Grandson Playing Flag Football Fall 2012

Well the oldest grandson is playing flag football this fall.  I think he really enjoys it but sometimes I think he wants to tackle.  He forgets occassionally to run around the other team as to running through them where they often pull his flag.  Bummer - but he is having fun!  Blessings to all!

Bucket List Creations

Well not sure how they might sell, but I have created a few bucket list frames to sell at the church bazaar.  Am I just really with it or what! Had fun but glad I am done with this project.  Now I hope to make some birdhouses to go along with these for the church bazaar.  Is that bazaar or what!

Grandkids at our House!

We had a great time with the grandkids at our house and boy did they get tired out. I think they both went to sleep right away. They are the best two boys I know and I wish everyone had such great grandkids.

Morris Christmas Gathering 2011!

Had 36 folks here for Morris Christmas gathering and we had fun. We did a cookie/candy exchange and did it dirty Santa style. I think all had fun and we sure had enough food, probably could have fed the neighbors as well. No matter weather was great so kids could go outside and I think that is part of what made it so fun. Daughter and future son-in-law were able to come from Iowa and son, wife, and grandkids stayed for us to have our family Christmas gift exchange. I think it was great and I really enjoyed all.

Eskimo Joe Lights on Patio!

Received Eskimo Joe lights for Christmas from daughter and future son-in-law and I hung them today. Can't believe it took me so long, but no matter it did. I guess that is the advantage of retirement, you do things whenever you want to. I like them and I put them on a timer so they should come on when dark and stay on for 4 hours, assuming the timer works correctly. I just love them!

Snow at Stillwater in January 2012!

Hey, we had snow in January 2012 here in Stillwater and it was fun, not too much and did not last long. It did not even hinder travel about town and really was not too cold, although it was a bit windy. Seemed to cover stuff a bit and really looked cool so to speak.

GRANDSON AND BASKETBALL!

Have really enjoyed watching Grandson play basketball. He really shoots pretty good considering the goal is 8 feet up in the air. He did this at the North OKC YMCA and I think he had a bunch of fun. The amount of play was kind of short, but no matter Papa had to be there as much as he could. Even got to see the youngest Grandson part of the time. I think he wanted to be on the court and play ball as well, but he be just a bit small for the other guys and gals. Anyway enjoy the pictures.

Stillwater+ Methodist Men at Cross Point Camp

Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday - Movember 14-16, 2011 a few guys went to Cross Point camp at Lake Texoma to do some repair work. I had a great time and it looks like the others did as well. This was good for me to see what kind of stuff is expected as it has been a long time since I did such mission work. The Camp looks great and it was neat to see it as I had never been to that camp before. God Bless!

Fall Soccer in Oklahoma City-October 2011!

Been traveling ot OKC to see Grandson play soccer and watch youngest Grandson run around. It is a lot of fun but seems like the games are really short, 30 minutes at max. Well, it is still fun and I really like getting to see them as often as we can.

Grandkids August 6 & 7, 2011!

Kept the two grandkids part of this last weekend. We had fun and I think they did also. The youngest likes chasing his brother and tickling him. He can do it over and over and over and over and over, well lets just say he does not tire easily. The youngest was good for the many changes as us grand parents are not as fast as mom or dad. This was a great delight for us to have time with them great boys.

Grandson Playing T-Ball in OKC!

Our Grandson, Trent, seems to enjoy playing TBall in OKC. I think he really likes being in the center around the pitcher's mound as he gets more action. It has been so hot that some games have been cancelled so pray for relief from the heat and rain as well because it is just way too dry. Coach trys to give Tent some pointers and brother just looks on wishing he was out there as well!

Our trip to Utah, Idaho, Wyoming, Montana, the Tetons, and Yellowstone!

We had a great trip to Utah to hear the Morman Tabernacle Choir, see the Beehive House, the 2002 Winter Parks Olympic site, the Grand Teton Mountains, Jackson Hole, West Yellowstone, and of course Yellowstone itself. We probably spent too much but had fun seeing wildlife, shopping, seeing a play of "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers", and just relaxing in a cool climate. Coming back to hot Oklahoma was not so great, but we are glad to be home. If you have not visited Yellowstone I would recommend it, although going early or late in the season may be best due to potential long lines to drive through the park.

Morris Summer Reunion at Keystone Lake, June 2011!

Just a note to say all went well at the Morris Reunion this year. Weather was a little hot, but other than that and a little rain all went well. I think we must have had over forty folks. It was great and I hope all enjoyed it as much as we did. Enjoy the pictures!
