Honoring Grandpa Clair

For the 2nd time in 4 weeks we had to say goodbye to a beloved grandparent... Unfortunately, Josh and Abby were not able to make it back for the funeral so Grandma asked us to record part of it to be sure they'd get a chance to see it.

Grandma said that it was always Grandpa's wish to have a military service... below is a video of the presentation of the flag with the gun salute and taps.

Baptism

Today was my baptism! The baptismal heater was broken so the water was quite brisk to say the least!!

A trip to Disney.... Again. =)

Mmmm good... My brat and kraut in Germany - it's a must every visit


Cinderella Castle - so pretty


I love the toy soldiers

The rain had got the best of us - so we went a little crazy

Oh yea... the hot light was on at Krispy Kreme!

This is just a taste of how packed it was after the big parade and fireworks at the Magic Kingdom - Crazy!!

The Castle is so beautiful when its covered with lights...It was a bit chilly this night.

We were fortunate enough to get to hear Steven Curtis Chapman tell the Christmas story during the Candlelight Processional at Epcot

Merry Christmas from Minnie!

The Osbourne Lights

The big cheese Mickey Mouse at Fantasmic

As always we had a wonderful trip down to my second home...it was a little chilly, but lots of fun. Another great mother daughter trip!

Recent stuff....

Here Daisy is anxiously waiting for Matt to get done with hanging the ornaments so that she can start rearranging them! If you see our tree in person - you'll note that the bottom is quite void of ornaments!


Mike just loves family time - especially pictures!


Dad carving up the birds... One from the oven and one fried!

The boys hard at work on our fried turkey

Just for Greg....

Greg, this post is just for you...it's a video from Hollywood Studios...the Osborne Spectacle of Lights...The Dancing Lights... sorry I missed it when they danced to TSO!

Vacation Pics to Follow!!

No...No...NO

That seems to be the just of our vocabulary since our new arrival entered our house. A more appropriate name for her would have been Chomper... lets say she's like a shark and explores with her mouth! She hasn't chewed up anything - just a bite and run kinda girl. That aside we can't wait to rush home at the end of the day to see this sweetie. Here are a couple of pics of my family on a lazy Sunday afternoon...

Newest Member of the Family!

We decided to adopt... another coon dog. We'd like to introduce everyone to Daisy, the newest member of our family. Grandma Pam and Grandma Joyce are so thrilled that they have a new granddoggie. We don't want any of you to be fighting over who gets to keep her when we go away. Her big brother Eddie is just a little bit jealous. He won't even stay in the same room with her... and when we put them together he won't even look at her.
