Four Generations

We had a fun visit with grandma and grandpa Shular as they stopped over on their way home from a short stay in North Carolina and various other places in between. We got together on Sunday and Monday. While grandkids, and greatgrandkids were together we decided to take some four generation pictures. It was lots of fun to have grandma and grandpa here.

A Boy and a Box






When a boy and a box meet, what do you get? Lots of fun. A few weeks ago Carl asked if we had a box so he could make a tractor. I didn't know what a tractor was so I just watched. He cut out the ends of the box and creased it every 12 inches or so and then you just roll along with it.








The boys had lots of fun! And we girls just sat back and wondered. Do they ever grow up?

Back from vacation

Well, we're back from our vacation. It was filled with interesting things like garlic chocolate (I'd advise you not to try it, it may ruin your reeses peanut butter cup friendship) at the Garlic festival. As most of you know we had quite a scare. Carbon lost his wallet. We had to hurry and cancel the credit cards, but as there was an honest person who found it, we were able to get it back. We also spent a nice day at the Gilroy Gardens amusement park. Shelby didn't want to go on the roller coaster, but grandpa helped her by telling them to slow the ride down. Of course they did, so she was able to enjoy the ride. (They really didn't, but she thought they did). We had fun visiting Amy and the family, and then we spent a few days visiting my parents. It was so hot, Carly was the only one to go swimming. I thought about it, but just wanted to do something else. And we won't have to bore you with all the pictures we took, because we forgot the camera.
