Happy Birthday Wilson!!!

Today our youngest son turned 18....

...and his only request was for a donut ...

...for breakfast....

...sigh.

Hi from Shasta

Thanks Kelloggs and Derrs!

(and I especially love the photo of Steph in the spa:)

Thanks Nancy!

I asked for a family photo...

....I think we hit the jackpot!

....thanks also to Andy, Nick and Grace...and Dobby :)

From Nate

...and he made the sign!

Write to Our Son!

BTW...Sam LOVES getting mail, he mentions it every time he writes. In his last letter, after talking about what a morale boost it was to get mail (how did you survive Mike?) he said, "You guys can write more if you want." (and we send something just about every day :)

Just sayin'

ps. I erased the actual address, let me know if you need it again. (not sure why but I didn't like having it up there).

This is how it's done!

Thanks to our good friends the Newmans!

Hi Sam Project

Hey Everybody....I have a job for you all. Stop whining, it'll be fun.

I want to send Sam some pics of the family but thought it would be even more personal if they included a message with them.

So, get out your pens and paper (or glitter and glue guns) and get to work. The message should be simple......

....I love just the Hi/Hey Sam in these... but with a specific identifyable location (like say Mt. Shasta in the background...hint hint) or in a funny pose, or in a pool (hey Mike)....be creative.

You can either email them to me so I can print them up or do it yourself if you want to include them in a letter to Sam (I'll send you his address).

Thanks!

Happy 4th!

Just thought you might all like to see what Sam (the future Army Ranger) was doing last 4th of July....waiting to see the fireworks from our roof :)

ps. replace the roof with our living room, the chair with our couch,

Sam with Brad (and Dad), and fireworks with the Iron Man movie

and that pretty much sums up this years celebration.

(and the reason I didn't bother taking a photo :)
