Papa gets all the hugging time he can. He never says no!

Grandma got to hold her for inspection by big sisters.

Look out, world! Here I come, ready or not!

Busy Fall Activities in Beautiful Kansas

I wanted to share some of the beautiful places we've

been in our busy lives lately.

We live in such a God-blessed place.

We celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary with all our kids and grandkids home to visit. Thank you to our wonderful family.

Newest addition to our helpers is Patches, Randy's soon-to-be new cowdog! She will have to grow a little. Randy will have to get to work on her our she will be another pet for me. She's very lovable and smart. She keeps Jan company in the pen next door.

We just spent a big part of the weekend with Whipple family at Old Settlers Ness City 2010. Here are some pictures of family and fun.

A fun time by grandkids at Thanksgiving.

Fall in Illinois 2009

Time spent with Payton while Mommie took training in October 09. What a fun time we had exploring.

We had some fun time to relax together with Mommie too at Payton's home. Such a treasure.
