SO HAPPY TO HAVE RECENT PICTURES

Finally I have pictures that are current. We went to spend the day with Tayler and Sydney and there was plenty of opportunity to take pictures of these two lovely ladies. Ryann contacted me and said she emailed me a few pictures on her phone, but I have a new email address and she didn't have the new address. She does now, but I'm sure she is so busy that sending isn't something she needs to do right away. I know she has plenty of pictures on her camera so I will get those too. Erin has a number of pictures on her camera disk that she said I could download onto my computer so I can use them too, the next time I see her I will have my computer with me. So on to our day with Tayler and Sydney.

A good morning smile from Sydney.
And another one from Tayler.

The girls are dressed and ready to head out for a little business.

SHOES - I wonder if someone couldn't find a pair of shoes to put on.

They both have shoes on now. I wonder who is going to pick the rest of them up?

Silly sun glasses on silly Syd.

I'm can't believe that I bought these and I actually plan on wearing them.

Back home and playing school. Tayler is the teacher and Sydney and I are the students.

Schools over and they are taking a break.

UNTIL I GET PICTURES LAST YEARS AT THIS TIME WILL HAVE TO DO

As you know our family has been very busy and I don't have any updated pictures. We will see Sydney and Tayler on Thursday so hopefully I will be able to take some pictures of our two oldest girls. Marshall and Dylann will not be home until this weekend and we will be with them on Tuesday so I will be able to take pictures of them then. Hopefully both families will have pictures of some of the activities they were recently involved in and I will be able to post those too. I decided to post pictures from last year of the children at the beach and Tayler and Sydney at Hershey park from last year too since they were there on Sunday. You've probably have seen these before, but it's always fun looking back. Check out how much these children have grown.

He has really gotten so much bigger from last year.

And so does Tayler.

I NEED PICTURES

I know that some of this pictures may have been posted before, but I need pictures. As I said before Matt and Ryann are at the Outer Banks this week so hopefully I will get a few pictures from them. Erin and the girls were at Hershey Park today so maybe she remembered to take a few pictures too. There is a lot planned this summer and Nana and Pappy will also be spending time with them so hopefully we will have many pictures to share this summer. I decided to post a number of pictures of Erin that I liked so that's what you get to enjoy today.

Friends from middle school and they are still friends today.

Amy, Rachel and Erin. More friends from middle school. I love they remain friends still.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MATT

My how hard it is to believe that on Wednesday, June 8 at 9:48 AM it will be 35 years since Matthew was born. What a beautiful, wonderful, miraculous feeling it was to become a Mother for the very first time. He was our bundle of joy with big blue eyes and the whitest hair I'd ever seen. We were so proud and his Dad made sure that the nurses moved his incubator up to the front of the nursery so we could see him easier. He was six weeks early so the incubator was necessary. He was a busy little guy, who at first loved tractors, much like his daughter Dylann. As he got older his interest turned to sports and of course he loved to play golf. He still enjoy sports, an occasional game of golf, and fishing in the Outer Banks. but he's a husband now and a dad. From all appearances he is a wonderful husband and dad who loves his family so very much. So today, we want to wish our son the happiest birthday and many, many more. Have a great time next week with your family as you enjoy your vacation. We love you.

I told you he was a dad and a good one at that.

He could be fishing, instead he's making sure Marshall gets his toes wet.
And Dylann has was water for her sand castle.

Of course there there was always time for fishing.

Enjoying a wedding where Ryann forgot her dress.

This good husband drove an hour to meet her mom so Ryann had the dress she wanted to wear.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE SON WE COULDN'T BE MORE PROUD OF TODAY AS WE WERE THE DAY YOU WERE BORN.

THANKS TO RYANN

From my previous post you know that I have been sick and not really able to see the children or take many pictures. Ryann did and posted them on facebook and I'm able to post them here. Thank You Ryann.

Have you ever seen a cuter little boy?
The family was in N.H. for Baby Walker's baptism for
Ryann's brother's youngest son and Ryann is his God Mother.

A good looking family.

Everyone loves a baby

COULD HAVE SHOULD HAVE

This is a week when I should have been able to have had an opportunity to take a lot of pictures. It didn't happen. Monday I was to the doctor after having just been there last Wednesday. At that point I had thrush, but was not getting any better. On Monday they did a strep test just to be sure and now I have strep. I have felt really bad this time and was unable to keep Marshall and Dylann on Tuesday. I don't even think I woke for much of the day. Wednesday Erin had asked us to watch Sydney because the babysitter was going on her daughter's field trip. Pappy met Erin half way and brought Sydney to our house with direction not to hug or kiss Nana. Then headed back to Erin's around 2 so the could pick up Tayler from school and he then watched them until their Mommy was home from work around 5. Thursday is our normal day for Sydney, but I wasn't making it in the morning so he headed back to Sydney's to take her to speech class. After class they had a few errands to do, had lunch and then came to our house to see if I felt like going back to see Tayler since they are leaving for the Outer Banks on Saturday. I had to push myself to do that because I could not imagine not seeing her for over two weeks. We will see Dylann and Marshall this week before they head for the Outer Banks the following week. We don't go until September with our family this year. I am not wishing summer away, just to go to the beach. Time goes to quickly as it is. Some where along the line someone should have pictures for me of all of our kiddo's playing in the sand and swimming. Here are a few I took of Sydney while she was at my house on Wednesday. I was laying on the couch and she was playing on the floor. She got into having a few pictures taken so this is what we have. What a silly little girl.

She was done having her pictures taken and decided to have the bears taken instead.
For some reason she wanted her elbow up in the air. Go figure.

Surrounded by her piano and a tea set. Yes she was cold too, so she needed the cover.

For just coming to Nana's to visit she was dressed as she would be going to church.

Another one of our silly girl.

A little more of the same.
