visit

My parents came to visit, and I didn't take any photos of them.

But I did take photos of my grandchildren when they

came to see them.

Here is Hunter.

Sammie, Ashleigh, friend Sara and Hunter

Christian and BReaunah's Spring Concert

Christian and Breaunah were in a spring concert at school singing and

giving facts about ocean life.

Here is Breaunah.

Christian is in the front row in blue.

Molly's Advanced Choir Concert

This first photo is not actually her concert-- it is her new hair color and cut.

I like it.

OK this is her concert last night. She is in the back row,

third from left.

The concert was all the middle schools in town.

They all did really well.

A closer up photo.

Photos of the group.

Still third from the left.

Saturday I went with my grandchildren to an Easter egg hunt-- but I forgot to take the camera along. 11,000 eggs and 200-300 children, it was amazing.

Sunday the Russell family gathered in the rec center where I live for dinner. There were 11 adults (ok people over 13) and 10 children.

This is Breaunah, Ashleigh, and Sammie ready to eat,

where's the food?

Grandma Doris and baby Dale go for a walk.
He's on the go, but not quite ready

to let go of the hands yet.
Christian, Nick, and Breaunah enjoy the ducks and fish from the bridge.
Sammie digs in. So much food!
Sammie and Hunter enjoyed sitting at the little table.
Baby Dale digs in!
Hunter enjoys cake.
After dinner the party moved to my house where the grandchildren
enjoyed finding eggs inside and out, despite the rain.
Christian finds one out of reach.

Each of the grandchildren got a box of fun stuff including

these funny hats for the girls.

Hunter and DJ relax after all the hard work fo finding eggs.
The girls pose with their hats: Breaunah, Sammie and Ashleigh.
Christian found the coveted Silver grand prize egg.
Baby Dale found the Golden Egg! Way to go!

Dale's Tulips

These are some of the 100+ bulbs Dale bought and friends planted for us. Mostly tulips but a few daffodils and hyacinths. As you can see, they are all colors and shapes. He left me a beautiful reminder of himself.











I think these are my favorites of all the tulips.

Janis' visit in January

My friend Janis came to visit me in January, I am finally getting the pictures on here. The first is the view from our room at the Driftwood Inn. It was the best place! If you ever visit Newport you should stay there.














This was Janis' first trip to see the Pacific ocean.














This is Janis in our room. The theme was lighthouses.

This is the view from inside our room. It was truly an amazing, relaxing time.

Is it Halloween????

Wow, I am finally getting around to posting photos. Here are photos of us on Halloween.

This one is Baby Dale sleeping in his lion costume before we went to the mall to trick or treat.

This is Breaunah trying on my wig.

This is Ashleigh in red, Samantha in blue, and Hunter as Elmo.
