HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

This was last year's Thanksgiving. Sarah and Diane are here but out of the picture and taking it. Rick went home this year but stopped by on Monday and spent the night before he went. Our Thanksgiving was different this year. With Jared and Candace gone up to Washington to spend it with Lee and Spencers' families and Sarah gone on her mission, we were a small group. So, we thought we would eat out and save the fuss. So we (Bruce, Jeri, Diane, Andy, Randie, and Raidon) went to Chuck-o-Rama close by. But it was sooooo crowded that we decided to go back home. We threw together the leftovers from Sunday (which luckily was a small version of Thanksgiving with ham and sweet potatoes. Randie helped me make pies so we could at least have desert at home, so we had plenty of food. But it was still interesting. Raidon was the life of the party. After the kids had to leave, Bruce and I rented some movies and vegged out the rest of the day. Hope everyone else had a great day. The most important thing is that families are together and we remember how thankful we are for our blessings! I love you all! Jeri

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JEANETTE

Such a pretty little girl! I miss Jeanette so much. I found out that I hardly have any pictures of her. We have so many years missed together. Jeanette, if you can get our blog...please write. I love you and have a great birthday! Jeri

Halloween at the Dolan's

So it rained all day but then we got lucky and it had stopped raining and was not even cold. The girls had a ton of fun going from house to house getting more and more candy. After each house Karissa would say, "What we gonna do now?"

Beth, "Go to the next house."

Karissa, "And getting mowa (more)?"

HAPPY BIRTHDAY RON!

We're all thinking of you today, Ron. You've been the best brother anyone could have. I'm so lucky to have you in my life. Love you! Jeri

Birthday Night Out

See my blog for more details on Diane's birthday. Yes, she's 21! Jeri

The family in late 1961

Hi family,

Thank you Jared for helping me get into the blog so that I can author posts. I put this message on the Keith and Kathy blog, but it really belongs here too. This is a classic picture of our family in about late 1961. You all know who we are, but here is a description. I am the baby being held by my oldest sister, Linda. To her right is the next sister, Susan, and below her, sitting, is the next sister, Jeri. My father, Archie, is on the far right and in front of him is my brother, the fourth child, Ronnie. My mother, June, is on the far left, and in front of her is the next child, my sister, Jeanette. As I said I'm the baby, Kathy.

As the picture is scanned out, the car, the trailer, and the landscape looks so cool to me. I really do love my family and am so thankful we can cherish times like this in pictures.

Jeri saw the pictures on our blog and she said that she remembers that day. She said Dad took us kids on scooter rides. I think we called it a "Tote Goat". I'm enjoying your posts. Love you all! Kathy

Howard Halloween

Hi everyone, we had some fun carving pumpkins last week and thought that I'd share our Halloween artwork. Wyatt didn't need any help carving his little pumpkin. Pretty good for 3 months old, huh.

And I couldn't resist sharing this adorable picture of Wyatt getting ready to go for a walk around the neighborhood with Jane. More pics of him are on our website (just click on the Howard Halloween link)... if you're interested.

We love you all and wish you a Happy and safe Halloween!

Spencer, Jane, and Wyatt
