Lindsay and Matt's Wedding - June 5

Looking at the pictures I took, you wouldn't know we were at a wedding. Somehow I didn't take any pictures of the ceremony or the bride and groom, only my family. Oh well, I think they are pretty cute.

Some of these pictures are really funny with silly faces, like this one of Dylan with his beautiful mommy.

Weston and Adam really like to play together.
It was a very nicely done ceremony and reception, Greg and Adam waiting for the party to begin.
Cutie Abby with one of the silly faces.
Pretty Ella, stricking a pose.
Wade found something that he can eat. He has terrible food allergies and has to miss out on a lot of the normal food we all eat. Poor baby, he's really good about it and says, "No, I allergic it makes me itchy" So cute!

Uncle John and his grandson, Ben, JD and Jenn's son. He's a cute grandpa too!
Uncle Greg showes he still has the moves with a newborn, holding Parker.
My beautiful girls with their babies. I think Jenny was out chasing her baby around trying to keep him safe from the little lake that was nearby.
Happy new mommy Julie!
Always beautiful Brandi.
I sure am one lucky Grandma!

Cousins

We have 6 grandsons now,
but it always seems like there are more girls around than boys.

These three are the ones that make up the difference
Baby Parker came along and made our score 6 to 5, in favor of the boys.
But with Greg living in Utah, his little ones are rarely in the mix.
Just love those baby boys!

Another Memorial Day, Pool Party at the Romberg's

I've heard it said,
that if a certain event happens more than once,
and a pattern gets started,
it's a tradition . . . .
Hum, I think we have a tradition.
Some of the girls, Ema, Kylie, Brandi with Ella too
My Waders
Dane
Dylan, not so used to this kind of play

Heeman, Kevin!
Watch this guys!
Here's Dane-O
Non-stop action
Pretty boy Wade, look at his eye lashes.
If there's a football to be found, Adam will find it. He's so cute!
All the swimmers
Greg and Brandi with their babies.
Julie and Dustin with theirs, too. No swimming for baby Parker yet.
Happy Grandma Holly!

Our Youngest Two Grandbabies

Adam is two now are was really enamored with his new baby cousin Parker. He kept wanting to hold him all by himself. You could almost read the love and recognition between Adam and Parker, very special.
Sweet Boys

Disneyland with Greg and Jess and the boys

In May we were lucky enough to have Greg, Jessica and their boys here with us for a little over two weeks. We have so much fun with them when they're here. All of the girls and their families always want to be here too, to enjoy the time with them so it's just one great big family reunion the whole time. All eleven of our grandchildren really love their cousins too, and just love to spend time playing (and fighting) whenever we have the chance, they call each other "my friends" it's so cute.
This is a picture of Adam who's 2, on the tram ride into Disneyland.
It's our "favorite ride" because we always go on it twice, hahaha
The picture taking begins even before we enter the park.
Chelsie, Jessica's sister, came down with Jess and spent a few days here too.
Here they are with Dumbo.
Greg and Dylan ready to go too!
Grandpa Gene with Adam in line for the carousel
Some of my favorite boys/men, they make my life so happy!
Greg and his boys, what a lucky daddy!

I know, it's a little blurry, but I had to share it, they're in Buzz Light Year.
Racking up the points
In the Monkey cage/train car, on Casey Jr.


Here's a cute video of Jess and Chels with the boys on the teacups.

I am brave enough to venture onto the teacups with the boys, too. My secret, let them do the spinning. It's not that bad when you go with the little ones and they do the spinning!
It was nice to spend the day enjoying the experience with our out of towners . . .

but it was sad that all of our other families haven't renewed their passes this year. It is expensive but so worth it when family comes to town. I think they all regretted not having active Disney passes on this day and are saying they are going to renew as soon as they can.

We Can't Blame "Our Kid's Friends" for this one!

Look what we woke up to! It's been years since we've had lovin' like this and back then we had our teenage kids to go clean it up!
It was a really good job, very artistic too.

I'm Slacking Again

We have been so busy that I haven't taken the time to stay caught up with this blog. Jessica, the amazing, wonderful wife and mommy that she is has captured our last few weeks beautifully on her blog.
See her link on the right side of mine, go to hers and you will be all caught up with some of what we've been up too.
I'll get back in the groove soon.

A Rainbow Cloud

The other day while visiting our favorite fine dining establishment, Del Taco in Newport Beach, where I go to meet Gene at lunch time quite often, we saw this strange cloud.

Gene looked out the window and said,

"Wow, look at that cloud!"

So of course, being the "techies" that we are, we took a picture. The owner inside thought we were taking a picture of some homeless guy that has decided to call
"our Del Taco", his home.
Has any one ever seen a cloud that looks like a rainbow?
We never had before, . . . but now we all have!
