We have 4 children, 8 grand children and 3 great grandchildren.

My 80th Birthday at White Fence Farm

Christmas 2020 was celebrated over a 2 week period.

Our 3rd great granddaughter Teagan Rae was born to Jeff and Abbey on September 4th, 2019

Michelle was sick so I added her to the picture with the help of Photoshop.

We had all 4 of our children and 6 of our grandchildren with us for Christmas 2013, just like we did for Christmas 2010,
