Cousin's Camp - a Trip to the Zoo

Cousin's Camp continued today with a trip to the zoo! We saw the elephants and giraffes and got to ride in a Safari Car! Grani, Papa, Aunt Christy, Aunt Ashley, Gibson, Haven, Hannah and Benjamin were today's Cousin Camp campers.Going to the zoo is very tiring. gibson played a computer game when we got home. I"m not sure how the game ended...Somehow we didn't get a good picture of Benjamin at the zoo, so here he is at home. What a smile!

Cousin's Camp!

This week is cousin's camp. Four of the five cousins will be in Whites Creek for a fun time with Grani and Papa. Gibson and Haven are staying the nights and Hannah nd Benjamin will be coming over most days.

Right now, Gibson and Haven are painting pictures on the new art easel at Grani and Papa's house. Unfortunately, Papa's camera is at his new church which isn't very close by. We'll get it later today when we go looking for a few things we need for Cousin's Camp. Then we'll be able to show you some beautiful art work and some really fun new toys. Tune in often this week for the latest news from Cousin's Camp.

Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha!

I've been a Papa for 5 years now and now I have some documentation to prove that I'm old.

Can you read the letters on the card? AARP! What a hoot! I feel like I'm about 35 - well, except for the knees... hmmm, and the eyes are kind of going... well and then there's - oh, never mind!

I think it's really funny that I'm an official member of AARP. Don't ask Grani about her card. She's not old enough for one (but she got one since I told them I was married)! Ha, ha, ha. She doesn't think it's at all funny!

Happy Birthday, Gibson!

Lots of love from Papa and Grani!

Benjamin makes the wall!

Poor baby. His picture has been sitting on the floor leaning up against the wall for months now. Look at that huge smile!

Two pretty babies and me in front of a sign.
I know those don't all really go together, but I'm on my way out to weed eat 3 acres. We finally got some rain and so now I have work to do.


Happy baby!


Busy baby!


New blog!

I have a new fun thing I've been doing lately. Well, it's fun for me. I've been taking my own picture. I just hold the camera out at arms length and click. You can see a whole set of those pictures of me with all the kids at my new church here http://hilldaleworship.blogspot.com/2007/06/wheres-waldo.html

Family night at FBC Joelton. Haven is in a white dress. Gibson is in a deep blue shirt.

Happy Birthday Papa!

Here are some of the people who were wishing Papa a Happy Birthday today. In case you were wondering how old(andI know he doesn't look old) here's a hint. His shirt is in honor of Hawaii 5-0.

A Picture Paints a Thousand Words

Gibson and Haven's Great Tennessee Adventure continues...

Gibson and Haven's Big Tennessee Adventure - Tuesday Edition

Here we are on the way to VBS!

Here they are mixing pre-VBS music on the fancy Yamaha digital sound board.

Posing outside our classrooms.

Papa at VBS.

After VBS we went to see Hannah and Benjamin and Aunt Christy.

Gibson and Haven's Big Tennessee Adventure

Gibson and Haven came to Tennessee with Grani and Papa! Today they went to Vacation Bible School at Papa's church. After VBS Papa took Gibson and Haven to Grani's work for lunch. While we were there Gibson askedGrani's boss if she could go home. He said, "yes", so Grani got to come home early.

Here is a picture of each of them with the things they made today at VBS.

Haven - this is Haven's words when asked about the picture "flower, paper, I made it"

Gibson said, "see my 20 home depot?, I made a flower and picture, Joseph"

That's all we could get from either one of them. They ran off to play.

Grani and Papa in San Antonio

Grani - as you probably know - doesn't like to have her picture made. However, Papa is tracking their big San Antonio adventure and thought the grandbabies might like to see pictures of Grani and Papa instead of the other way around. So... until Grani makes Papa take the pictures off, here they are. (and they turned out great for Papa just holding the camera out at arm's length and snapping the photo himself - if I say so myself)

On the river boat.

In front of the Alamo (after traveling alllllll day, so Grani thinks we look like rather road worn)

Riding on the trolley.

Grani being serenaded at supper.

Look at the bottom of my blog. I've added something new.

It's been a wild month. A lot has happened, so I haven't posted much. Here are some pictures of all five of our grandbabies together! We had so much fun!

Baby Slumber Party
The three baby grandbabies all spent the night Friday night! What a fun time! We wanted a picture of all three of them together, but they were never all three awake at the same time. Hannah had a fever of 102 and even up to 103.7!, so she slept a lot.
We did get some great pictures of Elam and Benjamin looking at each other. I kept wanting to sing "Ebony and Ivory".

A New Mailbox!

Easter with the grandbabies.

It was too cold to go outside and Hannah and her mom and brother had to miss church because she has been/is sick, so Grani and I went to their house for supper. We had a fun time picking up eggs. Benjamin is still a little too young to participate.

It was very windy, so we had to keep Benjamin's ears covered.
