Happy 1st birthday to Miss Peightin Linn & 4th Birthday to Mr. Q

Wow, time does fly by. We celebrated Peightin's first birthday on December 8th and then Quintin's 4th birthday on December 13th. I made both of their birthday cakes this year, and loved every minute of it.

Then we also took the kids along with their big brother Aaron to visit Santa. Quintin was right at home on his lap, and even was "lounging" on santa's leg with his own legs crossed. Wish they would have gotten a picture of that. Peightin wasn't too sure of him, but did ok sitting on Aaron's lap. Afterwards she did walk around and "Love" on the Elf that was by Santa's chair.

Here is also a picture of Jenny's kids visiting the Santa at their place. Kinleigh didn't mind the jolly ole man, and this was the first year that Kai wasn't scared of him.

When Jen and family were down for Kinleigh's welcoming party, we went to 60 minute photo and had these pictures done. I loved how they turned out. It was quite a challenge with this many kids, and we did forget to get some of just Jen's kids together and Jared's kids together...oh well, there will always be other times.




















And finally...one of our Miss Kinleigh's first smiles

Til next time:

WELCOME Kinleigh ShaeAnn to the family!

I am sorry it has taken me so long to update you my little blog. I have been busy playing with grandkids and welcoming a new granddaughter into the family. Jennifer and Steven had a little girl on October 28th and she is a doll. Her name is Kinleigh ShaeAnn (my middle name is Ann) and she was born via emergency c-section at 9:50PM weighing 6 lbs 3 oz and was 18" long. She has a lot of black hair & is a very good baby. I went and alternated nights at the hospital with Steven, as they were there for 5 days. Due to the Swine flu outbreak, Jen was only allowed 2 visitors during her hospital stay. We did have Steven's mom and I there together briefly-so glad that we got pic's with the both of us and Kinleigh there. I will post more information and pictures later.

Fun at the ocean...

Jared, Tammy, Quintin and Peightin met us at our beach house the middle of September and we had a great time. It was the first time Jared had been over there since the house had been finished. They were last over there in Aug. 07. It was good weather part of the time and cloudy part of the time, but a fun time was had by all. I love spending time with my kids and grandkids and am so thankful for them.

Here are some pictures of the fun times we had while there-Not in any particular order...
