My Birthday and Avery singing with the children's choir at I.H.C.


We were going to leave before they sang, but Avery wanted to stay and sing. He is shy, so we were proud of him!


This is at Red Lobster on my B-day. Avery with his cheddar biscuit.


Me and my silly little Preston!

Pictures from I.H.C.


Avery making a silly face!


Preston has to be like his big brother!


I was glad to see Joanna and her boyfriend, Ryan at I.H.C. He was home from Iraq for 18 days. Ryan, thanks for all your doing to keep us a free country!


Avery with his cousin Janae.

The one day they were here, we went t0 Chuck E. Cheeses. Pa Doug kept Preston. He is scared of Chuckie. Avery loves him.


Josiah is growing and sure looks like his daddy!


Here is Avery, Michaela, and Preston. Michaela is to busy playing to look at Auntie Jill.

Booth Brothers and Legacy Five

Tonight, Carl and I get to go to a concert, with The Booth Brothers and Legacy Five. Great Aunt Carol Ann is watching the boys. We plan to enjoy ourselves without wiggly little boys. We do not leave them much, so I am sure I will be ready to get home.

It has been busy around here. I will try to post pictures of I.H.C., my B-day, and when my sister-n-law Heather was here soon. We have also went to Carol Ann's 6oth Birthday party and met up with Ellen and her two boys, but I was bad and did not get any pictures.

Happy Birthday Jill

Today, is my wife's birthday. This is her last birthday in the twenties!! Happy Birthday Jill. I love you!!!



While looking for a picture to post, I came across this one and it seemed to be just right. It probably looks like it was taken today, for her birthday. But, it was actually taken back in January while she was taking a cake decorating class.

Easter Pictures


This is a picture of the flooding in Shoals, over Easter. It is a basketball goal and shelter house.


Our boys on Easter!


Here they are opening their Easter gifts.


This is after their egg hunt. Avery found the most! The advantages of being the oldest! (We had their egg hunt the weekend after Easter).


Look at my colored hands!

Easter, revival, and a new niece

Easter weekend we spent at my Mom and Dad's. They were having flooding, while back here in Michigan, we received twelve inches of snow. We came home Sunday night, then started our revival. Carl, had mentioned we were in revival. Brother Harry Plank is a great speaker.

Congratulations to my brother Eric and sister-n-law Judith. They had their daughter on March 27th. Isabella Brook. They are calling her Bella. She is welcomed home by big brothers: Luke, Ty, Clay, Blaine, Cade, and sister Gracie.

This past weekend Carl's brother Chad and family was here and we got to meet our new niece Tirzah. She was so cute and smiley. I now have fourteen nieces and nephews. Nine nephews and five nieces.

Well, I will try to post Easter pictures soon!
