Michael and the grandkids

Amanda has been sick with pneumonia the past week so we have had the children until Tyler comes home. One day our Son Michael stopped by and played with the three youngest - Paige, Carson and Mason and they had a ball wrestling, playing with quarters he gave them and just having fun. He wore them all out so Carson and Mason took a nap afterwards - so fun have a fun uncle!

Happy Birthday, Dan!!

Happy Birthday, Dan!! What a wonderful Son, Dad, Husband and so much more! You have brought us so much joy and happiness and love the things you do with your own family. We wish you a terrific birthday and send you our love!

Mardi Gras Dance with Rachel's Girl Scouts

This was a the patch Malcolm got at the dance

Malcolm and I drove to Napa Saturday to spend some time with Brian, Deb, Rachel and Matt. Rachel invited Dad to a "Favorite Fellow" dance for Girl Scouts with a Mardi Gras theme. Before they left, we all went to a very delicious Italian Dinner House for dinner and everyone had Salmon, but me. I love it, but the plates were too large for me to finish it all. It was beautiful land built in the midst of vineyards with interesting sculptures and gardens where they grow the vegetables they cook. Anyway it was fun. Then Malcolm and Rachel went to the dance and Malcolm showed Rachel some interesting dance steps and they had a blast! While they were gone, we watched a movie and had some Coldstone ice cream - my favorite with berries. Thanks to Brian and Deb for a terrific evening. We were tired when we got home, but it was so worth it!

A Visit with Grandma Eastland

I borrowed this picture of my Mom with Amanda's children - thanks to Amanda. She had a visit and family home evening with Dan and Amanda's children and had such a good time and wonderful memories of all the children and their enthusiasm.
