#15 is........................





Due in January - #15 is a boy!!! His name is Asher James. Parents Jacob and Mandi are sooooooooooo excited and we are too! Wondering what color hair this little guy will have. Mom's hair is naturally almost white while dad has dark hair and mom's siblings have red hair. Hmmmmmm. Any bets on this one?

More of our vacation.......

Forgot to grab my camera when we were with #3 so I stole this off her fb page! She is Serina's oldest.


Here is #11 (Todd's daughter) - beautiful girl but the smudge on her nose is from our dirty van - she was trying to see inside - I didn't realize how dirty the van was until I saw her nose!!!




Here are Ty's two - #8 and #6 in the back of our van. We're on our way to a trumpet lesson for #8 and girl's camp for #6.






Candy with her mom Betsy. We had such a good time that we went back again on our way home!








Here is #9, Serina's daughter (above) & #10 , Trent's daughter (below) at Cape Disappointment. They wanted me to bury them in the sand but I had them dig the holes first!










3 of Serina's girls #5, #9, & #7. Growing up way too fast!!!

Retirement............ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh..........

Retirement didn't come soon enough but once it did we took off to visit friends and family up north. Here is a picture of #13 all dressed up with no place to go. Notice the mitten on his right hand. Hmmmmm.


Here #12 tries on her new hat which was a gift from her great grandma. You can see #13 in the back with his new red hat - note: one size does NOT fit all.




And #14 is quick to take off his new hat from great grandma. Had to snap a quick picture for her.






Dau family reunion with two of my cousins (sisters Dawn & Bev). We used to have some wild tea parties as kids. I grew up with two brothers and a neighborhood full of boys so this was a real treat for me!




More pictures coming soon.
