Who Remembers This Big Occasson?

Papa found these pictures today and I just had to share them.  Not all of you were born at this time.  It was December, 2003.  And it was Ava's First Birthday Party. 

Ridding on Daddy's Shoulder

I think Ava might have worn the same birthday hat for many years. 

And can this possible be Papa's first Yorkie, DUKE? 

Two Babies Meeting Each Other

I did not see Hailey in any of the Birthday photos but here she is a few days later when we took her Christmas Gift to her.  This is at Hailey's home at Christmas. 

Among the Weeping Willows

I always loved willow trees. We planted one in our front yard when Kevin and April were little and we loved it. I think that love has carried down from me to April to Lily. Here are Rosie and Lily under cousin Vada's willow tree. Willow trees do not usually last more than 20 years. This one survived the terrible ice strom and is back strong again.

 

Easter Six Years Ago

My, my, my, how everyone has changed. This is before Carson and Blakely were born and Sydney is not here in the picture -- but I think she was a tiny baby at the time.  You can click on the picture to see yourself better.

Precious Snugglebunnies (Grandkids 2004)

Look what I found, cousins first meet Sydney. Do you recognize yourselves back in the year 2004?

In Memory of O'Neal

Some of you may barely remember O'Neal.  She went to heaven seven years ago on November 19.  Here she is at her last Christmas.   O'Neal fought hard.  You must live your lives letting Jesus be Lord of your lives so that you can see her in Heaven some day. 

Hey, you can click on the photo and see that Papa had hair back then.  Ha-ha

Who had not yet been born in this picture?
