I just looked at this blog after what, three years!!!  :)  A lot has happened including a new grandchild who is 15 months old and a new grandchild to be born in April 2013!! 

Don't forget the new daughter-in-law, Megan, married to Paul, Sept. 1st, 2012!

Latest pictures are still on the camera.  Oops!  :O  Check back later.  :)

Family Photo Updated

With more planning this year, our family photo is a little more lively than last years. :)

Meeting Henrik James Johnson

Time out from playing for a few cartoons at Grant's house.

We meet Henrik for the first time when he was 7 hours old. October 31, 2009

Laurel and Grant entertained each other while we visited with baby Henrik and parents!

My favorite for this batch of pics.

I wish the blogs would go from top to bottom when they are posted. I'll figure out how to post a story yet so it goes in the right order. :)

Here is my flower garden visitor. Monarch Butterfly on Tiger Lily flower.

Well, I sat outside with the camera waiting for the hummingbird to arrive.

So I took some pictures in general. Then arrived a bee or two or three.

But as you see, I wasn't able to catch one on camera.

And the hummingbird never did show during that time. Check the top posting to see what did arrive. Well, I guess you have already seen my butterfly. It comes everyday.

Laurel Walking! July, 2009

Of course, I cannot post on the Blog without at least one grandchild picture. We had the fun of watching Laurel for a couple of days in July. She did so well, and we laughed so much! :)

Great Grandma Grace was here also and she kept an eye out for Laurel when I was busy. Laurel is very quick when she wants to get somewhere or something!!

The Rocks at the Farm.

The Rocks got a fresh coat of paint. This time painting in the flowers and leaves. Now the garden will bloom all seasons! We were on our way out and I took the pics from the car. Next time I will take pics of Grace's Garden and the Gaelic names on the other side.

Latest batch of babies.

Well the last batch is about to fly off. Perhaps I will take down the birthing baskets so we can clean the porch!!! :)

They are cute to watch though.

Grandchildren!

Here they are, the most talented and all of my grandchildren!(for now)

I tried to fix the pictures, but couldn't edit them somehow?


Summer of 2009, 12mths and 18 mths old, Laurel and Grant.

Sorry about the side vision.

They did well together.

Summer 2009 visits to the farm

First year, first apple of Wealthy apple tree, 2009
Yellow rose bush, first year, 2009

Can you match the notes to the pictures?

Our resident eagle.

How much wood can a woodchuck chuck? He played for awhile outside the barn.

The corn did grow. Will they produce cobs? We'll see.

The morning fog was great over the field.

These pictures are from two different visits to the farm this summer.

Laurel 1st birthday party

We were delighted to attend our granddaughter Laurel's 1st birthday party! Here are some pics we took with Great Uncle Ander's camera.

First Play, 2009

Well, the first play went pretty good. Here are some pics. It was fun and a learning experience for all.

This was a dress rehearsal performance. Some costumes were not complete.

More pics!

Bird Sanctuary on 910's porch

Time Flies!

The families start arriving on the 18th of June, 2009 with Carol and Dan's first. Then Rick and Petra will arrive on the 19th. Now the Dale and Mary family live close by in Ford River! Anna and Jeff are coming the first part of July. When will Linnea and Kevin be here??? :)

We will miss Hans and Lindsey, but know that they are doing God's will and we pray for their safety and blessing.

I guess we can't get the whole family at one time, but we can get updated family pictures for this year.

My the year has gone fast and all these cousins will be pulling Uncle Ander's arm once again this summer.
