Bye Jan and Haley!!!!

We are beginning to recover from the busy week or so of family gatherings and reunions here in Indiana and I haven't been very good about writing a blog.  Here's picture of my Mom with my family members.

This is our eight Grandchildren

In order of age: Haley, Kristen, Carter, Kyra, Kara, Collin, Ty and Cooper.

Our oldest son, Todd with his daughter, Haley.

Second son, Jeff and his wife, Rachel and their kids, Kristen, Kara and Ty.

 

Our daughter, Tana and her husband, Barry and their children; Carter, Kyra, Collin and Cooper.

 It's always fun to say, "OK, be goofy".  Kristen fell on the ground just after this picture.

There's been drama and family fun and people coming and going from the airport. Tana's family drove back to Colorado last Tues.

Today my cousin, Jan, left to go back to Arizona.  This is Jan with her mom (my Aunt Rosie).

This is my aunt's beautiful garden that her girls planted for her.

Our oldest grand child, Haley, also headed back to CA.  We so enjoyed seeing her and getting to spend some time with her.  She is a very sweet girl.  I took Mom by Todd's place today to say goodbye.

Haley, Todd and Mom

I took Mom to see her niece and great niece this morning, but we rested this afternoon and then were invited over to Jeff and Rachel's for supper and some tree trimming.

This is Jeff up in the tree.  The chain saw wouldn't start so he used a hand saw and a sawzall as Craig and I tied off a rope to help keep the limbs from falling on the pool or on Jeff.

I didn't take a picture of the final product because it was getting dark.

It's amazing how green things are here in Indiana for August.  Normally they have had some 100 degree days and the yards are burned pretty badly.  It's been in the 80's and really very pleasant with only a few high humidity days.

 We will be here until Aug 21st. So the rest of our time we hope to visit with old friends.

Blessings,

Kathy
