We had a wonderful leisurely Memorial Day. Bill put up our tent dining
room and we had a picnic at Gray Park (Our backyard) Then we taught the
grands some golf swings and they enjoyed that a great deal. We might
have the next "Tiger" among our little golfers.

Cora and Georgia-Best cousins

<<167.jpg>> <<172.jpg>> <<175.jpg>> <<157.jpg>>
Our whole family was together Sunday night after Kiley and Gabe returned
from California. The kids love their Papa as they all fought for a place
on his lap. Cora, eight mos old now, loves to suck her toes. She's the
only one in the family who can suck their toes. Darn! Georgia and Cora
are great cousin friends. Can't you just imagine them running around
laughing in a year.

Derek, Jessica and their wedding party

In April, my Mom and I went to California to attend Derek and Jessica's
Wedding. It too place on a Yacht in Newport Beach and was fabulous.

Let's play golf

I just graduated from Golf School and now I am a super golfer!! I wish. I actually enjoy golfing very much. Bill and I will go out about once a week and enjoy the beauty of the outdoors and the spectacular weather we’ve been having lately. It was a very long winter so a lot of time was spent inside, but now we are ready to be outside and get some color. I can’t believe we are so pasty white.

I'm Back

 

In the blogging business!

Gingerbread house Tradition

We just had our 3rd annual "Ginerbread House" extravaganza. The Grands always enjoy the building and the eating very much.

The Gray's Growing Family

Here are the rich blessings that God has so kindly bestowed on us. Makenna is holding Baby Cora and Eli is holding Seth. Kate is due in less than two weeks with Georgia. We can hardly wait.

Val, Kiley and Katey with Baby Cora

We enjoyed being together at Katie Murphy's Wedding Show. Kate had just been in Illinois so we wereso glad to see her. She's doing well and waiting for Georgia to be born.

Little Makenna reading her Bible

Makenna loves reading her Bible.

Ela's Eggs hidden away.

Ela likes to hide her eggs in a new nest every now and then. We have to go out and follow her very discreetly. I hide behind trees and tip toe so she won't see me. I found this stash after looking a a week. They are still fresher than eggs you get in the store and very delicious.

One, hen, two hens, threehens and no more, says Mr. Bill

This is Ela, my little Red Hen. She's one of three very friendly hens in our back yard. They come running when they hear our voice and they sleep in a Cute little Coop that Bill built.

There is no doubt that wrestling is one of their favorite things to do. They growl and scoot and grab each other and Papa loves pretending to throw Eli to the ground. After one of the skirmeshes they got up and hugged and then Kiley got this shot.

Great Grandma Olivia with baby Cora having a good time.

Thursday Morning Bible Study

These are my Bible Study Ladies out for lunch and a visit to our dear Sister Florence. It was her 92 birthday and we wanted to go and sing hymns with her. It was a glorious time. These women are so dear and supportive.

Kiley and Cora

Kiley and Cora and doing well. We feel so blessed with these two girls. Kiley's a great Mom!

Bret and Gabe at the Circus

Bret and Gabe agreed to this picture and they never forbid me to post it. We love our two sons-in-laws so much and we just want to thank them both for loving their families so well even though they're just a couple of clowns.

Eli and the Circus

Eli wasn't sure about the Circus until the Elepahnts arrived, which was nearly til the end. He did like the Popcorn and Cotton Candy though from the beginning.

The Ringling Bros. Circus-Family Event

Seth Loved the Circus Food. Between Popcorn and Cotton Candy he was one happy Circus boy

At The Circus with the Family

Makenna had the best time at the Circus watching the Tight Rope Walkers and Flying Trapeze.

Making quilts for the babies

I have been chained to the sewing machine every Friday for two months now working on baby quilts with a sweet friend, Lori. She is a Master quilter and often grades my ironing and quilting abilities. I got a D- the other day for leaving the iron on the finished quilt top. Well, I was talking so I couldn't help it. We have finished two girl quilts and now will try to get two boy quilts done in the next few weeks. Thanks Lori, you've been great.

Carol, Val and Bill's Wild Rafting Adventure

Carol, Bill and I needed some adventure in our lives so we went rafting on the Payette River.
