October Fun

 Yes, Folks, this is homegrown corn on the cob on October 12!  I really didn't think the second planting would mature, but the summer was hot, and I irrigated lots and lots.  We had corn everyday for about 10 days!

 

 It's a Saturday night at Grandma's and we're watching a video downstairs before bedtime.  Wait.....where's Tyler???

 

 Tyler was more interested in playing with "little people" instead of watching a video!

 

 Carly, Brian and Westin. 

 

 I made this jumper for Kayla while I was in Denver.

 

 Lisa and Ryan.  Ryan cooked lunch for our family on Sunday.  It was yummy....BBQ meat and veggies!

 

 Mr. Westin with his daddy!

 

 Jordy.....our little super hero!!  He's ready to take his mommy and daddy trick or treating.



Happy October!!

 I just loaded these pictures absolutely backwards, sooooo, we'll start with the most recent and work backwards!  Today is this little guy's daddy's birthday.  Happy Birthday, Brian!  Born 11:11 am in Pawnee City, Nebraska.  And this is Mr. Westin, just ready for the party to begin.

 

 Jonny is doing the babysitting time with Westin and Jordy.  Seemed to all be pretty happy for the moment.  Perhaps....just perhaps.....Jonny will get his cast off tomorrow!!

 

 Richard, Lisa, and Rebecca enjoying tacos.

 

 Bryan and Brian.  Happy Birthday, Brian!  #28!

 

 This is my poor knee after I wiped out on the driveway on Thursday.  My foot rolled, and so did the rest of my body.  Wow, it really did hurt!

 

 Last week Jordy and I accompanied Rebecca to Denver while she taught classes for the bank.  The first three days were beautiful and Jordy and I enjoyed a lot of outside time.

 

 On one of our stroller rides we passed these decorative rocks and I had a sudden "flashback."  This is for my sister Susanne.  Remember the trip to Colorado and we began picking up pretty, decorative rocks?  We got caught in a flood and spent three days in Lamar, Colorado, spending the nights in our car.  Every night Dad threw out a few more of our souvenir rocks!

 

 Beautiful 83 degree days!

 

 Over in the distance you could see the mountains.

 

 We were in Denver the week of the 1st presidential debate.  This is I-25 that was closed from 5-10:00 for security purposes.

 

 Checking into the motel.  Of course we couldn't make more than one trip.  It's all loaded on the cart....except for the sewing machine.  I hand-carried it!

 

 Now this is how you get down to business and tighten the base of a carseat!!

 Before we headed the Denver, we celebrated Dad's 97th birthday with him in DeSoto.  It was a special weekend and ALL 21 great-grandchildren were there.

 

Here are the three babies and their mommy's in our family:  Carly and Westin, Rebecca and Jordy, Freya and Emmy.

 

 Susanne, Marilyn, Dad, and I with his birthday cake.

 

 Dad commented several times, "Real nice afternoon!"  Yes, Dad, it really was!

 

 Richard and I with our 9 grandkids.  Being a grandparent is pretty grand!

 

 Ryan and Emmy. 

 

 It was pretty special seeing different ones spending some one-on-one time with Grandpa.
