ones can't get enough of all of the ride on toys and outdoor "playpen" (a great big deck that neatly confines them all while they are completely oblivious to the fact).  G'ma and g'pa have this great sandbox that can keep the kids entertained for hours.

My niece w/my great nephew.

This past week, J., Sr., myself, Princess L' and Princess A all were able to go and meet our great nephew.  Lucky for us they live in Hawaii!!  He is such a cute little guy, and it was so much fun watching my niece be a mommy.  She does a great job with him.  Congrats B' and D'!
