Happy Birthday Papa Great!

On Sunday we had my family over to celebrate my dad’s birthday. Will, Max and Levi were so excited that everyone was coming to their house to play! They had so much fun playing with Hunter, Baylen and Colton. And it was especially nice that they all played well and the adults were able to sit upstairs and watch football while the boys all played downstairs. Here is a picture of my dad with all the grand kids except Max. He was not feeling well and fell asleep.

When Max woke up we got a picture of him and Papa Great! Poor thing looks miserable!

This is a picture of the cake I made my dad!

Petty Christmas!

The past few year’s Dale’s family has gotten together to celebrate Christmas in January. Things are less hectic and it’s easier for all of us to be there together. The Petty Christmas was this past Sunday. We had a really nice time. The boys loved playing with all of their cousins and since it was at their Grandma and Grandpa’s they thought they ruled the roost! We managed to get a picture of all the great-grandkids except for Cayden who was sleeping and baby Stitt (well because he/she is still in Megan’s belly)! This is the best we could do with 8 kids!

Snow Day!

So when the boys woke up to snow last Thursday they were ecstatic! Max said "Daddy working scooping snow." Levi said "Daddy scooping the snow up on his big plow and dump it into his dump truck". Will said "Hehehehehehe Snow"! There was no way I would get them back to sleep now. They were ready to go play in the snow at 6:00 a.m. Unfortunately for them, that was a day I worked last week. On Friday morning they had school and then it is was lunch and nap and off to butcher at my Grandparent's house. I felt so bad that they had not had a chance to play in the snow so I loaded the kids up in their snow gear. When we got to my Grandparent's they went crazy. They didn't care that it was 20 degrees and the wind was blowing like crazy, they loved the snow so much! The pictures I took turned out very blurry (probably because I was shivering), but here are a few that were ok. Hopefully we get more snow this year because the boys loved it so much!

All 6 of my parent's grand kids were playing on the Gator while we were butchering so I tried to snap a picture. As you can see Dale graced his presence as well!

A Nice Winter's Day!

It's not very often we get 70 degree weather on a January day so Friday we decided to go for a bike ride! We rode our bikes down to Main Street, got an ice cream and brought it to Frontier Park, played for a while, and then rode our bikes back home. It was so much fun and great to get outside!
