Shelly and Mady

Coda, he is a wonderful dog that Donny and Shelly adopted him at the animal shelter. He is house broken, very calm for a 1 year old, and He is obedience trained. Everytime my son goes outside with Coda, if Coda even thinks that Donny is leaving, He jumps in the front seat of the jeep. The jeep has the doors and top off, so it is easy for him to jump in there. He loves Donny and follows him everywhere.

Mady and Amber

Mady here, not walking alone yet, but she is now.

My Birthday At Texas Roadhouse Grill

Amber started dance classes, and I had her to show off her dress and shoes. She loves her new class. She is also taking soccer lessons on Saturday.

Mady finally started taking a few steps. 13 months now. She is very cautious. She is quite a ham too. She loves to squint her face up and make funny faces.
Donny our son here, talking about his new business he is launching soon. He still does screen enclosures, but wants to do yard care on the side, not enough work out there right now in screening. He is going back to school to get his general contractors licence to build homes.

When we first arived in Gatlinburg, we took a day and went to the zoo.
We had a wonderful time at the Knoxville, Tn Zoo.

Amber and Madelynne loved the petting zoo.

Don and I went to the mountians for 9 days. We left the day after Christmas. My son Donny, his wife Shelly, our 2 grand daughters Amber, Madelynne went with us, and then,my brother in law with his 16 year old son, Andrew came the last few days and stayed with us. Andrew was bicycle racing up in Columbus Ohio, he won 4th place national! When they were coming home, they came through where we were and stayed. We all had a wonderful time of rest. We were on the top of a mountian. Above are pictures of our cabin we stayed in.
