Happy Birthday dear Trey.

Happy Birthday to you. 

Love Always, Mom and Dad

Bill, Amy and the boys joined us tonight to celebrate Trey'sbirthday.  As you can see, Trey got a magic wand to make himself younger,a "Over the Hill Whistle" to carry around in case he falls downand can't get up, and a "I'm 40" baseball cap.  The cake and icecream was served in black color plates and everyone had black color napkins. Lots of fun and laughs.

Our Family Retreat 2011

What a great time everyone had on our family retreat at the Crow's Nest in Newport.  We just got back a few hours ago.  I will post some of the pictures later for all to enjoy.  The weather couldn't have been any better.  Warm and sunny all three days.

Somewhere over the Rainbow

I just have to share this with everyone. I love the way IZ sings this song.

Family Blog

What a beautiful day it is here in Roseburg.  Margaret and I are so blessed by the Lord to be able to take off tomorrow to Newport for our yearly family retreat. It is such a blessing to be able to spend three days with our family just hanging out and enjoying each others company.

I haven't seen to much activity on the family blog for quite some time now.  I realize that with facebook and other media blogging takes a backseat.  Our family blog has been up and running now for three years and it has lots of photographs and posts that are nice to go back and look at every now and then.

The whole idea of the family blog was to keep communications open and share what was happening in our families with words and pictures.  I would really like to see more updated posts from everyone, but I do realize that sometimes life gets a little busy.

I have decided to take a survey from family blog members to find out if there is enough support to continue the family blog.  Please take time to cast your vote in the survey box on the right. 

Fun at the County Fair!

Margaret and I had a fun day at the Douglas County fair today. We spent the day with Bill, Amy and the boys just hanging out looking at all of the animals and exhibits. We then had lots of fun watching Jack and Sammy riding all of the carnival rides. What a blessing it was just to be able to enjoy the day with Bill, Amy and our grand kids.

 

Cannaday Family Reunion 2011
