The Birds "A Family In Flight"

John and Jo's family has all flown the coop. The proud grandparents of 23 grandchildren still reside in Stockton, but often migrate across North America tending their flock.

Christmas Exchange

THEME: Games

We will be doing a random draw this week to find out who's family to buy for. It can be board games, computer, yard, video, sporting games, etc. Anything you think your persons family would love. No money limit, but don't break the bank. Isaac will not be included in this exchange, but everyone needs to send him some love. He needs lots of it.

Also I would like everyone to think about next years schedule and compare notes with all of us to chose a date for our Family Reunion. We need to be together, too much has happened since we all were together last.
More updates to come. Love ya.

Blessing Day


There were 3 blessings in the ward today and we were the last. She was fussing through the other 2, but made it through hers and sacrament fine. Then it was out the door, I'm hungry. Peter gave a nice blessing and it was a beautiful day. Darrell, Anne and the 3 youngest came out Saturday for some leaf raking and trick or treatin. They left after sacrament meeting. I wish we all lived close together so we could have had you all here too. Marie is a such a sweet, smiley thing. At the 2 month check up she weighed 12lbs 3oz. Just perfect to cuddle and squish. Hope you all had a fun weekend.
We had to be to church early for me to meet with the bishopric. Now I am not a primary teacher. I am the 2nd councilor in the primary presidency. What fun!

Happy Halloween!





What georgious Autumn weather!
Thanks for letting us raid your costume chest Grandma.
James had us walking all over the neighborhood until Dallas fell asleep.  Then the 3 older kidos bribed him with "We'll give all our Reeses if you take us to some more houses."  It worked, so I'm watching the sleeping giraffe and passing out the candy.  Halloween sure is fun around here.  I don't know how many full sized candy bars they've gotten already.
Hope you have an enjoyable evening!!!

More of the Girls

Just calm and enjoying the sun while the big girls take a nap.



This is Marie's favorite position in the afternoon. We need to work on burping at night so her tummy is not so upset during the day.











Maren and Lily never seem to get enough of sweet little Marie. Everywhere I put her they find a way to come give more loves.
