Thanks for Family!

We have had several months filled with 9 grandchildren. From summer to fall, spending valuable time with our kids and grand kids, has made us appreciate all their differences and similarities. What fun we have had! Emma and Mark spend some weekends with us occasionally, and we always have fun. This was our family reunion trip to Yellowstone. We all had such a great time.

We spent some wonderful time in Omaha with Mike, Loralee, Kaitlynn, Hailey and Mikey. We went to a baseball game and got soaked to the skin, and spent time at the zoo. Also, we celebrated Hailey's 4th birthday and the 4th of July. Building a swing set and BBQ-ing, kept us really busy, but filled with fun, fun, fun!

Carter and I got to spend some one on one time together. Robby, Natalie, and Carter stayed half the summer with us, and it was terrific. Carter feels really comfortable with us, and I am so glad for that.

This young man is our newest grandson, Baron Glen Bleazard. He joined us on November 18th. What a beautiful baby he is. He weighed 9 lbs 12 oz. A big boy! He is anxious to play ball with all his uncles!

I had to include this picture of Baron with his family! Eva just met him and already she shows him how much she loves him. We were pretty excited to go and meet him.

Another thing that warms my heart is when Petra comes running to me. She and I are sharing a moment watching a favorite cartoon on the computer. She jabbers and tells me all about it.

Today is Thanksgiving day. I can't help but feel such gratitude for all our family. Our children bring us so much happiness. From Omaha to Utah, our hearts are warmed by the love and closeness we all share together. Grand kids are the greatest gift to us ever! They are all so smart! (stated like a true Grandma) Mark and I are so blessed. Happy Thanksgiving to all our family and friends.
