State Fair and Kevin's Twenty Fifth Birthday

Kevin loved the Ferris Wheel more  than anything this year.

It was a hot day and Kevin wore his USA shirt and hat.

This horse was nearly the last one, but kevin liked  what he saw.

One of Kevin's pigs was sleeping with his tongue out - cute !

Kevin ate a hot dog, curley fries then went home to watch a movie.

Kevin's 25th Birthday was happy.  He loved his new book.

Kevin really noticed and loved his cards.  He took out and loved Katy's family picture.

Kevin loved the card from Charlotte & Olivia.  Thank you!

Kevin put the candles on his cake and loved to eat some. Yum!

Dad helped blow.   Our neighbors came for fireworks.  Happy 25th Birthday Kevin!!!

Cammy's baptism, Andrea's Birthday, Grandpa's Flowers

We were happy to attend Cammy's baptism in August

The beautiful and talented Andrea also celebrated her birthday by doing all the driving and cooking her own dinner.  Blake
brought home a delicious cake and grandma and grandpa did the dishes.  Happy Birthday Andrea!

Eddy, Johanna, Cammy and Logan had fun in the snow and enjoyed looking at the lake.

Everyone decided that the best view was from this side of the rock wall!

Grandpa Hoth keeps the flowers looking their best with lots of water and time.  Just see the results!

Uncle Kevin's fun outing

Uncle Kevin loves to have fun, so what can he share with his adorable nephews and neices?

Let's all have a fun trip around Petco!

The farrets sat right up and took notice of kevin.  He liked looking at them also.  Thankfully, we did not bring one home.

Next we visited the mice.   They were so busy and adorable.  Kevin loved watching them.

We noticed a man who bought about twelve darling little mice.  I wonder what he was going to do with them?

We both loved the birds.  Kevin loves to see them fly about and eat their treats.

Uncle kevin loves the birds, and his beads, and his nephews and neices.

Ray and Kathleen's fun time at the beach June 2011

<>

We stayed on the same street as this beautiful beach house. 

Kaden loved the sun and sand.

Ray made a fun sand bench and colleacted rocks and shells.



Andrea took pictures of her sandy feet.

Andrea, Jennifer, and Katy went for a fun ride, the men went golfing.

Kathleen's medical vacation



While all my little bunnies were traveling in foreign places, watching movies, and having fun, Kathleen was enjoying her own kind of vacation.  



I don't know if you think this is funny but I surely do!   Twenty years ago, I would never have allowed this pose.



Is this better now?  Since I can't get the photo to turn around, you get to see that I might have lost some

dignity, but not my sence of humor.







Here is the subject with an oxygen tube.   Isn't she pretty?  Thank you for all your love and flowers.

Some sage advice from grandma Kathleen

"Love doesn't make the world go 'round.  Love is what makes the ride worthwhile."
...Franklin P. Jones

Love is forever

Just give a boy a good tractor and a sunny day!
