THEY'RE ENGAGED!

Jacob and Karli are engaged. He had told us while he was in Ft. Polk that he intended to propose when he returned. He proposed to her last weekend when she went down to see him in Ft. Bragg, upon his return. This weekend they let each of her parents know and then at a party for her grandparent's 50th anniversary (her mom's parents) and after telling her mom, her mom had them make an announcement to the entire family at the party. We are extremely happy to welcome her into the family. They have known each other since middle school.

Both my boys have made wonderful choices for their mates. I know they will both live happy lives together.

Our Visit with George and Family

Last month we went out to KS to take care of Brexton while Mandy packed up things for them to move out of their apt. while George is away. She and the kids are going out to CA to stay with her mom while George is overseas.So she packed away the things they were taking out with them in a trailer. George will finish up a few things that will go into storage before he heads out. They drove out to CA the day after we left and then George flew back to KS. Brexton is soooo cute and cuddly. He took to us immediately - no little shy boy act at all. He loves his grandpa, especially when he starts to get a little sleepy and grumpy. Grandpa had the magic touch with him then.

 

Such a cutie!
 
Who could resist this face!
 
Who me - I ain't gettin' into anythin'!
