Fathers Day!

My Dad passed away when I was 12 years old...My Mom remarried within a year and she did a very good job of choosing! Floyd Slack had 2 son's and willing took on 3 more kids...age 13, 11 & 9. He didn't realize what he was getting himself into!!! (Oh & by the way I was the oldest & the only girl!) He has been there for me in many ways that I can't even say. He gave me away at my wedding. He has been Grandpa to my kids and Great Grandpa to the grandkids!
He enjoys giving tractor rides! He is a wonderful Christian Man and I am proud to say he is my Dad.
My Brother Mike had to go home to Denver on Fathers' Day...but first he and Floyd came to my house to pick up a cd of pictures! I had realized the night before that I had not taken a pic of these two together!!!
Happy Fathers Day!

A Family Reunion...

One more summer family reunion!!! This week my brother Mike came from Colorado to visit! We took the chance to take a few pics of the siblings! From left to right - Me, Dan, Tim, Mike and Mom in front! We couldn't actually put a date to the last time we had all been together in the same place! It was nice to get the time together! Our newest member of the family came for dinner too! Reese Haas was born on May 11th! She is a beautiful tiny little thing!!!
Her brother, Ryder really loves her and is very sweet with her!

More adorable pics of my family...except for the last photo!!! Les tried out Matt's dry-wall stilts and did a great job and so I thought I should try them too. Mid-life crisis?
Well, I looked ridiculous ,
scratched Matt's truck and gave myself bruises on the backs of both legs! Luckily, no broken legs!! (My feet were too small and my legs too shout!)

Whirlwind #2!!!

Here are more photos of our last 30 days!!! Actually these are just from Thursday Friday and Saturday!!! Be sure and see the pics from Whirlwind #1!!!!

A Whirlwind Life

It has been a whirlwind of a life...mostly good, some sad...lots of fun!!! Here is what has been going on for the last 30 days or so!!!
Les & I went on a trip to the Oregon Coast, Crater Lake & Klameth Falls Oregon with his brother Jim & wife Debi.
They came home with us and we had many family type events...bbq on Memorial Day with family & friends etc.
Drew graduated from Kindergarten & school ended for the year.
Les' brother George passed away and Jim & Debi made the 15 hour drive back from AZ for memorial service.
Matt & Janet, Jennifer & Kids arrived for a family week! We did fun things like Turtle Bay, Mesquito Serenade, lots of play time for the kids, Segway tour for the adults with lunch after! Then a day at Shasta Lake!
Les had all of his normal responsibilities in between all of the extra events and I had a Planning Commission meeting in which my family decided to show up and give me a hard time! We went to Riley's swim session with signs made to encourage her! Drew got baptised by her PaPa! We went to Grandpa and Grandma's house for lunch and tractor rides. We had a professional photographer come and take pics of the 7 kids (can't wait to see the proofs!)...I have soooo many pictures of all of the different events I will add a few to this post and hopefully a few more later on!!!
