Am I lucky or What?

These are all my grandbabies. Chloe, Scarlett, Luke and Mia with #5, baby boy Strassburg at about -2 weeks. What a fun family day!

Cari and Juan hosted a Mother's Day feast for all of us Mother's and Grandmother's. It was really really nice and we all enjoyed our day. My mom and my auntie Eve (I'm her name sake) were there with all of their offspring and offspring's offspring (as it were!) :) I'll post more random pictures. Scarlett decided she was done with having her hair in pony tails so she ripped them out and looked a little...uh....scary. :)

Where does time go?

Well I've been a little bit of a slacker on "blogging." So I'll try to catch up a little here. This past weekend we had a little "family reunion" of sorts at my neice's house. Her family "Stark" were having a 95 and 100 year old birthday party for her grandma and great aunt. You would not believe how good these ladies look. But anyway...because of this, my sister Diane from Virginia City, Nevada, my nephew Kenny and his wife Tami, from Colorado, and their two sons, Nate and Jason, from Elko, Nevada and San Francisco, my nephew Jeff and his wife Linda from Idaho, my great nephew Aaron from North Carolina, were all here. It was just a lot of fun to see them all. Don and I and the kids and grandkids all went over there and we had a great time catching up. My mom, 89 and the matriarch of this family, was just loving it. Seeing all her kids, grandkids, great-grandkids and one great great grandkid is just about her favorite thing to do. I took some pictures, we'll see how good.

We are anxiously and gladly awaiting the birth of baby boy Strassburg. He is due the first part of June (the 4th I think). We are hoping that Joe and Shana make it through Mt. Ranch convention first. I'm bringing my car seat just in case Don and I are taking Chloe home. Shana is doing great, but she is so efficient, organized, and together, you wouldn't expect anything else. Cari and Juan moved to a new house and they seem to really love it. She is hosting a Mother's Day BBQ there for all of us mother's. My mom, my sisters, my neices, my cousin, my aunt and of course my kids. I think we figured out that Don would be the only one that wasn't a mother or a mother's child (his mom died in 02) so he has to take the picture. The twins, Luke nad Mia are now 10lbs and just very cute. Alyssa lets me come over once a week and play with them. They will have their first Mt. Ranch convention next week.

Well I'll end with this so far and add pictures.
