Grandpa's Funeral

This is the slideshow Jason and I put together of Grandpa!

Grandma kissing Grandpa

Caring the casket

 Grandma and her son Tom.

  Grandpa would ALWAYS wear skinny ties so the men wore his them in honor of him!

 Grandpa loved his apple trees, in fact he was called Grandpa Apple by the Great Grandkids.

 Military honors

Walking to the graveside.

 

Grandma and Grandpa had a son that died when he was 6 years old.  I think this is an amazing picture of Grandma at her sons graveside.

Grandma getting a flag and being thanked for him serving our country. 

Grandpa was in the Army and the Air Force.

We let go of yellow balloons for Grandpa.

 The girls with Grandma

 Mommy and Alex

 The boys did fairly good at the funeral considering their age, but they looked dang cute in their little ties!

Late, but still cute

We took pictures of putting up Christmas stuff and opening presents on Christmas day that we just barely took from our camera, they were shot in raw so we had to change them to jpg, so without further ado...

The boys helping put up the Christmas decorations.

Daddy and the boys

We had to wake up DJ Christmas morning to go open presents.  They were both not very happy about it!

After we got the boys off the floor, they were excited to open presents and see what Santa brought.

DJ and Alex first seeing the presents.

Opening their presents.

Alex's favorite thing was the candy cane filled with kisses!

 They loved their rocking bull that sings!

They also loved their microphones.

We had a very Merry Christmas!

Tubby Time

 Tubby time has been a struggle for me for awhile because for some unknown reason Alex didn't like it.  I tried everything I could think of to get him to enjoy it but nothing helped.  Finally tonight for no apparent reason Alex loved it, YAY!

 Kind of blown out but a cute picture of Alex playing.

 They were having a lot of fun with the toys.

 The boys showing their cute smiles!

 Splish, splash

 They had fun together!

 Getting clean

 It was so fun watching them have fun and play in the bath tub together!

 I have a nick-name for the boys: Skinny bones and Buddha belly.  Can you tell which one is which?

New Year's Eve

To start off New Year's Eve the boys and I went over to Grandma Alice's house.

Alex rocked out!

They played in the tub. This is the first time Alex actually enjoyed being in a tub.

Lookin' like a stud!

Grandma and Kurt

Alex and Mommy

Later we went over to Bret and Hilarie's house to eat and play games.  We had a great time!

Playing cards

Me and my Daddy!

The boys had fun playing with cousins!

Sticking out tongues!

New Year's Kissing

The Grandmas got pampered.

Shaileen and Me

 Spending time with family is a great way to end and start a new year!  Jason had to work so unfortunately he didn't get to come play with us.  I left before midnight, but stayed up at home and kissed my sleeping boys when the new year began.  We have been so blessed this past year and are looking forward to having another great year!
