MERRY CHRISTMAS

It's been a month since we added things. Last night was Vicky's side of the family Christmas @ Val & KCs. Lisa; Steve, Gina & the kids; Robbin & Dennis; Kyla & Derrick; Jon, Amber & son + 1/2; Jessica, Chad & the boys & us made it.

Today was Ken's side at our house, since Ken was working. G&G, The Postels & The Halseys made it. Of course Hunter & Ian got the most. Ian decided that Papa Jack was his friend today. At times Papa, little grandma & nana were ditched. He knew what he was doing as when he wouldn't come to us he smiled & laughed.

Andrea & Tiff called to make the day. It would be nice to send some of this cold & snow out to them, just to bring back old times.

This is short as it was a very long day & Vicky has collaped with her blanket in her chair, with a smile on her face.

Nov. 23

Well after a several days of the blogger site telling us that our e-mail address did not exist & wouldn't let us in, a belated HAPPY THANKSGIVING --- GO PACKERS --

We went to Brenda & Jasons for dinner G & G were there and grandma was walking without a cane. Ken's jealous as grandma is up walking around alot faster then he ever made it.

Thanksgiving night we watched Hunter & Ian, so Jessica & Chad could hit Black Friday. Ian had a rough night & was up and down all night. (so was Vicky)

Of course we had cameras but they stayed in their case and no photos were taken at the dinner nor when the kids were over. Kens slipping.

Until next time :)

Exciting week

What a week - our oldest hit her 1st anniversary of her 29th birthday & our youngest finally hit 21. We went out to eat @ Applebees & she ordered her drink. Of course I commented that it was her 21st birthday, so the waitress kind of looked up & said sorry I'm going to need to see your ID. You would think that she would have it in hand to show off, but no, find the purse, get it out & then show it.

Well anyway. HAPPY BIRTHDAY GIRLS. and since we didn't have the blog up & running for Tiff - HAPPY belated BIRTHDAY.

Grandma is up & running, OK she's up and moving with the walker. Our little birdie has been letting us know hows she doing & her exercises (thanks grandpa)

It's VETERANS DAY: A BIG THANK YOU to grandpa for his past service to the country & Jarrod for his current service. Also to all the other in the services.

One of these days maybe we will be able to post photos again

Perils of growing up

Still having fun after 60 yrs of marriage

Grandma's surgery went good. They told us 1 1/2 - 2 hrs & they were done in 1 1/4 hrs. Hopefully things just went good & the surgeons weren't having a contest at that time to see who could finish 1st. PT hooked her up to a machine that automatically bends her knee. After effects of the surgery & the pain meds must have been kicking in. She woke up for them to put the machine on & back to sleep. She should be home by the week-end. Thanks for the prayers.

Finally

Well apparently 1st thing in the morning is the time to do photos. I tried for two hours last night & only one would download. This morning I tried it & they all worked.

We had the boys Saturday night. Sunday morning before church Ian enjoyed the Jumperoo & Hunter is usually glued to his mat, that has a town with roads. Pretty soon we will have to get a couple more mats for all the trucks, cars, planes & helicopters that he uses with it. If you look at his photo remember this is Iowa. Even the barns are moving to town to get away from the hog lots.

Also the boys smile at grandma, even when grandpa has the camera.

Time for catch up

Well I am still having problems with photos, but I forgot we don't have to post photos for everything. So here's an update of what's going on.

1st: It's a sad day here. The camper was put in the back yard. Yep, camping season is over for us & time to winterize the camper. Also time for the boat to go into storage. (Got it out of storage, hurt my leg, and only had it out for one week-end. For those that hadn't heard. For our 30th anniversery, I took Vicky on a cruise. Had her get in the boat & we cruised around the lake. Well when she married me she knew.... maybe we won't go there). (Of course the boat is a 9' 3 man fishing boat, powered with a trolling motor)

2nd: If we can put mom (grandma) Yeomans from Iowa Falls, in our thoughts and prayers. She has knee surgery on Tuesday. & Yes Sue I did return the ice water cooler to her. (A great invention. A Coleman cooler (you fill with water & ice) with a water pump and tubing that goes to a velcro covering that has bubbles (like the packings that you would pop before throwing the away). It circulates the cold water & what a RELIEF it is to reduce pain.

3rd: If you read Tiff's blog on Oct 10th, you saw we lost a good friend to cancer. When we were clogging (no it's not with wooden shoes) Vicky had met this gal, CeCe. She told me I would like her she was funny & didn't take crap from anyone. Well I met her & then my first impression was I didn't have a chance as she was just like Vicky, but maybe a little more vocal. A great gal that we will miss very much, but will never forget.

4th: I have been back to work for just over two weeks now. I had some encouraging words Friday. A friend asked if my knee would just go out when walking and would feel like I was going to fall and I told him yes. He then said it should go away in about a year. Only 7 months to go and winter is fast approaching.

Sunday 09-30-07

Well Hunter & Ian get the first photo post. This was a smaller size photo, so I will try off & on with different photos to see what works & what doesn't. If you can't read lips, Ian's response is no more photos _FOOD. Hunter uses a new angle on the punching bag.

The start

In trying to keep up with the kids and other family members, we've decided to start the Iowa connection for Grandpa & Grandma Yeomans, us and Jessica, Chad and the boys until they get up and running.

I tried to put on some photos, but they keep on getting rejected. So hopefully sometime photos will be appearing.

Green Bay

How's this for a parking spot. Well Thursday I will try some different photos & see if I can get them downloaded.
