Fun!.....I Forgot About......

I took these pictures but forgot to post them! (something about turning 40!)


Grandma Elsie and Trent playing Trouble and 'horsing around'. We are fortunate to have a spry Grandma...she can keep up with Trent. She always reminds me of her trip to Great America in CA. Her fun was on the roller coasters and the Demon Drop!

And that is Dad & Linda's new couch...isn't it beautiful!









Here's Grandma posing by Linda Lane's flowers.(the neighbor of Dad & Linda) She keeps a beautiful flower display!







Stud Muffin Steve.....just relaxing on our pontoon boat ride!

Linda cooked us up a fabulous dinner....Chicken on the grill, tater tots, fresh green beans (from G-ma Bonnie's garden) watermelon & deviled eggs. It was delish!! Dessert was Lemon Meringue Pie and Blue Moon Ice Cream!








Here is the rest of the crew.

Dad & Linda bought a pontoon this spring, so we have enjoyed coming over and taking a ride around the lake!









Falcon Update......


The Falcon has taken up roost at the painters! (funny aren't I?)
Last Saturday Steve & the boys took the body for a ride. Barney is going to paint it soon. I'm not sure what the end color will be? I voted for black...it might remain the original blue?
Steve & the boys have spent MANY hours at Barney's sandblasting the body the last week. The more hours they put in, the less $$ we pay for a paint job!!!
This was suppose to be a car for Tyler to rebuild/drive....I'm think, I'll be riding in some parade in it!
It's a 62 Ford Falcon 2 door. Steve bought it on eBay and has housed it in our garage the last couple of months...so it's good to see that spot open up! I will post pictures after the paint job...it will take a month or more!

A Sunday Picnic...

Some of the tree monkeys The gang eating

All the kids... 13 in case you are counting!

Troy on the state of Michigan We were able to have a fun Sunday afternoon picnic with long time friends the Snyders and the Glidewells. The Glidewells were passing through for a short time before moving to Florida. They are missionaries in training. They were from the Kent City area before they felt called to the mission field. We are always excited, intrigued and blessed to see how God is using and moving them! They are a wonderful family to know....we are blessed to call them friends! Their blog is very interesting if you want to check it out! glidewells.blogspot.com

Angela thanx for bringing Mom along so we could meet her! She is a wonderful mom and grandma to your kids!

We visted at a park in Jenison that had a huge wooden play place and a map of the US in the grass. All the states were cut out, large rivers were present and mountain ranges were also included. I couldn't get a shot of the whole thing, so we settled for Michigan.

A fun time for all
